Double Trouble - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: When Furley enters The Apartment at the start of the party, the outside weather is crystal clear. Less than 2 minutes later, Furley tells "Austin" the fog is very heavy and the airport is closed down. Then upon opening the front door, tons of thick fog is all over outside. While fog can roll in very quickly, how could Furley even bring up the fog in the first place when it was not there at all when he walked in?

Dying to Meet You - S5-E20

Continuity mistake: When Jack is on the phone explaining why he can't go into work again because he's really hiding at home from the bully Max, there is a chair wedged up against the front door. Larry knocks and when Jack is sure it is indeed Larry, he unlocks and opens the door without the chair in the way any more.

A Man About the House - S1-E1

Question: I never understood the meaning of the dialogue in a scene with the Ropers in the first episode. Stanley says to Helen something like "Too bad you're not from India - you'd be sacred there." Helen then comes back by saying "and contented." What did both of these phrases mean?

Answer: Mr. Roper was basically comparing Mrs. Roper to a cow, which is a sacred and highly revered animal among Hindus; Mrs. Roper's retort meant that she wasn't happy with her marriage or current station in life, so she'd be happier as a cow in India.
