Leap Year - S3-E18

Factual error: Sue's birthday isn't actually on Leap Day as this birthday is her 15th (in season 4 she celebrates her Sweet 16) and Leap Day birthdays are multiples of 4. The closest leap day birthday in this sense would be her 16th.

The Bachelor - S4-E19

Character mistake: When Sue and her opponent switch sides right before her opponent smashes her racket, the score in games is 5-1. In tennis, you only switch sides when the sum of games is an odd number (4-3, 5-2, 1-0) for example.

Average Rules - S1-E24

Other mistake: When Brick first goes to see Betty White in the library, she gives him until Walt Whitman's birthday (May 31st) to return the books. When he returns and realises he is still short 1 book, she gives him until Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday which is May 22nd - before Whitman's birthday.

Adult Swim - S8-E20

Continuity mistake: As Sue and Brick splash around in the pool, Mike repeatedly changes position from facing them head on in the views of Sue and Brick, to angled away from them in the views of Mike draining the pool.

Adult Swim - S8-E20

Continuity mistake: When the neighborhood kids enter the Heck's yard, Mike turns towards them twice. When the kids leave, Mike turns to Sue and Brick twice and nods his head twice.

Valentines Day II - S2-E14

Factual error: In this episode it's Valentines Day, Feb 14, the middle of winter in Indiana. The background outside shots show a bright sunny day with green leaves on the trees. Not in Indiana in the middle of winter.

Last Whiff of Summer: Part 1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When Mike and Frankie come into the house early in the episode, Sue has her feet up on the coffee table. Her legs switch from left over right to right over left, depending on how close the camera is. (00:01:35)

Last Whiff of Summer: Part 1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When her parents come in to the room, Sue has her feet up on the coffee table, with the left foot over the right. In the next shot, they're switched to right over left, then back again. (00:01:45)
