Frozen Pop - S2-E15

Other mistake: When Arthur decides to sleep upstairs instead of downstairs, he brings along a can of beans for a snack. It then cuts to an exterior street shot, which should be somewhere in Queens where the Heffernans live, but instead it's a shot of the corner at 14 Ave and 73 St in Brooklyn (some areas of Brooklyn and Queens may appear similar). Next shot is inside the Heffernan house in Queens. (00:11:45)

Super Grover

Meet By-Product - S2-E17

Deliberate mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Doug and Carrie are in the shower, you see their silhouettes. The first mistake is that for the silhouettes to show like that they have to be evenly backlit which wouldn't make sense in the shower. The second mistake is a little more subtle; you can see the outline where the actor's bathing suits are (inevitably) slightly larger than the bodies. There is also a slight darkening in the areas where the bathing suits cover skin. (both of these things are much easier to see on Carrie than Doug because of her smoother figure and skin tone).

The Shmenkmans - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: Near the end when the Heffernans, Palmers, and "Shmenkmans" are having dinner and are in conversation, Carrie is shown sitting extremely close to Abby, who is on Carrie's left. But in shots in the middle of the conversation, there is significant empty space to Carrie's left.

Surprise Artie - S2-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Arthur is hinting it's his birthday soon, there is one shot where you can see the cupboards above the hatch into the kitchen. In this shot you can see a boom mic follow Arthur across the room. (00:02:30)

Show generally

Question: Has Carrie's sister, Sara, ever been mentioned again after the first few episodes, and why was she taken off?

Answer: Sara hasn't been mentioned in later episodes, and it suggested in later episodes that she never existed, and that Carrie is an only child. Kevin James stated that the producers couldn't think of an good plots to use with Sara, so they left her out.
