Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lucas destroys Jake's statue, in the wide shots, the baseball bat on the floor is nowhere near a doll head. But in the closeup, it's right next to a doll's head.

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lucas destroys Jake's statue, there's a high-angle shot where he throws the baseball bat onto the floor. A few shots pass and we see another high-angle shot and the debris on the floor is slightly different. (Likely from two different takes of him destroying the statue and throwing the bat down.)

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Logan is asking Lucas about "how's business?", Bree goes from holding her fork to not holding it instantly between cuts.

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Other mistake: When we see the close-up of the newspaper headline that says "Ray Parents Slain" at the start of the episode, look at the smaller articles on the close-up side of the screen—they're literally gibberish.

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jake walks away at the beginning of the episode and the homeowner notices the butcher knife is gone, the way she has her hands resting on the moneybox changes between cuts.

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jake buys Chucky at the beginning of the episode, as it cuts back and forth between Jake's angle and the homeowner's angle, the way Jake is holding Chucky changes a few times. (Ex. In some shots, Jake is holding Chucky a few feet in front of him, in others he's holding Chucky right next to his chest, etc.)

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Trivia: During the first major scene at the yard-sale after the cold open, a woman in a red coat can briefly be seen wandering around in the background, but her face is never seen. This is actually a subtle easter-egg. The woman is meant to be Tiffany, with the implication that she had something to do with planting Chucky at the yard sale.

Trivia: One of the first things "Chucky" creator Don Mancini negotiated was to allow Chucky to use harsh profanity, including the word "fuck," as he didn't want to wimp down the franchise for cable. Mancini eventually worked out a deal with the networks, who allowed him up to 10 "fucks" per episode, despite the show airing in the primetime block. Mancini was later able to negotiate a few extra "fucks" in the season one finale.

Goin' to the Chapel - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Father Bryce explodes, and it's shown from multiple angles over and over, the way his head flies into the air is different in some of the shots. In some of the shots, it flies straight up several feet into the air, while in other shots, it only shoots about one foot into the air and also shoots forward slightly, revealing multiple different takes were edited together.

Halloween II - S2-E1

Trivia: When the bomb goes off, if you pay attention, the green smoke that billows into the sky subtly takes on the image of Chucky's face for a few seconds.

Season 2 generally

Trivia: Something for the film score geeks - In season two, episode five, when Tiffany reveals the original Glen doll to the human version of Glen, for about thirty seconds in the background, you can faintly hear a new recording of the theme to "Seed of Chucky," the film where Glen/Glenda was first introduced. Later, in episode eight, when "G.G." is revealed in doll form, we again hear snippets of a new recording from the "Seed of Chucky" score. (Taken from the ending of the track "Pride of Chucky").

Goin' to the Chapel - S2-E7

Trivia: SPOILERS: In season two, episode seven, when Father Bryce explodes and it is shown over and over from a multitude of angles, it is a direct homage to the 1978 film "The Fury." At the end of that film, a character explodes in a similar fashion, being shown over and over again from different angles. Series creator Don Mancini has discussed how much he enjoys "The Fury" in the past, and has thrown in some subtle references to it in the "Chucky" franchise.

The Sinners Are Much More Fun - S2-E2

Trivia: Father Bryce at one point offers the advice "Idle hands are the devil's playground." While it is a fairly common phrase, this is also a subtle reference to the 1999 horror-comedy movie "Idle Hands," which starred Devon Sawa... who also happens to play Father Bryce. Hence the phrase being included and delivered with a knowing smile by Sawa. Around the time the episode aired, Sawa also uploaded a video on his social media of him briefly reprising his character Anton from the film.

Chucky Actually - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When the living-doll version of Glen/Glenda/GG is revealed, after they thank Tiffany for giving them a makeover, the way they are holding the mirror changes instantly between cuts. This then continues throughout the rest of the scene, with them holding the mirror in a different way between shots probably a dozen times.

Twice the Grieving, Double the Loss - S1-E7

Trivia: The title card is made up of a mass of gravestones. If you pause and look closely, in addition to characters from the show, many of the gravestones are for characters killed by Chucky throughout the movie series, including Eddie Caputo from "Child's Play," Phillip and Joanne Simpson from "Child's Play 2," Warren Kincaid from "Bride of Chucky," Redman from "Seed of Chucky," and several others.

Trivia: "Child's Play 3" director Jack Bender ran into showrunner/Chucky creator Don Mancini while the show was in production. Bender asked Mancini how much more realistic Chucky would be, given 30 years had passed since his movie. Mancini shocked Bender by explaining that fans had made it clear they loved Chucky's classic simple, jerky movements since they were inherently more doll-like, and didn't want him to "evolve" too much. So they purposely used simple effects so he wouldn't be "too realistic."

Trivia: Nathan Cross, the long-suffering husband of Mayor Michelle Cross, is played by Michael Therriault. Therriault actually also appeared in the film "Cult of Chucky" as the villainous Dr. Foley. Spoiler Alert: Both characters meet a grizzly fate at the hands of Chucky.

Trivia: The show's main character is a gay teenager named Jake who is bullied and mistreated. Chucky's creator Don Mancini has stated that Jake is partially inspired by his own upbringing, as he realised he was gay as a teenager and dealt with some similar issues growing up. (Albeit, he obviously didn't deal with a supernaturally possessed doll.) Mancini has also stated that Chucky is meant to be a metaphor for childhood bullying in the series, as he mistreats and manipulates Jake.

Give Me Something Good to Eat - S1-E2

Trivia: This episode features the first reference to Chucky's offspring Glen/Glenda since the release of "Seed of Chucky" 17 years prior. Both prior sequels ("Curse of Chucky" and "Cult of Chucky") made no mention of Glen/Glenda.

TedStixon

Trivia: Creator Don Mancini has said that the series will be taking heavy tonal and stylistic cues from the film "Child's Play 2," as that entry in the series is considered a fan favorite. This includes basing Chucky's look on the design seen in that film, as opposed to redesigns from later films in the series.
