Blanche Delivers - S6-E1

Corrected entry: When the women are talking about Becky's visit, Sophia refers to Dorothy as "The president of knocked up and single." Other episodes established that Dorothy became pregnant when dating her ex-husband, Stan, in high school. She had all of her children with Stan, so she has never been a single pregnant woman.

Correction: Technically if you're not married, legally, you're single. She hadn't been dating Stan, just slept with him. In all the discussions about what happened, before her marrying Stan, she stated she went with him on a date, not that they were officially dating.

Yes, according to the episode "What a Difference a Date Makes" (Season Six), Dorothy agreed to a drive-in movie with Stan because she was upset after her date for the senior prom never came to her house (she was unaware that he did come, but Sophia thought he was not good enough for Dorothy and told him to leave). She and Stan were not a "serious" or "steady" couple at school, apparently.

Wham, Bam, Thank You, Mammy - S6-E5

Corrected entry: Blanche's nanny remembers seeing Blanche in a white dress at her wedding. But in a different episode, Blanche celebrates her anniversary by trying on her RED wedding dress. She explains that even she couldn't keep a straight face in a white dress.

Correction: Mammy's exact words are "Did you or did you not wear your first formal white dress with pink flowers to your junior prom". She was not talking about Blanche's wedding.

Correction: Whether it's officially legal or not, a couple can still organize a ceremony and treat it as a wedding. The brother and his boyfriend would consider themselves married.

High Anxiety - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: In this episode Rose says her cat Fluffy died (as a lie) and Dorothy says "Rose, you've never had a cat, you're allergic." When Blanche and Rose first meet she is holding a cat named Mr. Peepers, and looking for a place she and the cat can live. Another episode she says she had a cat named Lindstrom Lindstrom.

Suggested correction: After first meeting Blanche at the supermarket, Rose gave Mr. Peepers to a boy there. Dorothy could actually mean that Rose has never owned a cat for as long as Dorothy has known her. Regarding the allergies, people can be allergic to some cats, but not others. Or they will choose to live with a cat despite the allergies.

In another episode, Rose mentions her dog Rusty saved the family cat from a fire so she definitely lived with a cat for longer.

Trivia: Although she appeared to be an 80 year old on the show, the late Estelle Getty (born 7/25/23) was younger than her costars Betty White (born 1/17/22) and Bea Arthur (born 5/14/22); and Rue was the youngest of the four (2/21/34). Estelle at first was turned down for the role of Sophia (because she was too young). It was only after she came back dressed in a gray wig, thrift store dress, and heavily made-up, that she got the part.
