The Not-So-Great Imposter - S5-E9

Plot hole: All these characters (the bookie, policemen, the sister, the husband) were after David Miller and all come to attack Jack in some way (thinking Jack is David Miller). However, a big city like LA most likely has several David Millers so why would they all assume this David Miller is the one they're looking for? So even though Jack's name could have been David Miller, how would everyone think he is the one they're looking for?

Suggested correction: These are questions, not plot holes. First, Jack and the restaurant are in Santa Monica, not LA. At the time, Santa Monica had a population of around 88,000. While the article was printed in the LA Times, there wouldn't be a lot of famous, professional chefs, working/living in Santa Monica named David Miller.

Mistakes

Strange Bedfellows - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Roper tries to explain to the girls and his wife what he was doing in Jack's bedroom, watch over Mr. Roper's left shoulder on the shelf. The number of yellow cans on the shelf keep alternating between one and two cans throughout several minutes. In addition, also notice the suitcase on the floor under the shelf as well. Whenever one yellow can is shown, the suitcase is by itself and whenever two yellow cans are shown, there is a square silver bag in front of the suitcase.

Trivia

An Anniversary Surprise - S3-E20

Trivia: Many TV stations over the years left out the original ending scene (the small party held before the Ropers leave). This scene explains how The New Landlord Mr. Furley knew Jack was supposedly gay in the first episode without anyone mentioning it. This ending reveals Roper told the new owners Jack was gay. Without seeing this ending, the storyline is unclear.
