Show generally

Corrected entry: In one episode Steve is trying to glue something to the back of Laura's earring. He drops some glue on her shoulder by mistake. When he goes to wipe it off his hand gets stuck he was using "super glue". If you look closely you can see it's just a bottle of kids school glue.

Correction: It was special glue he made. He didn't make the bottle, he just used an old one.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Where did Richie's mother Rachel go? After Richie gets older, Rachel slowly disappears from the show with no explanation. Richie still lives with Carl and Harriet and never once mentions his mother.

Correction: Not true. There is one episode, a Christmas episode I believe, when Richie says he misses his mother and by the end of the episode, she turns up for a visit.

Carl Missouri

Corrected entry: In the episode where Eddie drives his car through the front door, and ends up in the living room, how is this possible? If you look, the front of the house, there are 10 steps to reach the front door.

Correction: He could have easily driven up those ten steps.

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.

Choir Trouble - S3-E13

Steve Urkel: My dad wanted to know how I could believe in a God I can't see, touch, or analyze. I pointed out to him I also cannot see, touch or analyze an atom, but I believe it exists.

Show generally

Question: In the mistakes section it mentions that Richie's mother, Rachel, and the Winslow's younger daughter, Judy, disappeared without a trace. Was there ever any explanation?

Answer: It is said that as Steve Urkel became a more popular character on the show, Judy became less important to the storylines, plus either her or her parents were demanding more money, causing her to be removed from the show entirely.

Answer: No. Call it "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome". A character is written off the show without any explanation at all.

Answer: She disappeared because Judy and Steve's actors, Jaimee Foxworth and Jaleel White, didn't get along with each other.
