Vint and the Kids Move In - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Vint moves in, he stays in the basement. Mama, Fran, and Buzz all have a "bedroom." Sonya moves into Fran's studio. Then when Naomi thinks she's pregnant, they argue over where Vint and Naomi will move to instead of the basement. Fran says she won't give up her room, Buzz says his room is in the attic. Sonya says her room is microscopic. Thelma has the biggest room. Then on Mama's Birthday, she gets Buzz to help clean out of the attic, which obviously wasn't his room as he stated. Then, of course, after Buzz, Sonya, and Fran are all gone there's only room for Thelma and Bubba upstairs.

Now Hear This - S6-E4

Plot hole: Vinton demonstrates the intercom with the instruction to push a button to talk but throughout the episode, they listen in on each other. This would not be possible if the person (s) being listening on is not holding the button to activate the mike.

Birthright - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: In this episode Vint says he was born on April 23. But in the lottery episode when Mama picks numbers with Iola she says Vint was born in March.

Child's Play - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Eugene is playing with the ball on a stick it changes from being predominately purple to blue and red just before he pulls the string off. The cup size changes too. (00:11:05)

April Fools - S5-E18

Plot hole: As Mama tells Iola about the April Fools' jokes the family has played on her over the years, Iola expresses surprise. Considering Iola has been Mama's friend for years and is constantly at the Harper house, it seems impossible that Iola had never heard of any of the April Fools' pranks.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: A similar mistake like this was already corrected. The episodes were aired out of order, so there is no continuity mistake on part of the show. "Alien Marriage" was the 2nd episode produced. The show started with the 4th episode produced and season 1 ends with the 1st episode produced. Many refer to these types of episodes as flashback episodes.

Gift Horse - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: After Iola gives Mama the tissue box, Mama goes inside and drops the tissue box and the tissue paper on the coffee table. The positions of both these things (and another knick-knack that was already on the table) change between shots.

Grandma USA - S3-E12

Plot hole: Thelma never mentions the song name she will sing at the pageant, as she had no idea she needed a talent, thus she couldn't tell them ahead of time, but they still start to play the right one for her.

A Big Hand for Mama - S4-E6

Revealing mistake: When Naomi's dress gets caught, it's making a noise as though the machine is eating the dress but the dress isn't even moving and the needle isn't moving up or down. (00:17:10)

Naomi Oates Harper: Sonja, honey, did your mama ever talk to you about boys?
Sonja Harper: Well, she told me never to marry a locksmith.
