School Daze - S6-E24
Continuity mistake: Fred tells Lamont he quit high school to support his parents but in Season 1 Episode 5 A Matter of Life and Breath he told Lamont he'd quit school at age 10.
Sanford and Son (1972)
1 continuity mistake in season 6
Starring: Redd Foxx, Demond Wilson, Don Bexley, LaWanda Page
Genres: Comedy
Revealing mistake: Fred is reading from "The Joanna Rhodes Beauty Book" and the title is shown on the dust cover. When Fred tilts the book, though, the words "Winston S. Churchill" are visible on the actual book under the dust cover. Also visible is the script from which the actor is reading, tucked inside the book and held by clips.
Aunt Esther: Watch it, sucka.
Trivia: Throughout the series, a number of times Fred mentions "Pluto water." It was a popular strongly laxative natural water product that was sold until 1971, when production and sales halted because lithium, one of the mineral salts, was declared a controlled substance. Sanford and Son debuted in 1972, so Fred couldn't have had this product throughout the series.
