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.

Bright Christmas - S7-E11

Character mistake: Jill mentions that her parents were married for 50 years, and her mother corrects her and says it was 51 years and 7 months. However, the season 6 episode Jill And Her Sisters was about the aforementioned ladies planning their parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and the penultimate episode of the season, Taps, saw Jill's father die a few months after the former episode. Since only a few months had passed, there's no way Jill's parents could have been married for 51 years and 7 months.

Nothing More Than Feelings - S1-E7

Other mistake: In this episode, Jill drove the Chevy Nomad with the oil light on. This caused Tim to rebuild the motor. In the shot with Tim in the garage, working on the motor, a Ford motor is shown.

Talk To Me - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: When Jill drops the ball down the vent, there are 4 more balls in the stand. When she drops the second ball, there are only 2 balls in the stand, not 3.

The Long And Winding Road (3) - S8-E27

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when Tim and Jill are cleaning up from the wedding, you can see where the fence was. There is a seam where the two grass carpets meet up, showing obviously artificial grass since the holes are so neat and thin and perfect, with no displaced dirt. You can even see that it is laid down in strips on Wilson's side, with multiple seams running towards the house.

Young At Heart - S8-E17

Revealing mistake: When Tim gives Jill the framed photo of the two of them on their way to the Doobie Brothers concert, you can tell Tim has just been photoshopped into an existing picture of Patricia Richardson, as he is slightly out of focus despite the fact that they are standing next to each other.

Jill's Surprise Party - S5-E4

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode before Tim opens the front door for Julie Zwicky, you can see the actress' silhouette in the window pane for several moments before she rings the doorbell, showing her to be waiting for her cue.

What a Drag - S7-E16

Other mistake: When Tim and Jill are staking out in Wilson's backyard to see which of their sons hid the marijuana, Jill mentions that it's only 10° outside. However, their breath is never visible throughout the scene.
