Family Matters

Brain over Brawn - S3-E2

Other mistake: In this episode, they have a leak in the roof. Yet, the house is a two story house with an attic. So it should not be able to leak into the living room. Also, when Carl and Eddie go up to fix the roof, Eddie falls through the roof and ends up on the living room couch. Again, two story house with attic. Should not happen.

Life of the Party - S2-E18

Other mistake: Even though this is the first time that the kids are being introduced to the "Urkel Dance," Maxine is mouthing the words to the song as she dances.

Dream Date - S7-E22

Other mistake: Steve and Laura kiss at the prom, and the moment is never mentioned again. In fact, during the Season Nine episode "Drinking and Jiving", Steve is surprised when Laura kisses him passionately, while she is drunk. He is surprised enough to mention it the following morning and offer to start a relationship (then Laura pretends that she doesn't remember).

My Broken-Hearted Valentine - S3-E18

Other mistake: When Steve is wearing his Cupid costume and waiting for Laura in the Winslows' living room, the doorbell rings. He is obviously excited and ready to pose before seeing Daniel there. This does not make sense because Laura would not ring the doorbell to enter her own home. In fact, she does not ring it when she does arrive shortly after Daniel.

Sink or Swim - S6-E8

Other mistake: When Carl is trying to teach Urkel how to swim in the pool, the pool signs say 4ft and 6ft. But if you notice, when they stand up, the water is only at their wasteline. Obviously, Carl and Urkel are not 8ft tall or anything. So they are not standing in actual 6ft of water.

Ice Station Winslow - S2-E14

Other mistake: When Eddie and Carl are out ice fishing, you can tell the background is just a wall. If you look towards the bottom, you can see the line all the way across that would make it look like a wall of scenery.

The Crash Course - S2-E5

Other mistake: Eddie drives the car through the front door. This shouldn't be possible. Whenever the front of the house is shown, we see that the porch is several feet above the ground and the only way to get to it are steps that aren't wide enough apart for a car to drive between them.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: From the outside of the house, you can see the staircase and door are to the far left of the house. But from inside the house, you have a fireplace and the staircase to the right of the door. So you know it's not the same house they use in the show.

More quotes from Family Matters

Trivia: When this show first went into syndication, a market in New England declined to pick it up, thinking it wouldn't be popular with their demographics. They ended up providing the show for free with the agreement that the market would end up paying for the broadcasting rights if the show reached a certain ratings threshold.
