Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Dale says "I'm not a quitter. Hell, I've been smoking for thirty years." Dale and most of the adults on the show are in their late thirties. He can't have been smoking for that long, unless he started when he was seven or eight. [Like the submitter says, Dale could have started early. I have actually heard of people who started smoking when they were nine, and it is not impossible that Dale started when he was that age. It is also possible that he exaggerated, and had been smoking for, say, 28 years, which would make him approximately 12 when he started.] Corrected by Twotall

In the episode where the family visits Peggy's family's ranch in Montana, Peggy's mother is mad because Peggy didn't stay on the ranch and marry the neighbors' son. However, in an earlier Valentine's Day episode, where Peggy learned that Hank had mono, we saw Peggy and Hank as a couple in high school, with Peggy going to West Arlen High. This means that she was not living in Montana as a young adult (or at an age when her mother thought she would be old enough to marry). [At what age can a mother start fantasizing about her child marrying the neighbor's kid?] Corrected by Rlvlk

In the episode with Santa Ana's wooden leg. After Dale has made Cotton the fake driver's license, he holds it up and you can already see part of the word "Cheerios", showing that Dale used a cereal box to make it. Cotton would obviously notice when he took the license. [Saying what a character would or wouldn't do does not add up to a mistake. Cotton needed a license and while one could argue whether or not he noticed it was made from a cereal box he didn't care either way.] Corrected by Lummie

In the episode where Luanne's mother, Lee Ann, comes back, Hank says that Luanne's father (Peggy's brother) is hiding out on an oil rig in the Gulf Coast. However, in a Thanksgiving episode (the one where everyone is stuck at the airport), it's mentioned that Luanne's father is in Montana. [People do move around. Just because in one episode they said he was somewhere, this does not mean he could not have moved somewhere else at a later date.]

In the season 11 episode "Hank Gets Dusted", Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer talk about the fun they had in Cotton's Cadillac when they were kids. However, in the season 5 episode "When Cottom Comes Marching Home", Lane Pratley comes to take the Cadillac away because Cotton is a few months behind on payments. This means that Cotton couldn't have had the car since Hank and the other guys were kids. Lane Pratley is around Hank's age, so he wouldn't have sold Cotton a car back then. [In the season 3 episode "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men", Lane Pratley stated "I own Pratley Ford, Pratley Honda and I got my eye on Pratley Cadillac- my daddy ain't doin' so good". Presumably the elder Pratley sold Cotton the Cadillac before his son bought his Cadillac dealership.]

Plastic White Female (series 1)

The cosmetology teacher makes marks on Hank's head to show where Luanne cut his hair wrong. She is still holding the blue marker when she walks away. Hank gets up to comfort Luanne, and you can see that he has no marker in his hands. However, when he points out the bumps on his head, he suddenly has a marker and marks them. When the teacher is shown again, she is still holding the blue marker, so she didn't give it to Hank. [There couldn't be another marker lying nearby?] Corrected by Xofer

How to Fire a Rifle Without Really Trying (series 2)

In one episode, Hank says that "the N.R.A. is a Washington D.C. based organisation." The N.R.A. is based in Fairfax, Virginia. [A lot of organizations are considered based in Washington, even though the actual buildings are in surrounding Virginia or Maryland.]

A Fire Fighting We Will Go (series 3)

When Bill is telling his version of what happened at the station, and he mentions Dale switching the names on the oxygen tanks, Dale is shown with dark hair than normal. [The guys’ recount of the events that transpired all seem to vary as it is their recollection and memory. Even if Dale's hair was darker, it was how Bill remembered it not a straight replay of what happened. Throughout the episode the biggest problem with finding out what happened is that they all seem to remember so many details differently.] Corrected by Lummie

Pretty, Pretty Dresses (series 3)

In this episode Hank professes that when he set the Arlen High single season rushing record he needed blockers and Bill Dauterive blocked for him, however in many episodes before and after they proclaim Bill "the bulldozer" Dauterive to be Arlen Highs rushing record. [No Bill was never Arlen's rushing record holder, he held Arlen's single season touchdown record. This was explained in the episode "Bills are made to be Broken" that he held the touchdown record. It was also unlikely he would have held the record in any case, as he was a defensive linesman not a running back like Hank.] Corrected by Lummie

Death of a Propane Salesman (2) (series 3)

Luanne's hair was blown off in the fire, yet she has no burns on her shoulders, around her neck, or anywhere on her arms. [Hair burns at a lot lower temperature than skin, so it is possible the heat blast was enough to singe the hair away but not enough to damage the skin. We also see when Luanne gets away from the mall, Hank used a fire blanket to cover her. So it could be concluded that he was able to cover enough of her not to get burned but couldn't save her hair.]

When Hank and Luanne come out of the store after the explosion, they are right beside each other, yet only Luanne lost her hair. [This was a conclusion of the previous season's cliffhanger. Hank was on the other side of the store when he smelled the propane, and Buckley and Luanne were closer to the blast. He found her after the explosion, thus her hair was burned but his was not.]

It's Not Easy Being Green (series 5)

There is no explanation shown for Bill, Hank, and Dale being able to start Boomhauer's car in the flashback. Boomhauer wouldn't let them drive it, so he obviously didn't give them the keys. [Boomhauer never stated he wouldn't let them drive his car. However even if he had there are a number of explanations of how they could have driven the car. Boomhauer loaned them the car, they were going to take care of it, they took his keys, they made a copy of the key etc.] Corrected by Lummie

The Bluegrass is Always Greener (series 6)

Watch Dale's finger; his keyboard playing does not match the actual bass notes being played. [In the "propaniacs" episode it is shown that he has no idea how to play the keyboard and that he just fakes it and goes with the pre-recordings.]

Lupe's Revenge (series 6)

When Peggy and Lupe return to Mexico and Peggy thinks the crowd of people are cheering her on, she says "Por los niños!", pronouncing the "ñ" correctly. However, in several other episodes of the show, she pronounces the "ñ" in the word "español" incorrectly, like an "n". [It's an ongoing joke in the series. Peggy is a very bad teacher of the Spanish language. She teaches it but can barely speak or understand it.] Corrected by Rlvlk
