Chrissy's Date - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: After Chrissy purposely spills the wine onto her married date's lap, he raises the glass, and it's cleverly covered in saran wrap, so that the glass pieces don't go flying when she breaks it with hers.

Cousin Cuisine - S7-E7

Character mistake: When Felipe thinks Jack proposed to his cousin Maria, Felipe is happy and congratulates Jack. Later in the episode though, Maria's fiancé shows up and Felipe is shown as already knowing about him. Why wouldn't Felipe tell Jack that Maria was already engaged instead of showing happiness of Jack's "proposal"?

Suggested correction: You missed the entire plot of the episode. Maria's fiancé broke off the engagement, so she went to Felipe's. Then, when he thought Jack had proposed, he was happy. But Jack thought he was happy for offering her a job. Jack then begins talking about Maria as an employee (like trying her out in the kitchen and getting someone to train her). But Felipe thought Jack meant those things about Maria being his wife and got mad at Jack. Then told Jack he's not marrying Maria.

Jack's Navy Pal - S2-E20

Plot hole: How could a blind man (Jim Walsh) just find Jack's apartment like that? Phoning from the Reagle Beagle, Chrissy simply states "you're nearby to us" and then hangs up the phone (without giving the address). Even if he was given the address, being blind he would not be able to find the building, let alone the right unit that quickly, but he knocks on the door within 5 min of the call.

Suggested correction: This is from s02e10, "Stanley Casanova." However, she doesn't say margarita, she says daiquiri, which is what Jack made with tequila. Daiquiris don't contain tequila but typically rum.

The Not-So-Great Imposter - S5-E9

Plot hole: All these characters (the bookie, policemen, the sister, the husband) were after David Miller and all come to attack Jack in some way (thinking Jack is David Miller). However, a big city like LA most likely has several David Millers so why would they all assume this David Miller is the one they're looking for? So even though Jack's name could have been David Miller, how would everyone think he is the one they're looking for?

Suggested correction: These are questions, not plot holes. First, Jack and the restaurant are in Santa Monica, not LA. At the time, Santa Monica had a population of around 88,000. While the article was printed in the LA Times, there wouldn't be a lot of famous, professional chefs, working/living in Santa Monica named David Miller.

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: In the very first episode, there is a silver light fixture hanging from the ceiling in front of the kitchen. The light fixture appears and disappears throughout the first season.

Suggested correction: Just because it was never mentioned in the storyline of the show, there is no reason Chloe couldn't have a baby at home thus causing the lactating.

Sorry, but the wording in this correction is confusing. Agreed, there was no mention in the show of Chloe having any baby at home. So very well, she may have been lactating, which explains the sudden water spots as mentioned.

Jack Tripper: And speaking of current events, did you read the big news in the paper this morning?
Chrissy: The May Company is having a huge sale on pantyhose.
Jack Tripper: Excuse me, Chrissy, that's not exactly a current event.
Chrissy: It is so, it's going on right now.

Mate for Each Other - S6-E26

Trivia: In the episode where Janet asks Jack if she's a bad kisser, take a look at Janet when he kisses her. Jack unexpectedly slip Janet his tongue (which surprises the audience as well) and that throws Janet off and shocks her. Her surprised face is not acting, and was really surprised he did that. You'll also notice that when they part, she can't keep a straight face.

Suggested correction: This does not happen, their kiss is closed and for 2 seconds and Janet doesn't ask about her kissing. She says before the kiss when they have few mishaps trying to kiss before the final kiss that no-one has ever picked her kissing before and his response was, "Just shut up and kiss me!" She responds, "Okay fine!" Then they kiss, mouth closed just lips.

Show generally

Question: In the second episode Chrissy's mother comes to visit. In future episodes her father comes to visit - who is an actual "father" (i.e. priest). Aren't priests forbidden to be married?

Answer: He's not a Catholic priest. He's a pastor, with the title Reverend, at a community church who chooses to wear a clerical collar. Some people still address pastors as "Father" though. I'm not sure of his religious denomination, but most pastors can marry.

Bishop73

Answer: Yes Pastors can marry... I was asking for Priests since his collar appears to be that of a Catholic descent.

ckbyers

Some protestant pastors wear the clerical collar as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_collar.
