Suggested correction: Just because it was never mentioned in the storyline of the show, there is no reason Chloe couldn't have a baby at home thus causing the lactating.

Sorry, but the wording in this correction is confusing. Agreed, there was no mention in the show of Chloe having any baby at home. So very well, she may have been lactating, which explains the sudden water spots as mentioned.

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.

Chrissy's Date - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: After Chrissy purposely spills the wine onto her married date's lap, he raises the glass, and it's cleverly covered in saran wrap, so that the glass pieces don't go flying when she breaks it with hers.

Suggested correction: This is from s02e10, "Stanley Casanova." However, she doesn't say margarita, she says daiquiri, which is what Jack made with tequila. Daiquiris don't contain tequila but typically rum.

Chrissy's Night Out - S2-E9

Character mistake: The undercover cop who first mistook Chrissy for a hooker, first admits he was wrong about the way he judged her. Then upon finding out that Jack lived with her and Janet, he came on to her instantly thinking she's "easy" once again. However, the cop was already informed by Mr. Roper that Jack was gay at this point, so the fact that a "gay" man living with women should not have changed the cop's mind of how to view Chrissy the way he did.

Helen's Job - S2-E13

Visible crew/equipment: Janet stops Helen from leaving, says she can't handle seeing her beat. After Helen's speech about winning the war, as the camera zooms out, a piece of set equipment is briefly visible at the top of the screen. (00:16:55)

Helen's Job - S2-E13

Factual error: After Mr. Roper stirs Jack's batter, Jack pours it into the cake pan and then opens the oven, leaving plenty of batter residue inside the mixing bowl, which a professional chef student would never do.

Jack in the Flower Shop - S2-E19

Revealing mistake: Once Jack arrives home from his first day, Janet follows shortly behind him with her arms full of groceries. She hands the bag to Chrissy but watch at the bottom of the bag - it starts to come apart and Chrissy grabs the bottom of it and holds it together. The end sight gag is that when Jack storms out, and Janet storms off, Chrissy then goes to go to the kitchen, and the groceries fall out of the bag at the bottom - but it's because then she's holding the bag then around the center.

Jack's Navy Pal - S2-E20

Plot hole: How could a blind man (Jim Walsh) just find Jack's apartment like that? Phoning from the Reagle Beagle, Chrissy simply states "you're nearby to us" and then hangs up the phone (without giving the address). Even if he was given the address, being blind he would not be able to find the building, let alone the right unit that quickly, but he knocks on the door within 5 min of the call.

Chrissy, Come Home - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: During the kitchen scene when Janet is eating the egg salad sandwich, her yellow napkin is tucked in her blouse and then disappears. She then tucks another yellow napkin into her blouse.

Jack Tripper: And speaking of current events, did you read the big news in the paper this morning?
Chrissy: The May Company is having a huge sale on pantyhose.
Jack Tripper: Excuse me, Chrissy, that's not exactly a current event.
Chrissy: It is so, it's going on right now.

Show generally

Question: What is the picture of women on the walls of the set? Not the butterfly picture, the others.

Answer: I believe you are referring to the artwork of Alphonse Mucha. On the wall next to the front door was "Feather" (which is one half of "Primrose and Feather"). Above the telephone in early episodes was "Zodiac". Also seen through The Apartment was "Spring" and "Autumn".

Answer: Or, you may be referring to Tranquillo Cremona's High Life (A Piquant Conversation), which hangs above the side table.
