Continuity mistake: When Zaccariah steals the last piece of fried chicken off the plate, the plate is left completely clean, yet when Alice goes to get the piece a few seconds later, there's a sizable grease stain on the plate. (00:14:05)
Other mistake: Just after Bobby and Cindy get lost, there are shots showing Mike and Carol calling for them. A couple of minutes later the same shots are shown again, but this time they're flipped. (00:22:00)
Continuity mistake: At home, before leaving for the Grand Canyon, the trailer was much taller than the car, and looked more like a motor home. After that, it becomes a different vehicle more like a trailer, about the same height as the car. When the prosecutor steals the car, it's the tall version, and when they arrive at the Grand Canyon to look at the view, there's nothing attached to the car bumper. When they leave the Grand Canyon it's the shorter version, back to being a trailer.
My Sister, Benedict Arnold - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Kathy Lawrence enters the Brady home, as she walks through the kitchen, her top button is unbuttoned. When she is in the living room cheering, it is buttoned.
Continuity mistake: When Peter comes down to answer the phone, he's wearing a blue shirt. When he hangs up the phone, his shirt color changes to a light red/pink color. Then back to blue again.
Deliberate mistake: During Peter's party, when the girls start to gather around Peter to try and convince him that he's not dull, there's a closeup of Peter that's a flipped shot. Additionally, when everyone runs out for the fire drill, Peter's striped tie is tied very differently - it goes from grey/gold at the top to burgundy at the top.
Revealing mistake: When Carol goes to the dress rehearsal, she is wearing one outfit when she is talking to Mrs. Goodwyn, but then when she goes upstairs to the girl's bedroom and talks to Marcia, she is wearing a totally different outfit.
Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, in the exterior shot when Jan and Peter rush through the patio door Jan doesn't have a ribbon in her hair, but in the interior shot suddenly there's a long red yarn ribbon in Jan's hair.
Continuity mistake: When Greg and Marcia are taping the fake message for Peter, Greg says, "Bang, he buckles down and brings home an A." But when Peter listens to the message a minute later (16:15), Greg's statement is now "Bang, he brings home an A." (00:14:50)
Continuity mistake: The microphone next to the tape recorder moves from one shot to the next. (00:26:05)
Audio problem: When Peter is hinting to Carol that he is still growing, the audio changes to being dubbed in from Peter separate from the actual scene after Peter stands up and mentions he wants cowboy boots. Then the audio is back to normal once Peter mentions "Brown" cowboy boots.
Factual error: About 1/3 through the show, Greg has to talk to Marcia and asks Peter to leave. On the way out Peter stops to start recording on the tape recorder. He only pushes the play button. He would have had to push the red record and play button to record their conversation.
Continuity mistake: The last line of Alice's recipe, written on the chalkboard, changes from "3 egg yolk" to "3 egg yolks" and back again. (00:06:15)
Continuity mistake: The football diagram that Greg draws on the chalkboard changes from shot to shot. (00:07:00)
Continuity mistake: In the photo of the football reception, the enlarged photo is not from the original. The receiver's legs are in a different position. (00:22:35 - 00:23:20)
Continuity mistake: When Marcia is sitting on the couch talking with Davy, the small beige pillow behind her is either up on the back of the couch or much further down depending on the shot. (00:23:20)
Audio problem: When Greg and Peter were in the family room helping Marcia write a letter to Davy Jones, Peter suggests telling him that he won a $10 million sweepstake. Then as they walk into the kitchen, you hear Greg saying "A $10 million sweepstake" and Peter says "$20 million?" It is clear that he wasn't really talking, because the sound of his voice is very distant, although they were only in the next room.
Plot hole: At the end of the episode, the younger kids are singing the song "Girl" that Davy Jones did a little earlier in the show. The problem is that the song was just recorded and hasn't been released yet, they couldn't possibly know the song. Davy gives Marcia an LP, but it is on the same day the song was recorded, it couldn't be on there either.
The Not-So-Rose-Colored Glasses - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: In the middle of the episode, a boxy gold station wagon is pulling into the Brady driveway, which immediately cuts to a shot of a rounder body style, gold station wagon pulling up to the carport.
Continuity mistake: When Greg runs into the girls' bedroom to rescue Bobby from the window ledge, there's a black stuffed animal sitting in the middle of the bed nearest the door. After Greg pulls Bobby into the room, the stuffed animal is at the head of the bed. (00:03:45)
Answer: I think I remember that episode - but, more importantly, my mother always told me (and my siblings) to stop jumping/ stomping, running in the kitchen, and opening the oven door when a cake was baking... because these could make the cake fall. I believed my mother... and I, as a child, also caused a few "fallen cakes" because I didn't quite always listen (right away, anyway). I'm sure Alice's fallen cake episode was exaggerated, but cakes really CAN fall from stomps and opening the oven door too soon. Usually, it has something to do with the baking powder and how the air bubbles change during the baking process. Doing something that might cause the oven and cake inside to move/shake can suddenly change the air bubbles inside the cake and cause a collapse. I don't know all factors that have to occur for a cake to fall (collapse in the middle), but I've seen fallen cakes during my adulthood and... well... caused at least a few myself. Regarding Alice's cake falling each time one of the Brady kids stomped upstairs, I'm not sure if a series of falls could occur. IF it is possible, I think there would have to be way too much baking powder in the batter or some other inaccurate combination of ingredients that alter the chemical process during baking.
