Mother and Child Reunion - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: After Willie and Alf talk about what's for breakfast, in the far away shot Lynn has a bottle of orange juice and she begins pouring it into a glass, then she starts putting the lid back on the bottle. When the camera cuts to a close up of just Alf and Dorothy, not only is the bottle of orange juice already sat down but Lynn starts to grab her glass of orange juice without anytime to have put the bottle down, let alone to start to pick up her glass.

Pennsylvania 6-5000 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When the FBI agent says "We will have to call the president on that one" Brian is in the background with his hands on the edge of the stool. When the camera cuts to Brian saying "I'll call him for you" he is sitting in a different position. (00:18:15)

Pennsylvania 6-5000 - S1-E4

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)

Pennsylvania 6-5000 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Lynn says "Mom, I need to use the phone," we see Kate raise her left hand and point then say "In a minute, dear" then when the camera cuts to another angle, Kate's right arm is all of a sudden on her neck. (00:00:55)

Pennsylvania 6-5000 - S1-E4

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.

Looking For Lucky - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After Brian finds the note Alf left, we see William put the note under the microscope to inspect the tear drops. When William says "I'm going to go find him," he stands up and we see him leave the note on the microscope. When the camera cuts to William walking through the door, he all of a sudden has the note in his hand that was left on the microscope. (00:12:55 - 00:13:35)

Keepin' the Faith - S1-E5

Question: When Al is holding a stack of towels, the Tanners say that he is "carrying towels through the damp." What does that mean?

Answer: Mr Tanner actually asks Alf, "Why are you carrying our towels through the den?" The streaming subtitles are wrong when it substitutes "damp" for "den" twice. It's possible the error originated from the VHS or DVD, which occurs often.

Super Grover

Yes, I was re-watching episodes, and I heard "den" the next time. Thank you for answering, though.
