The Spy Who Came In from the Playground - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: When the superintendent arrives at the school, he looks towards Stone who gives him a thumbs up. When he does this, Stone and the group around him are on the steps right in front of the entrance to the school. A couple of shots later, the entire group has suddenly appeared in front of the window without time for all of them to have moved.
Continuity mistake: After it is explained that without Dave, Sam is unfocused, you see that he has dug holes just about everywhere. However, after that scene, all the holes disappear.
Continuity mistake: After T.J. has become principle for a day, it shows him chewing out a kid for running in the halls. He throws down a manilla folder onto his desk in anger. However, when the shot changes, the folder has disappeared.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, Tyler T. and Tyler A. get their Tyler crests taken away. This stays as the camera follows them, but when the shot changes, all 4 Tyler crests are gone off the Tylers' jackets.
Some Friend - S4-E44
Plot hole: They say in this episode that Menlo was always an organized freak. But in "Principal for a Day" it turns out that he was a hyper-major kid until he started working in the school office.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, Gus is standing between the two handball walls. He is looking back at TJ and Lawson, who are near the first wall. But as the camera pans out, TJ and Lawson have moved to the other handball wall.
Wild Child - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: In the episode "Nobody Don't Like T.J.", the kid who doesn't like T.J. is Gordy. In this episode, "Gordy" is referred to as "Freddy".
Yes, Mikey, Santa Does Shave (2) - S2-E18
Factual error: In the actual play, T.J. is the Spirit of Hanaukkah, and he has 7 candles on his costume. However, there's 8 nights of Hanaukkah.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Gretchen says she's short on money, so she can't get a chocolate milk, just a white milk. But, when T.J. walks by with his food, Gretchen has a chocolate milk, such is evident from the brown carton.
Suggested correction: Gretchen tells the lunch lady that because she is one penny short, she will swap the chocolate milk (in her hand) for a regular. She puts the milk on her tray and walks off screen. Then, when T.J. walks past her, the camera pans over to Gretchen watching T.J. with that same chocolate milk on her tray she is holding. Gretchen got distracted by T.J.'s encounter with the lunch lady and stopped to watch him, but she was still going to swap the chocolate milk for a regular later on.
Continuity mistake: When Spinelli gets the ball to play in the field behind the trees, you can see lines that would indicate that the ball was a basketball. However, when the kids are playing kickball, it's obviously a kickball.
Continuity mistake: When Spinelli is challenging the hustler kid, she asks for Gretchen's bow (for a blindfold). In the shots after that, Spinelli is still blindfolded with Gretchen's bow, yet Gretchen is still wearing it.
That Stinking Feeling - S3-E11
Factual error: When Lawson catches the ball in the end-zone, you realize he's NOT in the end-zone.
Lawson and His Crew (2) - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: After Vince discovers that Mrs. Finster's new cactus is missing from the windowsill, we see that Swinger Girl has it with her, on top of the roof of the school. However, when the shot changes to the new group (With Lawson, Skeenz, Kurts, Menlow, and Randall) Swinger Girl is suddenly standing right next to them. There was not enough time for her to have climbed down from the roof.
Factual error: After Digger Dave and Digger Sam split up, they show that Sam was unfocused and was digging everywhere. Even through concrete?
Mama's Girl - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: Before Spinelli calls out "Mama." Mrs. Grotke is stepping into the mud with her right foot. After she says it, she's stepping in with her left foot.
Factual error: When Menlo is hoppin' scotch, he lands on 10 with both feet, and 10 is a single square.
Suggested correction: He does, but this is simply a mistake Menlo makes as a character. And it is not a 'character mistake'; I can see many people making a very simple mistake like this while playing hopscotch. I know I probably have as a kid. Also, he lands on an 8 square, not a 10 square.
Audio problem: When Randall says, "Way to hop, man." his mouth doesn't move when he says 'man' until after he's finished saying it.
Continuity mistake: In the time before King Bob tells his story about being the Prankster Prince, no one is on the jungle gym except TJ and his friends. But after Bob finishes, around 20 kids are on the jungle gym, plus TJ and co. There was not enough time for ALL those kids to get on top of the jungle gym from the time King Bob started his story to the time he finished.
Revealing mistake: In the areas where the kids change the tape, when Mikey slides and Spinelli is swinging, they are both holding cameras. Who's filming them?
Pharaoh Bob - S2-E12
Factual error: The history teacher who gives King Bob the idea about the pyramids says, "After over 4,000 years, we still know their names: Ramses...Amenhotep." But Amenhotep never built a pyramid, he built great complexes. No pyramids.
