Corrected entry: When Jimmy and Brad are talking to Emma (the deaf girl) near the end of the episode, Brad translates Emma's sign language for Jimmy, but when Jimmy talks, Brad makes no hand signs for Emma. Therefore, she shouldn't be able to understand what Jimmy is saying, yet she replies. She can't be lip-reading, or else she would have understood what Lily or Henry was saying upstairs in Jimmy's room (you could see from her reactions that she didn't understand either of them).
Grounded for Life (2001)
1 corrected entry in season 4
Starring: Donal Logue, Kevin Corrigan, Megyn Price, Lynsey Bartilson
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: During the scene with the family in the living room and Claudia and Lily are sitting on the covered couch, the sheet falls off the top of the couch. In subsequent shots the sheet falls off and goes back on the top through the whole scene.
Henry Finnerty: Wow, that ride must be really scary. Those two guys are holding hands.
James "Jimmy" Finnerty: That's the line for cotton candy.
Trivia: Megyn Price plays Claudia Finnerty, mother of Lily Finnerty (Lynsey Bartilson). In real life, Price is only 12 years older than Bartilson.
Question: I don't understand Lily's nervousness about impressing Dean in this episode - almost as if they have never been on a date. She already referred to him as her "boyfriend" in "Smoke on the Daughter", and they arranged a date in that episode. And he has been in her bedroom and brought her a Christmas present ("I Saw Daddy Hitting Santa Claus"). Why does this episode suddenly make it seem like they have never been on a date?
Answer: "Take It to the Limit", while aired as the 13th episode, was the 7th episode produced for the 2nd season (production code 207). "Smoke on the Daughter" was the 8th episode (208) and "I Saw Daddy Hitting Santa Clause" was the 10th episode (210) produced. Often shows air episodes out of production order for various reasons. If they had aired 210 in order, it would have aired on Jan 23rd instead of Dec 19th, hardly a good time to air a Christmas themed episode.

Correction: Jimmy was speaking slowly and saying it so she could easily read his lips, Lily and Henry were talking to fast for her.
