Diggers Split Up - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: After Upside-Down Girl tells TJ he must do something about Dave, when the gang look for Sam and discuss the situation with him, the clock over the school doors repeatedly changes time between shots.

Mama's Girl - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: After Miss Grotke avoids the mud puddle, a kid says, "Spinelli just called Miss Grotke Mama!" In this shot, Ashley Q is near the left side of the screen, Ashley B is near the right, and the other two Ashleys are nowhere to be seen.

Schoolworld - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: When Gus gets locked out of the school after recess, he asks SAL to open the hallway door. He looks up at the clock, and the time on it is 10.46.05 (then goes up to 10.46.08 by the end of the shot). A few seconds later, the time changes to 18.46.16, then 10.46.17, then 10.45.18.

The Big Prank - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When TJ's friends climb on the jungle gym to try and take TJ's place, we see that Gretchen is the last one up and there is no-one on the bars behind her. But in the next long shot, Mikey is right behind her. Then when it shows a close-up of them, Mikey is gone again; then he reappears a moment later.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Across the show, the number of kids in a class/what kids are in which class varies. For example, in "The Great Can Drive", the Ashleys are in Ms. Furley's class. However, in almost every other episode besides this one, the Ashleys are all in Ms. Grotke's class, and the exception are a couple of episodes in which 2 Ashleys are in Ms. Grotke's class, and the other 2 Ashleys are in another class (which is not specified by name), making a serious consistency error.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, as Gus' dad walks away, the A/C duct goes way down the hallway, and one side is halfway in one tile and the other side is halfway on another tile. When Gus is talking, the duct is much shorter, and the whole duct is contained in one tile.

Good Luck Charm - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene where Spinelli shows off her jump roping skills, the two Ashleys swinging the rope quite awkwardly and choppily go from a normal to a surprised expression every second or so.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, after King Bob declares Gus as The New Kid, the kids are cheering and TJ and friends have disappeared from the shot. Then Gus looks down in front of him and the guys are right there in front of him.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, as Gus' dad walks away, there is a sign on the door to the right that says "Boys." I would assume this is a restroom. Then, two shots later, it shows Gus from his front and in place of that sign is a window.
