The New Kid - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Gus' dad steps aside to reveal Gus behind him. Then, he says, "Well, my duty here is done. Mrs. Grotke, boys and girls," and then salutes them and walks away. He has moved back behind Gus. He had no time to move to that position.

The Great Can Drive - S1-E20

Plot hole: Near the end, at the assembly, the old lady sitting on stage can't even lift the turkey. But about 90 seconds later, she's running away from the can pyramid. What a miraculous recovery.

Jinxed - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: After Mrs. Finster has her show of strength and is pulling Gus away, he still has the chains from the wheel on his arm. When the shot changes, the chains are gone.

Suggested correction: It's not true. After Gus "changed" the kindergartners he was sent away from school.

This correction misses the point of the mistake. In "Recess: All Growed Down," when Gus moves to the school, the kindergartners are shown as "normal," but then Gus changes them to be wild, and they start to have torn clothes and paint on them. However, in the flashback scene in this episode, it shows the gang meeting on the first day (excluding Gus), and they have torn clothes and paint on them. This doesn't make sense because they only became that way when Gus moved to the school.

The Great Can Drive - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: Right after TJ and friends are looking at the "thermometers" of cans, the Ashleys have at least 4 crates of cans that they bring in on forklifts. However, the end result is 4,362 cans for the Ashleys. This may seem kind of picky, but I think there was more cans than 4,362.

Suggested correction: This is literally just an assumption, and nothing else. 4,362 is a pretty huge number, and with the amount of cans that we see the Ashleys collect in the episode, combined with the amount of cans that they and the rest of Miss Furley's class collected off-screen, it is perfectly believable that Miss Furley's class would end up collecting that amount of cans.

Continuity mistake: On the day of the PTA Spring Fling, Principal Prickly wonders where Mikey is, and when Miss Finster says, "We've looked everywhere, sir," she wears her watch on her left wrist and her bracelet on her right wrist. In the next shot, the bracelet on her right wrist has been replaced with her watch. In the following shot, the watch has vanished from her wrist.

Parents' Night - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Spinelli's real parents arrive at Parents' Night, the shot is flipped: the potted plant and poster are on the opposite sides, the letter on the poster is mirrored, the door opens the opposite way, and Spinelli's parents are running in the wrong direction. (00:08:26)

Parents' Night - S1-E3

After Gretchen asks why her parents don't ever come to Parents' Night, Spinelli tries to close the door, then T.J. puts his hand on the door and says, "Come on, Spinelli, we're your friends." In the next shot, his hand is suddenly not on the door anymore. (00:04:46)

Miss Muriel P Finster: I'd call you a pack of wild animals, but even wild animals don't throw food. Except for monkeys. But you're not monkeys, are you? No, you're children, children who act like monkeys.
