Not in My Back Hoe - S4-E8

Corrected entry: Hank finds Dale and Bill in the hole and as he's rescuing them Hank says, "Well you haven't moved in about 50 hours?" Hank found out they were missing when the guy who rented the backhoe comes looking for it and Hank is surprised to find they have gone missing. Seems a bit odd no one noticed them missing or decided to report it over 2 days. Whilst Bill lives alone and maybe no one would have noticed, Dale's wife (Nancy) and son would have noticed after that length of time. Despite Nancy still having an affair with Redcorn, there is too much evidence throughout the show's history that show both she and Joseph were constantly concerned when anything happened to Dale.

Lummie

Correction: As seen in other episodes, Dale does go on adventures and trips without always bothering to inform Nancy first. She may be getting concerned after fifty hours, but not enough to panic yet, knowing Dale as she does. Also, just because we don't see something happening, does not mean that it never did. She or Joseph could have expressed mild concern at any time without it being shown.

Hank's Back - S8-E20

Corrected entry: Buck Strickland and Hank discuss how Hank has never missed a day of work except when Bobby was born (and Hank pretended to be sick that day). But Hank skipped work in the episode "The Buck Stops Here" (season five), when he searched for Buck and Bobby in Hot Springs.

Correction: Since Hank rescued Buck and Bobby from the jam he'd gotten them into in that episode, and often has to go above and beyond his job description for him, Buck probably counts that as working for him.

Dale to the Chief - S9-E5

Corrected entry: At the end of the episode we see Hank at the motor vehicle office alone which means he drove himself there. Dale later comes in and helps to get Hank's license changed back to male. Afterwards Hank gets into Dale's van and puts on his seat belt implying Dale is driving him home. Hank should have gotten into his own truck.

DrLoomis1978

Correction: Or he could have taken a bus, or a taxi, or had someone else drop him off, or even walked there.

LorgSkyegon

Correction: This is one of those mistakes that is due to watching the episodes out of order. This episode (production code 4ABE09) was produced before "Hillennium" (production code 4ABE10).

Bishop73

Correction: So they changed the hours between the episodes. Mr. Strickland is the kind of guy who'd arbitrarily decide one day that 8:00 is too early to start work.

In addition to this, it's also possible that the business opens at 8:00, but Hank does not always arrive until 9:00. I've worked at places where "key-holder" employees would perform some opening or closing duties.

Trivia: One of the show's creators made a cartoon about a retarded pig. Boomhauer's voice is based on the voice of an angry viewer who called when he was offended by the cartoon.

Suggested correction: The person was actually complaining about "Beavis and Butthead." For some reason, they called the show "Porky's Butthole."

Correction: There's nothing I saw that indicated she was surprised Cotton lost his shins, or that she didn't know that. She's upset because she thinks all the stories Cotton told her were lies, and when Hank says "that fraud used to be 6'4"", her response was "so", as in what's your point. And the point of Hank's story wasn't Cotton lost his shins, but that he was walking again after 18 months. If anything, that's what Peggy was surprised at, or that Hank thinks his dad was heroic.

Bishop73

Correction: The opening theme isn't a continuous shot, it's a montage that take place over the course of the day. The 4 are just shown to be constantly drinking, but not from the same can, and at some point during the day they throw the empty cans away and get a new one. If you pause it before Peggy shows up, you'll see all 4 of the guys have no beer cans in their hand before Peggy hands Hank the trash. But again, as a montage it's only meant to show they had finished their beers and before they could get new ones, Peggy comes out.

Season 5 generally

Corrected entry: In seasons 1-4 the Texas-shaped clock in the Hills' kitchen is silver, or gray, seemingly metal. In season 5 and all episodes after, it is just a blank Texas-shaped piece of wood with the wood grain visible, no hands or markings.

Correction: So they replaced the clock with something else.

Suggested correction: Bobby has generally earned his parents' trust. He might get into trouble occasionally, as many pre-teen boys do, but not so much that Hank and Peggy need to cover all the bases. They believe that he stopped going to the deli. As Peggy tells Connie, "He is doing everything he can to get back on his feet in time for that dance."

Lucky See, Monkey Do - S13-E8

Character mistake: When Peggy is meeting Lucky's sister at Luanne's baby shower, she mentions that she lives across the street. However, the baby shower is taking place at Peggy's house, as evidenced by the layout of the house and the wallpaper.

Suggested correction: Peggy does live right across the street from Luanne, which is what she is saying. Myrna knows she was at Peggy's house. Since Myrna never met Luanne, she might not know where Luanne and Lucky live.

The Company Man - S2-E9

Corrected entry: Hank asks Peggy if she has her bridesmaid's dress from "one of Luanne's mama's weddings." In the episode "Leanne's Saga", Luanne's mother is just now getting out of jail for attacking Luanne's father, while they were married. She could not have left jail and had any other weddings.

Correction: We don't know if or how many times Leanne was married before she met Peggy's brother. It would be a safe bet to say she's gotten married more than once.

Captain Defenestrator

Why would Peggy be attending any of Leanne's weddings before Leanne met Peggy's brother? Leanne doesn't seem like the type of person Peggy would be friends with.

I don't have the ability to go back and re-watch the episode currently, so don't recall if Leanne is from Texas too or Montana like Peggy. If they went back as far as Montana, it might've been a case of being a small-enough town that she didn't have a lot of choices in friends. If after, they could've met young enough for Leanne to have had a couple weddings before setting her eye on Peggy's brother. Peggy's a bold, friendly person by nature; she probably has a number of friends whom you wouldn't expect. After all, she considers Minh one.

Captain Defenestrator

Leanne was married to Peggy's brother. Peggy probably feels enough family connection left that she lets herself get dragged to Leanne's weddings.

Bobby Goes Nuts - S6-E1

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the episode, Khan makes Connie's friends sign a contract when they come over for Connie's sleepover. Despite being an intelligent man he should know that even if a child signs a contract, it is null and void unless the child is with a parent or legal guardian. Khan might be rash and strict but with how seriously he takes these contracts it seems doubtful he would forgot something as important as a minor needing an guardian to sign an contract. Evidence of how serious he was about the contract that a little later in the episode, he even takes away the girls pillows when they are fighting in order to avoid anyone getting hurt. Then after this one of the girls makes a comment how Connie's dad made her pay for breakfast.

Lummie

Correction: You have completely missed the point of the situation. Khan is a control freak and he is always pressuring Connie to become a success i.e. "Bluegrass is Always Greener on the Other Side". He comes up with the idea of a special contract, which is only valid in his house and does not apply in any legal system whatsoever, as a means of preventing the other girls from making his daughter a stupid party girl.

Correction: Khan thinks he's smarter than everyone else in town. And considering that it's Arlen, he's usually right. He thinks they're dumb hicks who would never think to talk to a real lawyer about it and find out he can't do that.

Be True to Your Fool - S7-E19

Deliberate mistake: Hank only discovers the tattoo on the back of his head after having his hair shaved off. There is no way, however, he wouldn't have noticed it before this. The tattoo artist had to shave hair off the back of his head before putting on the tattoo. While he might have not realised right away, the pain the following day and the fact that he would have noticed a large part of his hair missing would make it unavoidable.

Answer: If you are talking about the "Thou shalt not do this, thou shalt not do that" song, I'm not sure if a song like that actually exists. Green Day, the guest voices on the episode, might have just been improvising to keep their appearance from being too obvious.
