Assaulted Nuts - S2-E3

Other mistake: When Doug is drawing a picture to explain to the nurse why he is there, a man purchases a beverage from the "Hot Drinks" machine behind Doug. The drink is ready unrealistically fast and the man immediately takes a sip from an obviously empty cup. Those machines produce notoriously hot beverages, so if the machine actually worked the man would have scalded himself.

G'Night, Stalker - S8-E9

Plot hole: Spence comes in with a pizza and says, "Let's hit this pizza hard and get out of here." But then later we find out there's a laptop in the pizza box. What if the guys actually wanted a slice? Also, after the guys leave for the movies, Carrie or Arthur would've seen the laptop in the pizza box. (00:05:35 - 00:06:55)

Art House - S1-E24

Revealing mistake: Carrie comes into the kitchen, visibly hot and sweaty, and says, "Could it be any hotter?" Doug also has a sweat stain on his back and they stick their heads in the freezer. Suddenly Arthur walks in and says, "Do I have the word pushover on my forehead?" Arthur is wearing a thick shirt tucked into long pants and yet is not sweaty. At his age he would be more visibly drained from the heat than both Carrie and Doug. This happens again later in the episode in the garage.

Suggested correction: And yet in summer, some retirement homes have heating on still as they feel the slightest bit of cold. That could simply be the case here.

Big Dougie - S2-E21

Revealing mistake: When Doug is jogging in the marathon he is casting three shadows in different directions. Also, the female jogger behind him appears to be in good shape but is still jogging as dramatically slow as Doug. (00:19:20)

The Minister

Meet By-Product - S2-E17

Deliberate mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Doug and Carrie are in the shower, you see their silhouettes. The first mistake is that for the silhouettes to show like that they have to be evenly backlit which wouldn't make sense in the shower. The second mistake is a little more subtle; you can see the outline where the actor's bathing suits are (inevitably) slightly larger than the bodies. There is also a slight darkening in the areas where the bathing suits cover skin. (both of these things are much easier to see on Carrie than Doug because of her smoother figure and skin tone).

Thanks Man - S6-E9

Other mistake: When Deacon's youngest son says "is that man going to freeze, daddy" you can see the older son mouthing the lines. (00:06:16)

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know if Carrie and Doug had a baby on the show? And also was it just me, or was Carrie pregnant in real life in one season, and they did not write it into the show, or did she just gain a lot of weight?

Answer: To answer the question directly. Carrie and Doug do not have a biological child during the show's main run. In season 3 or 4 finale (cant remember which) Carrie has a miscarriage. Later on in the show they find out Carrie has 1 working ovary. Thus reducing the chance of them conceiving. By the final season, they couple agree to adopt from China and go to collect their child in the show's final episode. While on the flight back from China it's revealed that Carrie is once again pregnant. However the last scene of the show is a flash forward showing that Carrie goes full term with that child and they are struggling with both kids.

Answer: Leah Remini was not pregnant in real life at the time of the series finale in 2007. Her daughter was born in summer 2004 and it was obvious she gained weight and wore larger clothes during that season. So no, her real pregnancy was not written into the show.

Answer: They did have a baby in the series finale. They actually adopted a baby from China, and then at the same time they found out she was pregnant. She was pregnant in real life, but they just covered her up, as much as they could, during the filming of the show.
