Show generally

Continuity mistake: Sometimes Ed's fireplace in his office is on the right wall but then other times it's on the left. Plus Ed and Mikes' offices switch sides mid series. Ed's office is stage right in early years, Mike's is stage right in later years.

Here's the Kicker - S4-E1

Other mistake: The score board says Huskies 16, Visitors 14, with 16 seconds left on the football game. But the story is that Eve, who is the kicker for the Huskies, kicks the winning field goal. The Huskies are already winning. (00:10:00)

Pilot - S1-E1

Other mistake: Ed is telling Mike he is taking over the website. Ed says, "We have to lure young men to our stuff." Mike replies, "That sounds like something my sisters would say!" As we find out in later episodes, Mike has no sisters. (00:05:00 - 00:06:10)

Dual Time - S9-E2

Deliberate mistake: When Tim Taylor is telling Mike about his show "Tool Time," he mentions that it lasted for 8 years. Later in the episode when Mike is asking Tim why he stopped doing the show, Tim says it's because he found it challenging to keep the show great and not run out of ideas. Firstly, while Home Improvement ran for 8 years, the show within the show of "Tool Time" was already a couple years old when Home Improvement started, as evidenced by the fact that its season 3 episode "Fifth Anniversary" was about "Tool Time" celebrating its 5th anniversary, as the title suggests. Additionally, Tim didn't quit "Tool Time" for the reasons he stated here. He spontaneously quit over creative differences with Binford's new president, who was turning the show into a sensationalist Jerry Springer type of format, and because his wife Jill had just been given a job in Indiana, and he decided the family would move there to support her.

Phaneron

Your Move - S9-E13

Character mistake: When Ryan is recreating the chess game he and Mandy played, he has the chessboard setup incorrectly. He has the dark square on the lower right corner when it should be the white square. He was a junior grand master and would know better, especially since he had the board set up correctly when they were playing.

Good Cop, Bad Cop - S1-E6

Character mistake: Mike is holding and talking about his .59 caliber flintlock and refers to placing a percussion cap on it to fire it. A flintlock does not use a percussion cap.

Precious Snowflakes - S6-E9

Factual error: During the switching of scenes, when visiting where Mike 1st began, it shows a marathon gas station in the background. There are no marathon gas stations West of the Mississippi river.

Last Halloween Standing - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mike is in Ed's office he is sitting in a chair he has a remote in his hand. His hand is up by his ear the shot changes, his hand is now in front of him. The remote is in his left-hand then switches to his right. When he leaves it is back in his left.

The Wolf Returns - S5-E1

Other mistake: As Ed and Kyle are leaving Ed's office, Ed reaches over and puts his hand on the light switch to turn off the lights. The lights go off, Ed moves his hand away, but the position of the switch never changes. (00:11:10)

Attractive Architect - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Vanessa sits at the table and has her hands on a glass of orange juice. The shot changes and she is now eating chips. In another shot she is suddenly holding a sandwich. The amount of orange juice also keeps changing. And the plate in front of Mike keeps changing position.

Baxter & Sons - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Jim gets up to leave after being denied a loan, he doesn't open the door before turning around when Mike talks about co-signing. When it cuts to Jim as he says "forget it", the door is now opened, but closed the next time we see it.

Co-Ed Softball - S1-E5

Ed: Just mark down co-ed if you want to play with girls, and uh just Ed if you prefer men.
Everyone looks at him
Ed: That did not come out right.

Heavy Meddle - S6-E20

Trivia: When Vanessa is about to go outside to shoot arrows with Eve, Mike (Tim Allen) tells her to aim low so she doesn't shoot over the fence or she'll hit the "weird dude always giving me advice." He then covers his mouth with his hand. A reference to Wilson on Tim Allen's show "Home Improvement" and how the fence always covered the lower half of his face.
