Kindergarten Derby - S3-E5

Corrected entry: Mikey says he was the only kid in 3rd Street history to not finish the derby. But 10 or so kids stopped in the Valley of Distraction. And all the trainers knew how bad that was, so more kids in history than just Mikey had to have not finished the race.

Correction: The trainers were most likely able to get their kids to move on after a minute or so in the Valley. They thought it was bad because they wanted their kid to win and stopping in the Valley would get rid of this chance.

Jinxed - S1-E22

Corrected entry: When Gus is sentenced to "The Wheel," his hands are chained down to the contraption he's on. When Mrs. Finster comes by, she seems to have no trouble at all ripping the chains off the pole.

Correction: It's often shown that Finster is strong and Gus is weak.

The New Kid - S1-E2

Corrected entry: The back seat of the bus should not be reserved for the most shunned kid at school. The back seat is the most coveted bus seat there is.

Correction: It really depends on the school. At mine, no one likes sitting in the back.

The Madness of King Bob - S4-E9

Corrected entry: Near the end, when TJ is pranked, King Bob says, "You there, the behatted one," meaning TJ has a hat on, and TJ is who he wants as a volunteer. But the prefix "be-" means "not" or "de" (Think beheaded=no head), meaning TJ does not have a hat on.

Correction: "Be" doesn't always refer to "not". Think of befouled (made dirty) and bespectacled (wearing glasses).

Show generally

Corrected entry: The length of recess varies across the show, and it also varies when they take recess. For example, in "The New Kid" recess is 40 minutes long, taken at 10 am. But sometimes they take recess near the end of school. And in "The Break In", Mrs. Finster makes a show of TJ at lunch, and he is still punished that day, meaning recess is after lunch. Like I said, it varies a lot.

Correction: When I was in elementary school we had a recess after every single subject. That meant about five recesses a day (if you include the lunch recess.) I never noticed any of the recesses in the being up to 40 minutes long though so I can't explain the time problem.

Economics of Recess - S2-E15

Corrected entry: In this episode, kids buy things, such as drinks of water, for a certain number of Monstickers. For instance, you have to pay 2 stickers to enter the door. It costs 3 stickers to play on Old Rusty. At these "outrageous rates," kids should burn through at least a pack and a half in a week. At this rate, I would think the parents would get suspicious that they "put so many stickers on their notebooks," and tell them not to go through them so fast, or stop buying them altogether. While it could be argued that the kids have their own money, it makes no sense because they wouldn't have as much money left and would have to ask for more.

Correction: Yeah, however, the kids were finding ways to get stickers, such as guarding the swing set until someone came. The stickers were really just someone else's.

Partners in Crime - S4-E24

Corrected entry: In the beginning, Randall has a short conversation with Menlo while Menlo is on his break. He says, "I was picked once...it was beautiful". Less than 40 seconds later, he says, "Nine years old and I've never been picked". So, which is it? Have you been picked or not?

Correction: It Randall who said he was picked once. You can even see in the flashback it was Randall. Menlow then said he's nine and hasn't been picked.

Wild Child - S2-E6

Corrected entry: When TJ says, "Hang on kid, I think this fountain might be a trap.", there's a security 6th grader in front of the fountain, leaning up against it. But when Randall runs by and says "Hey, let me play or I'll make up something to tell Mrs. Finster on you.", the 6th grader has moved way to the left of the fountain.

Correction: He was never leaning against the fountain. It just looked like he was from where TJ was.

Teachers Lounge - S1-E17

Corrected entry: In this episode, everyone pronounces Mrs. Grotke with an a sound (like gra), but in every other episode, they pronounce it as "Gr-oh-tkee"

Correction: Maybe she told them afterwards (not in the cartoon) that you don't pronounce it like that. You don't see every sinlge second of every single day.
