Denise Kendall: Babysitter - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bob gives Elvin the apple cider and another jar, when you first see the two jars, the jar in his left hand has a few inches of foam on the top. Bob sets the jars on the table, and the foam is gone. When the shot returns to the table the foam is back again.

Cliff's Wet Adventure - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: When Cliff returns from the store for about the fourth time and the eggs and tomatoes fall out of wet bag onto the floor why aren't the eggs in a carton? The bottom of the bag drops out, so the carton can't be in the bag.

Live and Learn - S6-E25

Other mistake: When Denise and Rebecca are in the kitchen, Denise is playing a tape recording of the rap session from Uncle Wilton when they were doing the math rap. However, when Denise was attending the class, she never had a tape recorder, so there is no way she could have recorded anything.

Period of Adjustment - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: When Pam is in the office talking to Cliff and he tells her about the curfew time, she has a pencil in her hand and a pad in her lap. In the next shot, Cliff offers her a pencil and tells her to take the pad (which is on his desk).

You Can Go Home Again - S7-E10

Other mistake: When Denise hangs up the phone after inquiring about the two bedroom apartment, actress Lisa Bonet's multiple tattoos are visible on the back of her neck and shoulder. In every other scene her tattoos are obscured with makeup as they wouldn't fit with Denise.
