(16 votes)

The Life and Love of Joe Coogan - S3-E17

Corrected entry: The clerical garb that Father Joe wears to his dinner date at the Petries' is more typical of Protestant clergymen than Catholic priests. A Catholic priest's shirt would not have a white circular collar. Rather it would have a black stand-up collar with a small strip of white cloth inserted in the front.

Correction: Actually, while it is more common for Catholic priests to wear a collar like that, it is not unknown for them to wear a full white collar around the neck.

It May Look Like a Walnut! - S2-E20

Character mistake: Rob is having a nightmare, part of which involves the disappearance of his thumbs. When he finds Laura at home, the script calls for him to say, "I want you to help me get my thumbs back," but he actually says, "I want you to help me get my thumb backs." His thumbs are also still there but hidden (you can see a portion of them in one frame of the episode).

Rob Petrie: At least I'll prove one thing tonight: Television writers marry the prettiest girls.
