The Toaster - S3-E12
Visible crew/equipment: Throughout the episode lighting reflections can be seen in The Toaster, which is most noticeable in the opening and when they are at Bloomingdales.
Continuity mistake: When Ray is yelling at the kids for throwing his golf clubs down the stairs, two stuffed animals fall down from the shelf. After Ray is done lecturing the kids, you can see the animals are back on the shelf when it shows Raymond talking to Debra.
Continuity mistake: During the scene with Ray and Frank playing Ping Pong, in shots showing Frank's face, his hair is pointing out, but shots from behind him show his hair is back down.
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Ray and Frank are playing Ping Pong, you can see that the balls are on the floor, but in a few shots, they're not.
Other mistake: Early in the episode, Frank turns on the heater and the family discover a bottle top in one of the vents Ray has thrown from a party he held 20 years ago. This couldn't have been the 1st time the heater had been used in that amount of time. (00:03:00)
Other mistake: Marie and Ray's stateroom has a porthole in the back wall, but the hallway outside runs perpendicular to the wall with the porthole in it. This would only be possible if their stateroom was hanging off the side of the ship.
Revealing mistake: During the scene when Ray is by himself in bed, he hears a noise in the hall. He goes to see what's there, and just as he is about to go back to bed he turns the hall light off. The light goes off before he puts the switch down.
The Getaway - S3-E21
Factual error: When they are in the bathroom in the bed and breakfast in Vermont, Debrah is complaining that she thinks she's boring and Ray answers that he ran out of things to say on the George Washington Bridge. You wouldn't take the George Washington Bridge from Long Island to Vermont.
Revealing mistake: After the "roll your eyes" scene in the bedroom, Ray walks in the house and says "Hey Hakapoo." If you look in the opened door, you can see Peter Boyle's shoulder and half of his face outside the door. He was waiting for his cue.
Factual error: Robert's voyeuristic neighbors are using the same elevator as Robert does and tease him about seeing him and Amy through his bedroom window. But if they were able to see into his bedroom, they would not be using that elevator; it would be in another building. From the outside shot of his apartment building, it would be impossible to look into his bedroom.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when everyone is arguing in the kitchen, the potholders next to the lasagna on the table keep changing position between shots.
Other mistake: When Amy runs out of the basement wearing Robert's pants, the pants are at full length, with the belt under her arms and the bottom of the pant legs at her ankles. When she is standing next to Robert, though, it is clear that he would have to pull the pants all the way up to his ribs for the legs to be the right length on him. Also, the pants are unzipped and the zipper pull is hanging just below Amy's breasts. Since a pants zipper is usually just an inch or so above the crotch, Amy would not be able to pull the pants that high unless there was a 12" drop between the zipper and the crotch of the pants.
The Sister - S4-E6
Continuity mistake: Marie comes over with a cake shaped like a cross. In almost all the scenes where the family is sitting at the table different pieces of cake are missing. In some of the camera angles there are no pieces of cake cut from the bottom yet when the cake is seen from other angles there are.
Other mistake: When Ray is in the kitchen with Michael at the beginning of the episode, helping him cut paper, look closely at the little actor playing Michael. There is a brief moment where he looks directly at the camera.
Other mistake: When Ally comes Home from School, and opens the door, there is brown carpet outside where grass should be.
Other mistake: In the beginning of the episode the kids are playing a Nintendo 64 game. Debra comes down and turns it off by pressing a button on the controller. The only off button for a Nintendo 64 is on the console, which was on the coffee table.
Plot hole: The bedroom scene finds Robert sitting up in bed after getting home from the hospital with his upper thigh injury. If he really had a wound in that spot, there's no way he could sit like that.
The Tenth Anniversary - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: In this episode, it is snowing outside but in "The Wedding Pt1" the date that they book for the reception is on the 17th of June.
Continuity mistake: Amy's brother was called Russel. In later episodes he is called Peter.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene where the three Barone kids are singing along to the Hackidu song with Robert on the couch, the scene opens with a picture of the house from the outside, and it is light and not raining at all. Then, when Ray comes in minutes later, it is suddenly dark and pouring rain.
Chosen answer: A Canapé is a cracker or a small, thin piece of bread or toast spread with cheese, meat, or relish and served as an appetizer.
