Today, I Am a Freshman - S4-E4

Other mistake: In one of the final scenes, Peter ignites his volcano on the patio in front of Marcia and the members of the Boosters Club. As the volcano goes haywire, Marcia and the Boosters are shrieking as the lava/mud covers them head to toe. Somehow Peter, who is much closer to the volcano, is unscathed by the eruption and remains free of any dirt.

Fright Night - S4-E6

Plot hole: After the girls get their revenge on the boys in the attic, they explain the mysterious "I must have air" voice from the trunk as it's revealed to be from a tape recorder. Marcia mentions a set up the girls had where they played the tape recording (from their bedroom) when they were ready. This is impossible as the recorder was in the attic trunk and the play button would have had to be manually pushed down by an actual person to activate.

Greg's Triangle - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: Jennifer writes her phone number on Greg's right hand with the first number starting at his thumb, but when Greg looks at his hand to read the phone number, the phone number was written with the first number near his fingers and the last number written by his thumb. (00:02:50)

Goodbye, Alice, Hello - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: Greg is wearing dark dress shoes when he comes in to the yard playing football with Peter. When they enter the kitchen, Greg is wearing white sneakers, and when Greg enters the living room, he is wearing the dark dress shoes again. (00:01:15)

Jan Brady: Well, all day long at school I hear how great Marcia is at this or how wonderful Marcia did that! Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.

54-40 and Fight - S1-E15

Question: Would someone please explain to me why Marcia did not just simply remove her dangly bracelet that endangered the girls standing in the house of cards competition after Carol said "Oh Marcia, Marcia, your bracelet"? It would have made it less stressful on her not to mention her team, and she wouldn't have had to restrain it with her other hand.

Answer: The dangling bracelet was used for dramatic purposes - to keep the audience on edge.

Answer: There were several episodes throughout the run of the show where Marcia was infatuated with a guy she went to school with. This bracelet could have been a gift from her then-boyfriend; as such, she would not want to take it off, as a sign of loyalty. A stupid thing to do, of course, but it's not a mistake for a character simply to be dumb.
