Family Matters

Ice Station Winslow - S2-E14

Revealing mistake: Carl, Eddie, and Steve are out ice fishing. At one point Carl falls through the "ice" and you can clearly see that the "ice" is made of some sort of styrofoam. It looks like the stuff used for packaging. The snow looks just as fake.

Show generally

Revealing mistake: In the episode where Steve is helping Richie with a science project, Steve turns on the tornado machine which malfunctions and causes a very powerful wind to blow through that begins to decimate the kitchen. While this is happening, Richie is forced through a door and out of the kitchen by the wind. When Richie is again, as he is holding onto the doorway, support wires are attached to him lifting him up.

The Looney Bin - S6-E4

Revealing mistake: When Carl, Steve and Mr. Looney first get locked in the bomb shelter and the door slams shut you can see it bounce back slightly. It doesn't stick closed.

In a Jam - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: When Eddie punches Bull in the gut and Bull curls over, you can see the squared edges of the padding the actor is wearing under his shirt to soften the blow.
