Mistake Visible crew/equipment: On the boat when George Bluth Sr. says something about the SEC if you look in his glasses you can see a camera man in the reflection.

Top Banana

Mistake Continuity: When Lindsay has just returned home and is placing the flowers she has bought into a vase, we see her remove the flowers from the shopping bag and place them on the kitchen worktop. A few shots later, the flowers have moved back into the bag and we see Lindsay remove them again.

Mistake Continuity: When Tobias meets with the school principal, the number of bites taken from the principal's sandwich changes between shots.

Key Decisions

Mistake Continuity: Just after Gob snatches Michael's sandwich away, Michael is left with just a few torn pieces of napkin. Seconds later he has what appears to be a whole napkin in his hand again.

Mistake Continuity: When Michael is sorting through the pile of mail, just before the doorbell rings, we see him place the same green envelope on the table twice.

Mistake Continuity: When Michael and Marta are talking in the doorway at the hospital, the position of Marta's handbag straps changes between shots. Sometimes both straps sit over her shoulder, whilst in other shots one strap is slipping down her arm.

Mistake Continuity: When the two Lucilles are talking at the bar, the position of Lucille Bluth's drink on the bar changes between shots.

Charity Drive

Mistake Continuity: When Gob is visiting his Dad in prison, we see his Dad pick up the coffee cup from the table twice from different camera angles without putting it down in between.

Mistake Continuity: When Gob and Michael are in front of the banana stand, we see George Michael in the background putting a prepared banana on the counter. The shot changes and he has suddenly moved and is still finishing preparing the banana.

Mistake Continuity: When George Michael throws away the banana, the rubbish bin vanishes from the top of the counter instantly, when the camera angle changes.

Mistake Continuity: When Kitty and Michael are talking about the car, Kitty is holding a black folder/clipboard. A second later she is now holding a beige folder in front of it.

Mistake Continuity: In the shots of the newspaper clipping about Tobias, the caption under his photo differs between the close up and the shot of the whole article.

Mistake Continuity: When Lindsay and Michael are talking in the kitchen we see Lindsay start to remove her sunglasses. The shot changes and the sunglasses are now off, but are not in her hand or on the counter.

Visiting Ours
