The Children's Carol - S6-E11

Factual error: After Jason tells Olivia that he's giving up playing his music because he doesn't think he has a choice, when it cuts to the exterior shot of the rooming house, the vehicle parked in front is modern. The same type of thing happens later, when John rescues Pip from the airfield there are modern vehicles, etc, on the street in the background. (00:34:30 - 01:29:30)

Continuity mistake: When Pup and Tess are on the runway and John runs to save them, they huddle as the plane passes. After the plane passes, they stand up but you cannot see the airplane that supposedly just passed them. (01:29:35)

The Outrage: Part 1 - S9-E1

Trivia: While everyone is at the table eating supper and talking, little John Curtis taps on John's shoulder, then John turns and asks "What?" John Curtis points to his pants and excitedly says, "I got new pants," and John says, "I see that. Who got you those? Your mommy?" Then John Curtis looks offscreen, away from the other actors on set, and replies, "No, from Pat," (no characters named Pat are on the show) and without missing a beat, John responds, "From Pat? Where does she live? On the next farm?" And John Curtis answers, "Yeah," amidst all the giggles we can hear, so John answers with a smirk, "Okay, good!" This is such a hilariously precious unscripted moment, and great they decided to leave it in the episode. (00:26:15)
