Family Matters

Bowl Me Over - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: When the family arrives home from the bowling alley, it is dark and pouring rain. After the kids go to bed, Carl and Harriet go to the kitchen and talk. If you look out the windows, it's daylight.

Suggested correction: It's not daylight when looking out the windows while Carl and Harriet go to the kitchen to talk. There is low lighting to convey street lights at night. The same lighting can be seen later on in better view when the Winslows open the backdoor as they return from their second bowling outing.

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.

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.
