Splash (1984)

Plot hole: Why would Madison take a bath in steaming hot water? The ocean water is warm or cold depending on the area of the ocean. So, it makes no sense as to why she does this.

Suggested correction: Not sure I would call this a plot hole. It's more of a question. While she is used to the warm or cold water of the ocean, she may prefer to have the hot water once she realises that it's an option for her.

Step Brothers (2008)

Plot hole: When Brennan and Dale have their sleep walking episode, they are in the kitchen making a lot of noise. Talking loud, breaking dishes etc yet the parents don't hear a thing and don't notice the kitchens a mess until they get up in the morning.

The Razor's Edge - S2-E10

Plot hole: Al comes home from work. He purposely doesn't look in the kitchen, so he can act like he's surprised it isn't Peg that brings him a beer. Steve talks and Al acts surprised that he's there. When you walk in the front door you automatically see the kitchen.

Suggested correction: It's quite possible to do this. My house has a similar layout: front door opens into the living room, and the kitchen is at the back of the living room. I can come inside and walk to the couch without paying attention to the kitchen. Plus, Al is cranky after work - he says "Ah, what a day" - and he is focused on getting to the couch and relaxing.

This is the only episode where Al does this... Just because he knows it's Steve and not Peg. Pretty obvious.

Amy Emerick Tice

Just because something is only shown in one episode, that doesn't mean it has never happened before. And because he said "What a day", it seems that his work day was especially frustrating, busy, etc. It's reasonable that he could focus on getting to the couch, not bothering to look at the kitchen.

Rain Man (1988)

Plot hole: Raymond starts the toaster oven. 30 seconds later it starts smoking enough to set off the alarm. It takes longer than 30 seconds to heat up and there's nothing in it so why is it smoking?

Sixteen Years and What Do You Get - S1-E6

Plot hole: Peg maxes out the credit card buying Al anniversary gifts and hiring a caterer. When Al tries to buy a watch for Peg it's declined. Later on Kelly somehow uses the credit card and is able to buy the expensive picture frame at the same store Al tried to buy the watch.

The Poker Game - S1-E8

Plot hole: Notice when Steve joins the card game. He looks at his cards and says I'm in. The cards are face up on the table! And for some reason the other players have one card facing out where others can see it.

Tooth or Consequences - S4-E4

Plot hole: Al can't eat because his mouth is numb. So they go ahead and eat. Al can eat after the novocaine wears off and Peg can put leftovers in the fridge. They all act like Al can't eat for days and there won't be any food left.

Sons of Anarchy (2008)

Toil and Till - S7-E2

Plot hole: In season 6 episode 13 Jax comes home and finds Tara. He picks her up and holds her. In this episode Gemma is looking at the crime scene pictures that Unser has. They show Tara in her original position on the floor when Jax finds her. Not possible because Jax moved her.

Peggy Turns 300 - S4-E19

Plot hole: In this episode Al is about to break Puggy Weaver's record. Peg decides to bowl and scores a perfect score of 300. Problem is Peg is a horrible bowler, as seen in season 2 episode 9. She never bowls with Al or even enjoys bowling, so this episode really makes no sense.

Suggested correction: This is not a plot hole, but a plot point. Yes, Peg is a horrible bowler, but it's typical Al Bundy luck that his wife would be able to put together a perfect game no matter how unlikely.

ctown28

So this one and only episode she scores a perfect game? Highly unlikely. Oh and she's wearing a long evening dress too which would make it difficult to bowl. So this episode makes no sense.

Amy Emerick Tice

It makes perfect sense. In the world of the show, the universe is out to screw Al over. The worst that can possibly happen to him will happen no matter how unlikely.

It is a comedy, so having all those "strikes" against her, she still managed to bowl a perfect game - leaving Al hopeless and hapless.
