G'Night, Stalker - S8-E9

Revealing mistake: In the kitchen, Deacon asks Doug, "Are we gunna play basketball or what?" while leaning against the counter. In this shot you can see the kitchen wall is on an angle slanting away from the camera. This makes the kitchen look bigger and cuts down on the empty stage space on the wall where the cameras are. (00:07:00)

Deconstructing Carrie - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: In the kitchen when Arthur says he was a terrible father and gets up, Holly looks over at him with her hand on the edge of the table. She says, "Oh no", but then she's smiling. When the shot changes angle, her arms are crossed. Then Holly says, "Better than my dad, who was too busy chasing the almighty bottle of glue", her hand is instantly on the box of photos again. (00:11:35 - 00:12:05)

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)

The Minister

Mama Cast - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: Carrie enters and says "Bad news", to which Doug replies, "Ya, if it's about being out of mini donuts, I'm aware and I'm not happy". However, in S7 E7 "Offtrack...Bedding" at the start of the episode Doug says he doesn't like mini donuts. (00:00:30)

The Minister

Female Problems - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: During the scene when Doug is "out with the boys" driving in Spence's car, you can tell they are actually in a studio using a green-screen because the stage lights reflecting off the car don't move. (00:36:00 - 00:36:35)

The Minister

Female Problems - S2-E2

Other mistake: When Doug and Carrie go to visit the new neighbour, Jessica, Carrie tells her that they live at #8013; however many other episodes we see the numbers 3121 on the Heffernan's door and later learn that the Heffernan's live at 3121 Aberdeen Street in Rego Park. (00:28:35 - 00:29:35)

The Minister

Cheap Saks - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: Near the end of this episode, after Trish Flintoff leaves, Doug is telling Carrie and Holly that she's a nice person. Doug is looking at Carrie, then the shot changes and he is immediately looking down and reaching towards his back pocket. It also looks like he's trying not to laugh. (00:19:35)

The Minister

Taste Buds - S5-E24

Other mistake: When Doug sits down to eat and Arthur touches his food, Doug says, "That's what my sandwich was missing, a finger with a loose bandaid on it," and pushes Arthur's hand away. When he does this you can see Arthur isn't wearing any bandaids on his hands. (00:00:05 - 00:01:00)

Continuity mistake: The Heffernans' house is one of a row of identical brick houses. However from inside the Heffernans' living room, you can see out the side windows that the neighbour's house is beige with horizontal paneling.

Continuity mistake: From outside shots of Coopers, there are no garbage bins or newspaper boxes in front of the pub. From inside shots, several bins can be seen just outside the glass doors.

Window Pain - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Doug and Carrie are arguing outside the neighbour's house, Doug takes a big swig from the Scotch bottle and then puts it on the ground. After the police pull up, the shot cuts back to Doug and Carrie. Doug picks up the bottle from the neighbour's porch railing. (00:42:45)
