Other mistake: In the two scenes that occur at Lucky's base in Iraq, it is quite obvious the writers did not do much research about the Army in Iraq now, or the Army in general. Alcohol is not allowed on any US base anywhere in the Middle East during the current conflict, and this is true for all branches of the military. Even if Lucky did manage to procure contraband alcohol, he would not drink it openly, because an MP would arrest him within minutes. If he appeared in his Sergeant's tent drunk, he would be arrested, and severely disciplined, probably demoted. No one on a US base would be known as a habitual drunk, because anyone found drunk more than once would be either sent back to the states for rehab, or dishonorably discharged. Also, in the US Army, Sergeants are never addressed as "Sir." This is one of the very first things a new recruit learns at Basic Training, and it is drilled into him. It is extraordinarily unlikely that a soldier would slip up and call a sergeant "Sir" once, let alone repeatedly, as Lucky's buddy does. After the first time, the Sergeant would correct him.

Will the Real Fred Rovick Please Stand Up? - S6-E14
Plot hole: Joe says that he and Allison told people they conceived Ariel on the weekend of their wedding, even though they knew that Allison was about five weeks pregnant at that time. In episode 6.15 the plot is all about how Allison is expecting Ariel and there is a lot of talk of how she is their first child and they can't tell anyone about it because they aren't married yet. But in the season two episode "Sweet Child O' Mine" it was revealed that they were going to have a baby once before Ariel, a boy they were going to name Brian, but that Allison miscarried.
Suggested correction: What exactly is the point. She was pregnant and miscarried. So? That's not a mistake.
Allison Dubois: I just had a weird dream.
Joe Dubois: Of course you did. It's a day ending in "Y."
Trivia: In the episode "Mothers Little Helper" When you see the front of the refrigerator, the word HARLO is visible on it, Patricia Arquette's daughter is named HARLOW, fitting for a storyline about mothers and daughters.
