Family Un-Ties - S6-E22

Plot hole: Tim has the mike in his hand and steps repeatedly forwards to talk to Jill, the cord being long enough to allow him to do so. However once Jill leaves and he wants to go after her the mike knocks over the jar of mosquitoes. Up until then, there was no indication that the mike had been changed or moved but he never at the risk of knocking over the jar until then.

Young At Heart - S8-E17

Continuity mistake: When Tim slams on the brakes at the red light, his hand ends up on Alex's right breast, and she is facing forward and glancing down at his hand. When Jill looks at the corresponding traffic ticket that Tim got, the photo shows his hand is now in her decollete area and she is looking directly at him. (00:08:05 - 00:10:47)

Future Shock - S6-E2

Other mistake: Al's tricycle catches on fire but when the fire is put out the tricycle is much more scorched and mangled in a way that would have been impossible with the short time the fire was lit and the area it actually burned.

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.
