Continuity mistake: When Doug says that there is nothing going on at work, his hands are flat on the table, camera cuts and he's got one up in the air. (00:06:50)
Revealing mistake: At the start, when Arthur returns the book to Carrie then asks if she'd like to jot down his musings, we can see through the back door's window, and the backyard set's foliage pattern wallpaper is falling off the backdrop. It's visible later as well. (00:02:45)
Strike One - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: In the kitchen, when Doug tells Carrie he knows the strike will end in 1 or 2 weeks tops because he's a Union Member, the blue shelves/cabinet on the wall behind Doug are positioned properly. Then, when Carrie asks him what the strike issues are, watch as the blue shelves move sideways behind Doug (this wall with blue shelves/cabinet is hinged to provide camera access). (00:13:00)
Strike One - S3-E5
Visible crew/equipment: When it cuts from Doug singing with the barbershop quartet, to Doug and Carrie standing in the garage with the new vehicle, the end of the garage set wall is visible on the left side of the screen. (00:09:35)
Visible crew/equipment: During the flashback, when Carrie walks over to Doug at the side of the house, and he zips himself up, in shots facing Doug, a crew member and production equipment are visible on the right side of the screen. (00:20:10)
Visible crew/equipment: During the flashback, while Doug is waiting on the porch Carrie rushes out then gets into her car to take off, and in the next shot facing the front door, the reflections of the camera operator, wearing a white baseball cap, and the camera are visible on the window. (00:12:35)
Continuity mistake: When the beach ball sails over the fence, Doug picks it up and holds it to his face, making his right side of his shirt wet. Throughout that scene, his shirt is dry, and then wet again.
Revealing mistake: When Carrie leans on the fence to hide from the Saskeys, the fence moves. Fair enough Carrie is not a professional carpenter and has put the fence up in an afternoon. However, Tim, explains that the fence is not likely to fall due to how well Carrie has built it. (00:06:00)
Visible crew/equipment: We see Doug slide past the camera at Carrie's hospital appointment. When he does, a boom mic is reflected in the picture behind them. (00:11:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug says about Kelly being in the wrong he puts his arm up in the air which shows the top of the set and some equipment. (00:14:00)
Continuity mistake: When Carrie turns round and tells Doug that she's telling Kelly about the card, the bottle top on the table is constantly changing position without being touched. (00:11:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug tells Carrie "eyes off" someone can be seen moving on the stairs behind them due to a foot appearing in shot and shadows moving. However no-one else is at home other than Doug and Carrie. (00:10:40)
Continuity mistake: This is a very tricky one to spot as it happens as the shot is fading into black to a scene change but it is noticeable without the use of pause and/or slow motion. When Doug and Deacon are outside talking, Carrie comes out and then proceeds to walk back in and and audibly shut the back door. However as Doug and Deacon walk back in as the shot is fading away, the door is wide open. (00:09:30)
Audio problem: When Doug is having his photo taken the guy taking the photos doesn't actually press the button on the camera but the sounds are heard. (00:15:40)
Strike One - S3-E5
Visible crew/equipment: When we see the car in the garage for the first time we see the camera start to move. As it does, so a boom shadow can be seen to move over the car. (00:09:20)
Continuity mistake: When Doug and Deacon both volunteer for the calendar the magazine on the bench is constantly changing position without being touched. (00:05:10)
Continuity mistake: When Carrie is unpacking the shopping at the start she holds up an empty bag that magically folds itself flat between camera cuts. (00:01:50)
Strike One - S3-E5
Other mistake: The salesman calls Doug by his name without Doug telling him his name. His Work ID as shown in other episodes states D. Heffernan. (00:07:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug arrives at the airport and we see the two gentlemen writing names on a board, everyone has tape markers at their feet. (00:03:20)
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug and Arthur arrive in the City to talk to Carrie, yellow tape markers are visible on the floor by Doug's feet. (00:15:10)
Chosen answer: That is most likely the case.
