Scammed - S7-E21

Continuity mistake: During the scenes where they play Mortal Grandma (or whatever it's called), the characters' health bars don't change.

Dream Date - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: Laura says that Steve asked her to be his prom date when they were six years old. In other episodes, she has mentioned that she first met him as a blind date - their date in the first season.

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).

Scammed - S7-E21

Continuity mistake: Carl tells the establishment's owner that Eddie and Waldo are under the age of twenty-one. However, in the episode "Best Years of Our Lives" (also Season 7), Waldo tells Maxine that he worked on a parade float every year in high school, which makes seven floats. If he failed three grades and started college in the previous season (with Eddie), he would be at least twenty-one years old by now - probably twenty-two.

Carl: Go home! Go home! Go home!
Steve: I don't have to take this. I'm going home.

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.
