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.

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)

The Christmas Miracle - S9-E10

Continuity mistake: As Frankie explains her Christmas party plans to Mike, his arms are crossed. When he prods Frankie out of his way, he crosses his arms. When Frankie answers Brick's question, Mike crosses his arms again.
