Corrected entry: Before the reveal of Randy's new room in the basement, Tim, Al and Randy are on the stairs. Randy is anxious to see his new "lad pad." When it's time to go in, Tim calls Randy Mark by mistake.
Home Improvement (1991)
1 corrected entry in Room Without A View
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.
Al: Say, do you think they call it a nail gun because it shoots nails?

Question: Was the actor who played Cal Boreland really Richard Karn's brother in real life?
Answer: No the guy sent in a picture of himself because he thought he looked like Al. So they brought him on the show as his brother.
Answer: According to imdb.com: Richard has only one sister. http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0439781/bio.
Answer: It should also be noted, Richard Karn is his stage name as Karn is his middle name. His real name is Richard Wilson. Cal was played by Keith Lehman.
Siblings can have different last names. One might have a different father. Maybe one legally changed his name for some reason, or a man took his wife's last name (not as common, but it happens). Of course, these two actors are not actually related, but I just wanted to point this out.

Correction: Tim says Marv who is the camera guy, not Mark. A hint that he says Marv is that earlier in the episode when Tim is fastening the wood beam to the floor with the 44 magnum, Tim says 'Marv if you want to come in and get a closer look...' then right after Tim fastens it, Tim hits his head on the camera and says 'Not that close Marv!'

Agreed. I've heard him do this before and thought it was odd to have two characters with the same name. It is Marv and Mark.
