Class Pre-Union - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Feeny says "As if you are returning for your 20th high school reunion", there is a red crown on Mr. Feeny's desk with Minkus sitting on a chair at the end. After the camera cuts to a close up of Minkus saying 'More like a pre-union", there is a cut to Mr Feeny who turns to him. Minkus is all of a sudden holding the crown on his lap, then he is seen putting the crown back onto the desk. (00:04:00)

Risky Business - S1-E16

Plot hole: After Shawn leaves Cory's house to get a pizza, he calls Cory on the phone literally a minute later to tell him that Lenny Dykstra is at the pizza place. There's no way Shawn could have left Cory's house, walked to the pizza place, spotted Dykstra and either asked to use the restaurant's phone or found a pay phone to call Cory in such a short amount of time. (00:13:30 - 00:14:45)

The Fugitive - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Cory is getting food for Shawn, he's piling meat loaf onto his plate. There are three pieces, one on top of the other two, then they cut to a wide shot and back to a close up of Cory, and it's just one larger piece.

The Fugitive - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Alan is talking to Cory in his room, telling him that he can always come home, he is pointing his finger at him. He has his right arm rested on his legs and is pointing with the left arm. Just before the shot changes to face Cory, Alan stops pointing. In the next shot, facing Cory, Alan has his left arm resting, and is pointing with his right arm.

It's a Wonderful Night - S1-E18

Other mistake: When Eric is ordered to go to his room he mentions that Feeny used to be his 6th grade teacher. However, later in the series it is emphasized several times that Mr. Feeny was Cory's teacher every grade he was ever in. With Cory only being 3 years younger than Eric, it would not be possible for Feeny to have been Eric's 6th grade teacher as Cory would have been in 3rd grade and had Feeny as a teacher per what is stressed on multiple occasions later in the series.

Me and Mr. Joad - S2-E4

Mr. Feeny: You know, you seem amused by this display of defiance, Mr. Turner.
Mr. Turner: Oh, I am, I gotta say. 'Cause if I had done to me what I did to them, then I'd have done the same thing to me that they did.
Mr. Feeny: Go to the board and diagram that sentence.

Boys II Mensa - S1-E6

Question: When Mr. Feeny is talking to Cory in the cafeteria about his score on the IQ test, Feeny is shown purchasing a coffee from the vending machine. Are there actual elementary schools in the United States with coffee vending machines where prepubescent students have the ability to purchase a beverage more suited for younger adults and older? This isn't the faculty cafeteria mind you, because it's the same cafeteria the students are shown occupying throughout the first season. Seems a little irresponsible on the school's part to give students access to coffee.

Chosen answer: In the present day, with the United States abiding by more stricter school health laws, for the most part this wouldn't be in school cafeterias as many cannot even have carbonated beverage machines now. However, in the 90s when the show takes place, it wasn't unheard of for there to be coffee machines in the cafeteria of small schools where the teachers eat with the students as we see them do often in the show. The idea being that the cafeteria was small enough so a teacher or hall monitor could catch a student before they could drink the coffee.
