Roseanne

Father's Day - S1-E14

Other mistake: The episode where Dan's dad visits and says he invented the rear windshield wiper he says Dan was 3 years old and Audrey was 8 months pregnant, but Dan's an only child.

Workin' Overtime - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: After Booker announces the overtime, Roseanne asks Jackie for a quarter. Jackie takes her glove off her right hand. In the next shot, Jackie reaches into her purse and takes her glove off her right hand a second time, before getting a coin out of her coin purse.

Out of the Past - S8-E15

Factual error: 1/4 through the show, Darlene, Becky, David and Becky's husband, Mark, are playing Scrabble. Mark puts down "oxygen" on the board in the lower corner with the "O" covering the triple word square. David is counting up the score and says the "X" is on the triple letter box, and totals the points up to 99. The problem is there is no triple letter box next to the triple word box or even on the outside edges of the board.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the episode where Jackie takes over the house, while Roseanne is at their parents. DJ comes in the kitchen and is sent in the laundry area for a shirt. Before he goes in there he is wearing a pair of dark jean with nothing on them. He comes back a second later with his head stuck in a shirt still with the same pants on. But when he finally pops his head through the shirt his pants have changed to a pair of stonewash, with what looks like bleach stains on the front. A wide shot of the kitchen in the next frame and his pants are back to the dark ones with nothing on them.

Promises, Promises - S5-E22

Revealing mistake: After Charlotte picks out a dress with Roseanne in the kitchen, and she tells Darlene that she should also go to the prom, she runs from the kitchen like she is going home, but she is running between the kitchen and outside wall of laundry room. (00:08:00)

Friends and Relatives - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Roseanne is talking on the phone to Jackie, she continually moves around the kitchen while preparing dinner. The extra-long phone cord goes from being completely wrapped around her waist to just being behind her, then wrapped around her again, without moving in a way that would unwind it.

Like, a New Job - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Darlene and Becky's second-story bedroom window is on the side of the house and at the house's backside (D.J.'s room is at the front and the windows are also on the side). However, when the girls argue and throw each other's items out the window, everything falls into the front yard, as viewed from the living room. Even if they threw stuff from the house's front, the roof extends too far out below two smaller upper windows. Everything would land on the roof.

Stand on Your Man - S5-E9

Other mistake: After the crazy guy threatened Roseanne when she was working alone at the Lunch Box, Dan wanted to teach her and Jackie how to use a gun for protection. Dan seems to have forgotten that Jackie was a cop for the Lanford Police Force and already is trained in firearms use. He regularly saw her in uniform with a sidearm.

The Pied Piper of Lanford - S3-E25

Continuity mistake: In Ziggy's first appearance in the series (S2, EP. 16 "Born to Be Wild"), he says he has two kids. He states "I had to make mine. I checked them at birth, they're boys!" However in his second appearance in the series here, he states they were his girlfriend, Jill's, kids and the kids are back living with their father.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Not really a mistake because based on the conversation with Dan, it was implied that Ziggy, who is flakey and unpredictable, was not really serious when he said the the two boys were his biological kids.

The Wedding - S8-E23

Character mistake: When Roseanne, Darlene, Jackie, Bev, Becky, and Nana Mary are dressing for Darlene's wedding, Nana Mary comments that all of them were pregnant when they married. However, Becky, was not pregnant when she and Mark eloped and they never had children together. Roseanne was not pregnant before marrying Dan.

Continuity mistake: When the girls are at the Lobo Jackie has a long scarf in her hair that moves between having the length of the scarf behind her back and then draped on her front left side.

Dear Mom and Dad - S1-E22

Roseanne: If my parents move to Lanford, I'm gonna be sleeping on a cot for the rest of my life because I'm gonna be in prison for blowing them away.
Dan: Honey, Honey, be realistic. You don't know how to use a gun. I'll do it.
