When William says "I'm going to go find him," he stands up and we see him leave the note on the microscope.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, there is a side shot of Alf on the phone that has Alf saying "Sammy...shalom" with his right hand on what appears to be a phone book. When the camera cuts to the front angle, not only is Alf's right hand all of a sudden on the phone cord, but the phone book has also changed positions. (00:00:20)

Continuity mistake: After Willie is arrested, he is talking to Kate while he is in the jail cell. Willie then begins to say "I don't know what happened. All I know is someone used my radio and now I'm a criminal and they're going to hang me" with the camera view being behind Kate with Willie's hands outside the jail cell bars. Then when the camera cuts to inside the cell, Willie's hands are not only inside the cell but Willie is further back away from the bars with his hands inside the cell, with no time to have made the move. (00:10:30)
Continuity mistake: When Alf calls Air Force One the second time (after Willie has been arrested) we can see that Mr. De Foe is playing solitaire. After the guy who answers Alf's call says "You might want to try that 4 of Spades on that 5 of Diamonds", Mr De Foe drops a small stack of cards on some of his already played cards and says "Just place the call and trace this one." The camera then cuts to the guy who answered Alf's call but when it cuts back to De Foe, the cards he dropped are now neatly stacked in front of him with out anytime to have replaced them. After the cuts of De Foe talking to Alf, De Foe eventually saying "I'll see what I can do" and the cards are back lying on his other cards like they were when he first dropped them. (00:13:55 - 00:14:30)

Character mistake: During the radio show, the radio host gives the radio station's phone number as 555-4455, Alf then softly repeats the number back before he gets to the phone. He then picks up the headset and dials a number, but the numbers he presses on the phone don't match up to the number given by the radio station. (00:04:10)
Audio problem: After Alf calls the radio station and tells the station to give Jody his phone number, Alf walks to the towards the table saying "Friend...wish I had one" with the phone in his hand. Right after Alf says "Friend..." listen closely in the background and you can hear a far off phone ringing about 2 seconds before the one Alf is using starts. (00:04:55)
Visible crew/equipment: When the family walks into the kitchen after ALF was talking to Jody, you can see the set lights.

Answer: Regarding the "how", zucchini is an easy-to-grow vegetable that proliferates quickly, almost like a weed. My mother and our neighbours used to grow it, resulting in an over-abundance that was sometimes difficult to give away.
