Mistakes

When Charlie is going through his comebacks with the guy in the bar, right before he gives the last one he is seen from a distance standing next to the guy, then he starts and the scene changes to a close up and he is now leaning against the table that's up against the wall. See more...

Entry In order to answer the obvious question - why doesn't he have rhinoplasty? - there is a scene in which we learn that C.D. is allergic to all known anaesthetics, local and general. No fire service in the world would allow anyone with an allergy like that anywhere near an active fire-fighting role, especially that of fire chief. He'd be lucky to get a desk job. What would happen if he was injured on the job - as firefighters very frequently are? [First, firefighters are not very frequently injured on the job. While the job has its' dangers, it is less dangerous than a logger, miner, or even truck driver. All jobs I've done, with only a sprained ankle, once, on the job. A fire chief is more like a manager or desk job than active firefighting as it is, so in fact he does have a desk job. He's allergic to anesthetics, but that doesn't mean he can't have work performed on him without it. Like dental work without freezing. It may be painful, but it can be done.]
Entry When the guys are walking the cow down the street, cars appear and disappear in the background throughout the scene. [Two cars are parked on the curb - all the rest are being driven.]
Entry During the scene when Charlie has to come up with 20 put-downs about having a big nose (in the bar), he rattles off 19 insults and asks "How many is that?"  A gentleman in the bar yells, "Fourteen, Chief!"  Then Charlie proceeds to give six more insults for a total of 25. [This isn't really an error. Perhaps the man wanted to get Charlie to say a few more.]
Entry When Roxanne asks Chris to say something romantic, he says, "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you're near?" She says "Isn't that from a song?" It is indeed from "Close to You" by the Carpenters. [Far too obvious to be trivia - it's the whole point of the joke.]
