Show generally

Factual error: In the intro theme, most of the cars in the background are newer then the set time period. About halfway, you see an at least 1997 Ford F-150 pickup drive by the left windows, not manufactured yet.

Show generally

Other mistake: How did Donna take the SATs with the rest of the group if she was going to a different school? She is even wearing her catholic school uniform.

Show generally

Factual error: At the start of every episode we see the gang driving. Cars in the background are not from the 70s but the late 90s. For instance, the truck that comes up beside them at the end is a 90s Ford F150.

Show generally

Factual error: Eric has diecast model cars in his bedroom; those were not around then. The ones he has weren't available until the 1990s.

The '70s Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Red throws the keys to the Vista Cruiser to Eric, you can see he (Eric) catches them with both hands clasped together, then the camera cuts to show Red and Kitty (with the back of Eric's head) you see now that his right hand is clenched in the air, then it cuts again and his hands are clasped together again. He could not have moved his hands that quick.

The '70s Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Eric gets the keys to the Vista Cruiser, just after he catches them, you can see that the door to the living room is wide open, but before when Red and Kitty were telling him the responsibilities of owning a car, it is closed. No one had gone through the door during the entire scene.

Thanksgiving - S1-E9

Factual error: The scene where Kitty is making peanut butter celery for Thanksgiving appetizers; she is using Skippy brand peanut butter and the packaging is not from the 70's, it's the current packaging. (00:05:10 - 00:06:05)

The Pill - S1-E17

Visible crew/equipment: When Jackie tells Eric that she can really use a friend right now, in the next shot facing Eric just as he says, "Okay, well, good luck with that," the camera and crew member wearing a blue shirt can be seen at the left side of the screen. (00:01:00)

Super Grover

The Career Day - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Kitty comes downstairs to give the gang cookies, she tells Eric that she picked out an outfit for him to wear on career day. He then turns and mouths the words "Help me." In the next shot you can see Jackie sitting on Kelso's lap when in the previous episode, she broke up with him. In the next shot she is standing behind him. (00:01:00)

The Career Day - S1-E18
