Young At Heart - S8-E17

Continuity mistake: When Tim slams on the brakes at the red light, his hand ends up on Alex's right breast, and she is facing forward and glancing down at his hand. When Jill looks at the corresponding traffic ticket that Tim got, the photo shows his hand is now in her decollete area and she is looking directly at him. (00:08:05 - 00:10:47)

What a Drag - S7-E16

Other mistake: When Tim and Jill are staking out in Wilson's backyard to see which of their sons hid the marijuana, Jill mentions that it's only 10° outside. However, their breath is never visible throughout the scene.

Bright Christmas - S7-E11

Character mistake: Jill mentions that her parents were married for 50 years, and her mother corrects her and says it was 51 years and 7 months. However, the season 6 episode Jill And Her Sisters was about the aforementioned ladies planning their parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and the penultimate episode of the season, Taps, saw Jill's father die a few months after the former episode. Since only a few months had passed, there's no way Jill's parents could have been married for 51 years and 7 months.

Wrong Side of the Tracks - S2-E19

Trivia: Will Friedle has said that for the dream sequence with Nancy Kerrigan, they dyed his hair to match the ice-skating double's hair, instead of the other way around, likely because it is easier to darken someone's hair than it is to lighten it. Friedle wondered why they didn't just have him and the double wear beanies to cover their hair instead of sending him to a salon in Lake Placid to get his hair dyed.

Trivia: After landing the role of Eric, Will Friedle and his dad walked around Universal CityWalk Hollywood, where they ran into Jason Marsden, who was also up for the role of Eric.

Trivia: Despite being placed in the middle of the season, this was one of the first episodes filmed. Will Friedle and Rider Strong stated on the Pod Meets World podcast that they think it was originally supposed to be the pilot that was rejected by the studio, because footage from the episode is in the opening credits sequence.

The Happiest Show On Earth - S3-E21

Trivia: Will Friedle had a huge crush on Staci Keanan from Step By Step and begged the producers to get her on the show. They ended up putting her in this episode, but much to Will's chagrin, he didn't get to be part of the episode's Disney World plot, and thus didn't work with her.

Trivia: Connecticut native Will Friedle once wore a jersey for the Hartford Whalers - a defunct NHL team - with his name on it at a Disney event. The next day, he found an Anaheim Mighty Ducks jersey in his dressing room, who were owned by Disney at the time, implying that the studio wanted him to start wearing that to events instead.

Trivia: Kevin Smith has said that Jason Mewes hit on Carrie Fisher, using many Star Wars-related innuendos. Fisher asked him to stop, not because she was offended by it, but because many people hit on her in the same manner (including Ben Affleck), but none would ever actually go all the way with it.
