Season: Whole show  1  2  3  4  5  6  All

Across whole show

The gang lives near the school..we know this because most of the time they walk back home from school. So WHY do they sometimes walk, sometimes bike, sometimes arrive by bus, sometimes by car?? A bus would not need to pick them up from their houses when they are within walking distance. [An elementary school bus will often pick up students within walking distance, in fact it can even pick a student up from across the street from the school in order to insure the student's safe arrival.]
Edit
The length of recess varies across the show, and it also varies when they take recess. For example, in "The New Kid" recess is 40 minutes long, taken at 10 am. But sometimes they take recess near the end of school. And in "The Break In", Mrs. Finster makes a show of TJ at lunch, and he is still punished that day, meaning recess is after lunch. Like I said, it varies a lot. [When I was in elementary school we had a recess after every single subject. That meant about five recesses a day (if you include the lunch recess.) I never noticed any of the recesses in the being up to 40 minutes long though so I can't explain the time problem.]
Edit
Throughout the series, the characters leave school in the middle of the day to go to stores, such as the Diggers in "The Game" and Randall in "Prince Randall." What kind of school lets kids do that? [The students left at lunch. Some schools still let students out for lunch so if they want to go out are allowed. Also, when the diggers left they said "Let's go after school" to buy the tiles.]
Edit
In the episode "The Challenge" when Gretchen is finding information on the first baseman, it shows her picture and says that her name is Tracy Logan, which is a girl's name. But, in the episode "The Trail", she screams out "Let's give Spinelli the swirley" in a man's voice. The character's looks can be anyone, male or female. [Tracy is a unisex name, not just a girl's name. Example: New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter.]

Jinxed (series 1)

When Gus is sentenced to "The Wheel," his hands are chained down to the contraption he's on. When Mrs. Finster comes by, she seems to have no trouble at all ripping the chains off the pole. [It's often shown that Finster is strong and Gus is weak.]

The Great Can Drive (series 1)

At the end, when the can pyramid is knocked down, I personally think that it's illogical that one can tapping another one could knock down the whole pyramid, let alone for that matter even make the top can only fall off, when the can hit at the very bottom. [And i don't think the kids would go mad from being kept inside when it is raining (another episode). It's a cartoon so they will exaggerate.]
Edit

Teachers Lounge (series 1)

In this episode, everyone pronounces Mrs. Grotke with an a sound (like gra), but in every other episode, they pronounce it as "Gr-oh-tkee" [Maybe she told them afterwards (not in the cartoon) that you don't pronounce it like that. You don't see every sinlge second of every single day.]
Edit
In Spinelli's idea of what the teacher's lounge is going to be like, one of the teachers is on the running machine and he says he is going to run for another 20 minutes, or so, then get back to class. About 30 seconds later he is suddenly playing basketball with Miss Finster. [That whole thing with the gym is Spinelli's fantasy, so she probably isn't paying enough attention to realise that the teacher is in two places at once.]
Edit

The Trial (series 1)

When Randall throws the rock, he says that he threw it straight in the air, but when you actually see him throwing the rock, he throws it straight ahead. [The fact that Randall is mistaken about how he threw the rock in the air constitutes a character mistake, not the show's mistake.]
Edit Corrected by lmao

I Will Kick No More Forever (series 1)

Near the end, when TJ convinces Vince to kick again, he said the team needed help. Then TJ is the one that pitches the ball. If his team needed help, he wouldn't be throwing, someone on the other team would be. [He was probably just saying that to get Vince to come back and kick again. At that point, he would have said just about anything.]

The New Kid (series 1)

When Gus steps on the bus, he is pointed to the back seat, which has a "New Kid" sign over it. The back seat cover the whole back of the bus, whereas in the middle, there should be an emergency exit door. [I don't really think that the kids watching this are going to be worried because there is no emergency escape, and besides, its a CARTOON.]
Edit
Near the beginning, the kid in the tan jacket says, "6th graders." Later in the episode, when Gus makes his stand to King Bob, the same kid says the same thing. It's the same shot, as you can tell by his mouth movements. [So? Maybe he always says it like that. This isn't a mistake.]
Edit
The back seat of the bus should not be reserved for the most shunned kid at school. The back seat is the most coveted bus seat there is. [It really depends on the school. At mine, no one likes sitting in the back.]

Economics of Recess (series 2)

In this episode, kids buy things, such as drinks of water, for a certain number of Monstickers. For instance, you have to pay 2 stickers to enter the door. It costs 3 stickers to play on Old Rusty. At these "outrageous rates," kids should burn through at least a pack and a half in a week. At this rate, I would think the parents would get suspicious that they "put so many stickers on their notebooks," and tell them not to go through them so fast, or stop buying them altogether. While it could be argued that the kids have their own money, it makes no sense because they wouldn't have as much money left and would have to ask for more. [Yeah, however, the kids were finding ways to get stickers, such as guarding the swing set until someone came. The stickers were really just someone else's.]
Edit

Wild Child (series 2)

When TJ says, "Hang on kid, I think this fountain might be a trap.", there's a security 6th grader in front of the fountain, leaning up against it. But when Randall runs by and says "Hey, let me play or I'll make up something to tell Mrs. Finster on you.", the 6th grader has moved way to the left of the fountain. [He was never leaning against the fountain. It just looked like he was from where TJ was.]
Edit

Operation Field Trip (series 2)

We can see that the kids were on the bus for a very, very long time.When the bus breaks down, Gus shout something that says that there gonna lose half of the time, 20 minutes. What kind of field trip is only 40 minutes when they need to travel ridiculously long? [Maybe Gus got it wrong. He isn't perfect.]
Edit

The Shiner (series 3)

In this episode, the kid with shoulder length black hair and a red shirt talks and acts as a girl. But in every other episode the kid has been in, this person has talked and acted like a boy. [He could have been acting like a girl for a dare.]
Edit

Kindergarten Derby (series 3)

Mikey says he was the only kid in 3rd Street history to not finish the derby. But 10 or so kids stopped in the Valley of Distraction. And all the trainers knew how bad that was, so more kids in history than just Mikey had to have not finished the race. [The trainers were most likely able to get their kids to move on after a minute or so in the Valley. They thought it was bad because they wanted their kid to win and stopping in the Valley would get rid of this chance.]

A Career to Remember (series 3)

The bench that Spinelli and the inventor of Gumoflex shoes sit on has an ad for Gumoflex shoes. [Thats not really trivia, you can see it easily.]
Edit

The Fuss over Finster (series 4)

When TJ is giving the speech and the crowd can be seen, behind Lawson you can see Stinky Peterson. But in the episode where Gretchen nearly goes to Ophenheimer, Prickly says Stinky went to Ophenheimer too. [In almost any episode when the gang talk about something bad happening to someone, they talk about Stinky Peterson. If this were realistic he would have changed schools, died etc dozens of times. It's just sort of a running joke, that bad stuff always happens to him.]
