The Magnificent Six - S11-E4

Visible crew/equipment: At the end, Sam gives up trying to get the phone number of the woman at the table. As Sam walks back to the bar, Cheers director James Burrows can be seen directing an off-screen camera. He is the bearded man wearing the green shirt.

Ill-Gotten Gaines - S11-E8

Character mistake: Cliff tests Norm's memory by asking him who the bad guy in 'Herbie The Love Bug' was (presumably meaning the first movie, which was just 'The Love Bug, ' no Herbie in the title, and not the TV series that actually had the 'Herbie, the Love Bug' title). Norm answers Keenan Wynn, and is told by Cliff that is correct and that his memory is OK. Wynn was the antagonist in the second movie, 'Herbie Rides Again' (reprising his role from the 'Absent-Minded Professor'). The bad guy in 'The Love Bug' was played by David Tomlinson of 'Mary Poppins' fame.

One for the Road (1) - S11-E26

Visible crew/equipment: When Rebecca leaves Don at the table to relax while she gets champagne to "celebrate the answer", it cuts to an overhead shot as we hear the TV host introduce Salman Rushdie and Dr. Ruth, and the set lighting can be seen as well as the boom and mic moving around at the top of the screen. A few minutes later the mic can be seen bobbing again in the overhead shot from the same angle. (00:03:20 - 00:08:20)

One for the Road (1) - S11-E26

Continuity mistake: After Don leaves the bar, a few minutes later Frasier shouts at him, "Run, Don! Run like the wind!" and Rebecca is left sitting alone at the table crying, but when it cuts to the overhead shot of the bar we see Don is still sitting at the table, even though he left five minutes earlier. (00:07:05 - 00:08:15)

Super Grover

One for the Road (2) - S11-E27

Audio problem: While Sam and Dianne are at Melville's after both of their lies have been revealed, when Dianne tells Sam that she came back on a quest for the truth, we hear Sam respond, "And you just brought along your one-man Warren Commission there," but his mouth is saying something entirely different. (00:12:15)

Super Grover

Woody: What's shakin', Mr. Peterson?
Norm: All four cheeks and a couple of chins.

One for the Road (1) - S11-E26

Question: Is it true they wanted to get Glenn Close to make a cameo as Vera Peterson in the last episode? I swear I saw photos in an entertainment mag of her filming a scene for the final episode, with the joke being Norm's long-insulted wife was actually very beautiful and classy.
