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. Then, when Sam grabs the shovel and jumps back into the hole, the two hands of the clock vanish, only to reappear and change time yet again.

Diggers Split Up - S4-E20

Other mistake: At lunch, when Sam is using a spoon to shape his mashed potatoes on the tray, his right arm clips through the tray just as he says, "Maybe I should clear out the east wall like this." Then, when Sam says, "Maybe I should fortify the south side first," he's using the spoon to move the mashed potatoes on top of the tray, but his arm and spoon are under the tray, so it looks as if the potatoes move on their own. Additionally, when Sam states that he's so confused, the spoon held up in his right hand appears to vanish in the next shot.

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.

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.

Call Me Guy - S4-E10

Factual error: When Gus walks in, all kinds of kids have their backpacks on, like they just got there. Then Jordan asks Gus when he got there, which was 7:58, just a couple of minutes ago. Then TJ says, "Who's up for some kickball?" But it is already after 8:00, meaning they would be late.

The Big Prank - S4-E2

Plot hole: Why did Mikey jump to make the feathers fly if Vince said to abort? When TJ gets hit by the feathers, he's on the 'X marks the spot.' But when he got honeyed, he was nowhere near it. Before TJ gets feathered, He gets up onto his feet, like he had fallen down. But he was still standing when Mikey fired the feathers.

Suggested correction: Mikey jumped because he didn't hear Vince's direction in time. After Spinelli and Vince spray T.J. with honey, T.J. is off screen for about 5 seconds. There was time for him to fall down on the X and get back up.

The Secret Life of Grotke - S4-E32

Plot hole: In the scene where T.J. and his pals are trying to find the password to the building, they are using a cup telephone. When the man talks, they can hear him, but when the kids talk, the men on the other side can't hear them.

Hustler's Apprentice - S4-E3

Plot hole: Hustler kid tells Gus in this episode that hustlers never deal in things that could get a kid in trouble. In the episode where all the kids need to become Ashley's he has no problem in handing out plenty of fake IDs, and at the beginning of every show he is shown displaying dodgy merchandise to a kid inside his jacket.(the kid isn't inside the jacket...the merchandise is...).

The Biggest Trouble Ever - S4-E13

Other mistake: When the court hearing is taking place, T.J. wears a tie with blue and red stripes. As T.J. says to the mayor, "Sorry, sir, may I say something?", the stripes on his tie change to the opposite color for one frame (not counting the stripes on the knot).
