Plot hole: When Dominique is on TV, she says she got the shoes from Al's store. Then the Amish guy comes out to confirm she broke her leg from the shoe he made. Al says yes. She got the shoes way before Al knew he had no more shoes and before they even hired the Amish guy. How can she break her leg from his shoe if he wasn't hired and making them yet?
Suggested correction: Al was passing the blame.
The correction above is correct.
Continuity mistake: When young Al reaches forward with his left arm to take the book that Miss Degroot wants to give to him, she quickly pulls back but young AL still has his arm raised. In the next shot, his hand his down by his side.
Revealing mistake: When the mall Santa lands in the Bundys' back yard, everybody looks toward the back, and when Al looks forward, he cracks a smile although he's upset about the matter. Ed O'Neil admitted he couldn't contain his laughter.
Build a Better Mousetrap - S2-E15
Continuity mistake: When Al hits his thumb with the hammer when trying to hit the mouse in the wall, he hits his left thumb. In the very next scene, Peggy is wrapping up his right thumb.
Poppy's By the Tree (2) - S2-E2
Revealing mistake: When Al is blocking the killer's axe with his suitcase and they struggle for it, it is obvious that the axe is made of rubber, as the handle keeps bending.
Continuity mistake: When Al comes home, he finds a written message from Peg saying that she, Kelly and Bud are at Marcy's house performing the Village People. However, Peggy couldn't have written the message because when they agreed to play the Village People, they went over to Marcy's immediately. (00:04:50 - 00:06:10)
Movie Show - S7-E21
Revealing mistake: When everyone is standing at the snack bar eating all the food you can plainly see all the candy boxes are empty and already open even though they were sealed when the cashier put them on the counter.
Visible crew/equipment: When Al gets up to answer the phone near the start of the episode, a microphone can be seen above his head which then moves out of shot. More easily noticed if the episode is watched on a widescreen TV. (00:03:55)
Poppy's By the Tree (1) - S2-E1
Factual error: At the end of the episode, the killer shoves a long machete up through the mattress. This isn't possible considering he's under a bed and there's not enough vertical space to shove a machete straight up.
You Gotta Know When to Fold 'Em (2) - S4-E17
Plot hole: Al hasn't got enough cash to pay for a pizza and Peggy overmaxes his credit cards. But somehow he manages to buy three flight tickets for Chicago-Las Vegas. Where'd the money come from? Also, when his card is declined, he calls the pizza shop back (they call him "no tip" Bundy), and somehow they know where Peggy maxed out the credit card. (00:05:15)
You Better Shop Around (2) - S5-E22
Revealing mistake: Marcy is stacking cartons of eggs in her arms. She turns around and a carton falls on the floor making a busted egg sound although the cartons are obviously empty.
Continuity mistake: Al enters the house at 3am with Lucky. It is sleeting outside and there is snow all over the front and backyard. Later that day, Al is in the backyard, no snow to be seen, and grass and bushes in full bloom.
The Bald and the Beautiful - S3-E7
Other mistake: At the end of this episode, there is a typo in the credits: "Directed by" is written twice. (00:22:30)
Can't Dance, Don't Ask Me (aka Kelly's Dance) - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: During Kelly's dance, a nerdy girl grabs Bud and starts kissing him, but in the next shot, Bud is standing alone in the background. (00:20:30)
Visible crew/equipment: After Al fixes the roof and Peg reminds him to fix the TV antenna, when Al says he can do it, a shadow can be seen moving across the blue bucket on the table. (Probably a crew member or equipment.)
Plot hole: After Al steps out of the coyote doody he goes to Bud and puts an arm around him. Then they walk together towards the same spot - without looking down. (00:03:35)
Revealing mistake: When the bailiff pours rum into the judge's jar, it's obvious that there's nothing coming out of the flask. (00:13:05 - 00:14:10)
You Better Shop Around (2) - S5-E22
Revealing mistake: When Jefferson starts to shove the 'regulation Foodies cart,' it's very obvious that the actor makes the shaking movements of the cart by himself. (00:08:05)
I Can't Believe It's Butter - S10-E13
Revealing mistake: When Griff drinks the gravy right before calling "Butter", his glass is empty.
Rock of Ages - S7-E9
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Al has taken on the persona of Axel Bundy, a rock star, so he can fly first class with older rock stars. But before they start a jam in the first class lounge pre-flight, one of them calls him AL when he's prodding Al to join the group when all they knew him by was the name Axel.
