Let Them Eat Cake - S5-E6

Revealing mistake: When Randy is thrown across the yard by Jason and his friend, you can tell that he is actually just launching himself as you can hear him take four running steps after Brad says "Hey Wilson, how's it going?", followed by Randy appearing onscreen and then jumping off the porch. You can also see Randy's lone shadow running towards the spot where he jumps from while he himself is offscreen. Next you can tell he lands on a crash mat because the leaves on the ground drag behind him as he is sliding across the grass. Lastly, after he says "I'm going to get you for this Brad!", you can see him walking towards the gazebo where Jason and his friend are sitting and just before the shot changes Jason extends his left hand for Randy to give him five.

An Older Woman - S7-E13

Continuity mistake: This episode establishes that Tim is three years older than Jill. However, in the episode "Ex Marks The Spot" (Season 2), Tim said that he broke up with Stacy after high school, then met Jill at college. And Jill wouldn't date him unless he promised that everything was over with Stacy. If Jill is three years younger, she would have been only fifteen when Tim broke up with Stacy, not at college.
