Show generally

Corrected entry: On the show, "soda" is usually offered when asking if someone wants a drink. In Michigan we always refer to any carbonated drink as "pop". Maybe transplants might say soda, but if Tim and family have been there their whole lives, they would drink "pop".

Correction: Adding on to what Lummie wrote, people are also influenced by family members, teachers, etc. I live in the Southeast USA, and my family has always said soda, even though a few surveys claim that it's common for people around here to say "Coke" (as a term for multiple brands).

Correction: What a family or person might call something is not solely determined on their location. Certain words like "pop" may be more commonly used in particular areas but it is not a mistake to call or refer to it by what youpersonally consider to be the uncommon term.

Lummie

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode with the rope swinging at the beginning when Tim has finished rope swinging he lifts is head a little, on the overhead shot you see the stunt mans face instead of Tim Allen's.

Correction: This submission is far too vague. Without the episode title or at least some indication of which episode this is from, the mistake is impossible to check or view.

Lummie

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.

Question: In one episode, Tim's mother says that she raised five boys. Three of those are Tim, Jeff, and Marty, but what do we know about the other two? There's another episode where Randy mentions his uncle that doesn't talk to their family anymore.

Answer: Tim's other brothers are named Rick and Steve. They never appeared on the show, and were only mentioned in passing.
