Trivia
During Hanks's conversation with Bobby when he tells him that he will have to marry Luanne, look at the shelf behind Bobby. There is a Bart Simpson doll there. A few years before this was featured the Hill family was in the crowd at one of the pee wee football games in the Simpsons episode "Bart Star". See more...

Continuity: After taking some propane tanks from work, Hank comes home and starts telling Peggy to throw out her old computer. The clock in the background starts off at 10 o'clock. Hank then sees Dale knocking at the door and the time has changed to 1:50. After Dale comes in, it changes again to about 11:35.
Continuity: As Peggy comes to see Bobby about how his essay is going, there is a pad and pen next to him on the bed. The next shot Peggy sits down next to him which was where the pad and pen were on the bed. She then reaches for the pad and pen from behind Bobby. She never makes any movement before or after she sits down so there is no way she put the items would go to being behind Bobby.
Revealing: Whilst Bobby is reversing the truck before hitting the flagpole in Bill's yard we see the driveway in front of the truck. The very next shot shows Peggy from behind the truck instructing him how far to go to the flag pole and you can see they have used the same background as the shot before from the other angle. You can tell this as both shots are the same background as both angles despite from different viewpoints are exactly the same items and objects in both shots. Added to this there is a driveway in each shot, and Bill doesn't have 2 driveways in his backyard.
Continuity: When Bobby & Peggy are about to steal Bill's flag, the truck drives right up against the flagpole. In the next shot Bobby is standing next to the flagpole and there are a few changes. The first is that the truck has a bit of space between the back of it and the pole, whilst the first shot it had no space in between (as it hits the pole). The other change is where the rope is knotted on the pole. In the first shot it was on the opposite side of where Peggy was standing. The next shot she has not moved but the rope is right next to Peggy facing her.
Deliberate "mistake": When Bobby is trying out for the cattle roping at the rodeo, he gets the rope tightly around the calf's neck. As the calf starts to drag Bobby you can see the rope is now very loose around its neck. A little later when the clowns are chasing each other the rope is back tightly around the calf's neck. May be deliberate as it may look like the calf would have been choked with the rope being so tight around its neck.
Audio problem: When Buck is trying to frame Hank for the murder of Debbie, he uses a hidden tape recorder to try and incriminate Hank. However the tape recordings are not the same, as they don't match up with each other. In the scene he says, "Yes I was angry. Debbie threatened to tell my wife that we had sexual relations". Later on the Sheriff is playing the tape back to Hank and the tape says: "(Small Pause) Debbie threatened to tell my wife that we had sexual relations". The tape doesn't match up on a few things. First the second recording takes a quick second before Hank starts talking despite in the first recording he said "Yes, Yes I was angry. Debbie." and no pauses in between these lines. Secondly Buck says at the end of the first recording "I got all I need" immediately after Hank finishes speaking and then he stops recording. In the second recording after Hank finishes speaking the tape keeps playing but we don't hear Buck speak.
Continuity: As Kahn is yelling at Bobby after he sees him kissing Connie over the fence he chases after Bobby and in one of the shots you can see the ladder Bobby used is gone. The following shot it shows Luanne in the bathroom and through the window we see the ladder has reappeared. The other change in the shots is the ladders and their size. Before the shot in the bathroom the ladder's height (Bobby's ladder) was enough it reached over the fence. As we see the ladder through the bathroom it's not even reaching the top of the fence.
Plot hole: As the guys are checking out the vacant house inside, they are surprised to see it has a pool. However the problem with this is its right next to the driveway in the front of the house, in the open with no fence in front of the driveway so it would provide a clear look through from the alley. As they state they never noticed it in 18 years living there, yet walking up and down the alley it's a bit hard to imagine being that open and they never saw it. Even the final shot (aerial shot) at the end of the episode we see it was far too obvious for them to have never seen in that space of time.
Continuity: When Peggy is insulting Bill to try and get him to sell Metalife products again, he has a beer in his left hand. In the next shot when he tries to convince Peggy to give him another chance the beer has disappeared even though he never put the beer down. They were outside on the front lawn so there was not enough time for him to hide it or place it somewhere else on his front lawn.
Continuity: When Peggy tries to sell Dale the Metalife products she is just passing the fence (at the bottom of her driveway). In the following shot we her cart is in the middle of the road. The change of shots there was not enough time for her to have made that distance from the end of the driveway to the middle of the road.
Continuity: Bill picks up the case of Metalife products to put them in his car. After discovering he has a blister he picks up the box and the logo on the box is facing the left-hand side. The next shot it's changed to the front of the box. The change of shots was instant so there was no chance he could have turned the box around.
Continuity: After Bobby takes the first spiritual test, Minh and Kahn come behind Bobby. Looking at Minh's hair and the top of her dress are both very wet. However before this she was completely dry and there was no scene where water was sprayed on her. She stays wet for the rest of the scene probably indicating that there is a scene deleted from the episode as it is far too obvious to be missed.
Deliberate "mistake": Before Bobby takes the final spiritual test, you can see Connie is behind Bobby with her parents. When Bobby starts looking at the objects she has moved over to the right of Bobby nowhere near were her parents were before. This would have been deliberate for when he's taking the test he picks Connie in the mirror and this would have been impossible to do if she was right behind him.
