The Dropout - S2-E1
Character mistake: When Greg was in his room talking to his parents, he said that Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra never went to college. Joe DiMaggio attended Yale University, Mickey Mantle attended the University of Oklahoma and Yogi Berra attended Montclair State University.
Suggested correction: DiMaggio dropped out of high school and worked odd jobs before playing semi-pro ball. His son, Joe DiMaggio Jr attended Yale for one year. Mantle was offered a scholarship to Oklahoma to play football, but he never went. He started playing semi-pro ball at the age of 17. Berra dropped out of school after the 8th grade and then signed with the Yankees when he was 18 (but served in the military before playing). Montclair State University gave Berra an honorary degree in 1996.

The Voice of Christmas - S1-E12
Revealing mistake: Carol's hair is quite noticeably shorter in an almost 'Twiggy' bob. When in the prior episode 'Vote for Brady' it was past her shoulders, curled into a very fashionable bubble flip. Not that she wouldn't have visited the stylist after the campaign. Just a very noticeable difference.
Suggested correction: The episodes were aired out of order, so this episode did not immediately follow the previous episode in production. Plus, this was a Christmas episode and Carol was preparing to sing in the holiday service, which is just one possible reason why she'd change her hairstyle.

Corrected entry: Near the end when Greg goes into the living room to call the police, he picks up the phone receiver and says into it "Jan, hang up the phone, I have to make an important call." But Jan was in the TV room, watching the TV, sitting next to Marcia.
Correction: The phone is sitting next to her on the couch and you can see she's on the phone.

Kitty Karry-All is Missing - S1-E7
Corrected entry: Bobby is accused of stealing Cindy's doll, but there's no way that Bobby could have done it. Bobby left the room after talking to Cindy (not knowing Cindy was about to leave the room too), then Cindy walks out of the room (leaving the doll behind) for only a few short seconds, then walks backs in and suddenly the doll is gone. Bobby walks back into the room and is immediately accused. Reviewing all this, Bobby wouldn't have enough time to walk into the room and take the doll without being seen by Cindy.
Correction: The audience might know that Bobby didn't do it, and we obviously find out it was Tiger. But that wasn't the point. In Cindy's mind, Bobby hated her doll and was the only one who could have taken it, and in her mind (she's only 7 or 8 years old remember), she was gone long enough for Bobby to take it.
