B & B's B'n B - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: When the bartender fills up the mug of root beer, after the foam settles, the mug is a little more than half full. When Mr. Feeny hands the mug to Eric, it is suddenly filled closer to the top.

B & B's B'n B - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: When the bartender fills up the mug with root beer, the foam has instantly settled when the shot changes.

An Affair to Forget - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Eric is performing his one-man show, he states in the intro that he was born on June 24, 1978. However, in the season 1 episode "It's a Wonderful Night," Eric fails his test to get his driver's license. That episode takes place during the middle of the school year, but if Eric was born in late June, he would have had to wait until after, or at the least the very end of the school year to try and get his license, as the minimum age in Pennsylvania for obtaining a driver's license is sixteen.

Sixteen Candles and Four-Hundred-Pound Men - S4-E9

Factual error: The match between Vader and Jake the Snake is supposed to be taking place in Philadelphia, presumably the Spectrum, but the establishing shot of the building is actually the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California.

Dangerous Secret - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Topanga walks away upset from Cory, she closes her locker in such away that the bottom half of it is not flush with the frame. Moments later when Cory and Shawn are talking, the locker is fully closed.

Dangerous Secret - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Feeny hands Cory the CD, Cory holds it between both hands. When the shot changes, he is holding it with only his right hand, while his left arm appears to be folded around his abdomen.

Dangerous Secret - S4-E8

Other mistake: When Cory throws the CD out of his bedroom window, if you listen closely, you can hear the CD land in a soft terrain. However, the next day at school, Mr. Feeny pulls the CD out of his suit pocket and says that it sailed through his living room window and landed on his walnut credenza. If the CD managed to make all the way into Feeny's house, then the sound of it landing would not be audible.

Janitor Dad - S4-E6

Deliberate mistake: Chet comes home from his first day as school janitor brandishing a paycheck, which impresses his wife and in turn changes Shawn's mind about Chet working at the school. Being that it was Chet's first day on the job, there's no way he would already have received a paycheck. Even if it was payday, his employment would have begun on the first day of the next pay period.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The age gap between Eric and Cory decreases as the series progresses. At the start of the show, Cory is in 6th grade and Eric is a high school sophomore, meaning they are four years apart, give or take a few months. By season 3, Cory is in 9th grade (confirmed by dialogue mentioning that Shawn, who is in the same grade as Cory, is 15 years old), and Eric is a senior, leading to an age gap of three years. The first episode of season 4 takes place a couple months after the end of season 3, with Eric and Cory returning from a summer Road Trip, but just two episodes later, Cory mentions that he is in 11th grade, while Eric is still barely out of high school, leading to an age gap of two years.

Fishing for Virna - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: When Virna is standing in the doorway of the trailer, her left arm is touching the curtains near the door. When the shot changes, her arm is instantly down at her side.

I Ain't Gonna Spray Lettuce No More - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of this episode, Cory asks Alan for money for his class photo. When Alan asks what grade Cory is in now, Cory says 11th. However, at the end of the previous season, Cory had just finished 9th grade (he and Shawn are both 15) and he spent his summer traveling the country with Eric. He should be in 10th grade, not 11th. This is further complicated later in the season, when he turns 16 and gets his driver's license. If he was in 11th grade, he would have already turned 16 and gone through driver's ed.

You Can Go Home Again - S4-E1

Factual error: In this episode, Eric and Cory stop in Pottstown, Pennsylvania on their way back to Philadelphia. Cory protests, reasoning that stopping there is pointless because they are only three hours from home. Pottstown is roughly 40 miles from Philadelphia. It certainly wouldn't take three hours to get to one location from the other under normal driving conditions.

Hair Today, Goon Tomorrow - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Dylan is asking Topanga out, his locks of hair alternate between being by his face and behind his ear.

Phaneron ★

Truth and Consequences - S3-E7

Stupidity: This episode shows the school's faculty time-clock to be in a common area of the school. Placing a time-clock in such an area would be extremely foolish, as any disgruntled or prankster student could easily mess with a faculty member's timecard. Not to mention the episode shows Janitor Bud bribing a student to clock him out long after he has left for the day.

Phaneron ★

City Slackers - S3-E11

Other mistake: When Eric asks Mr. Williams why everyone is applauding Frankie missing a shot in their game of pool, Mr. Williams notes it's because no-one has ever seen two people play for three hours without sinking a shot. However, if you rewatch a couple of times the part where Frankie takes his shot and you count the balls on the table, there are only 14, not including the cue ball, when there should be fifteen. If by chance a ball was knocked off the table, then given how much the crowd was into the game, someone would have told them they needed to place the ball back on the table.

I Was a Teenage Spy - S3-E19

Revealing mistake: When Topanga emerges from the kitchen with more ice for Cory, instead of seeing the kitchen through the open doorway, you can see a wall with framed pictures, suggesting another set was there in place of the kitchen.

Phaneron ★

The Pink Flamingo Kid - S3-E17

Other mistake: When Eddie busts Cory filming him and his cronies, he spends a few moments intimidating Cory before snatching the camera out of his hands and throwing it against the ground. After Shawn breaks up the situation and notes that they broke the camera, Cory remarks that they didn't get the tape and proceeds to pull a tape from under his jacket. Cory's hands are both visible gripping the camera the entire time that Eddie is confronting him, and he didn't have the opportunity to retrieve the tape when Shawn intervened, so he couldn't have had the tape tucked away.

New Friends and Old - S3-E13

Shawn: Cory, are you alone?
Cory: No, I tried to get away on my bike, but Frankie jogged behind me the entire way. I mean, pound for pound, he's the fastest man on Earth.

Phaneron ★

Truth and Consequences - S3-E7

Plot hole: In this episode, it is discovered through a scientific study that Eric does not dream, and in fact doesn't even register brain activity while he is sleeping. However, the season 2 episode "Wrong Side of the Tracks" features a subplot where Eric listens to a motivational tape while he sleeps so he can learn to ice skate, and he dreams of Nancy Kerrigan giving him a lesson.

Phaneron ★

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter - S3-E15

Other mistake: Dana exits Chubbie's and sees Shawn has set up a picnic for her. She remarks that it's the middle of winter and Shawn is shaking from the cold, but her breath is not visible.
