Suggested correction: Not really, the shot where the tree can be seen is viewed from the front so the tree is actually behind the porta-potty to the left. The view to the cars is directly looking left.

Mama Cast - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: When Doug jumps out of the porta-potty before the rival ice-cream truck smashes through it, the door is open and Doug immediately lands on the ground; but when the shot changes, the porta-potty door is closed and we can't see Doug rolling onto the ground. Also, when the truck smashes into the porta-potty, liquid splashes everywhere; but when we see Doug in the next shot he is dry and no liquid on the ground around him. (00:12:55)

The Minister

Affair Trade - S9-E2

Continuity mistake: When Doug and Jessica run into Carrie in the parking lot at the Dr. Heffernan office, there is a man walking up from behind them with grey hair. In the next shot he instantly appears beside them unrealistically fast. (00:19:20)

The Minister

Brace Yourself - S9-E6

Continuity mistake: When Danny interrupts Deacon and Kelly's dinner the couple retreat to their bedroom, and while Spence mumbles to himself as he clears the plates, in the closeup he places some plates on the pass-through shelf, but those plates have vanished in the next wide shot.

Super Grover

Home Cheapo - S9-E7

Continuity mistake: The Home Cheapo Series: In the scene where Deacon, Kelly, Carrie and Doug are silently debating over who will pay the bill, Doug pushes the bill over to Deacon and it lands diagonally in front of Deacon's beer. In the next shot the bill has changed positions without being touched.

Home Cheapo - S9-E7

Suggested correction: What if she quit the job, her employment was terminated, or it was a temporary/seasonal position?

Two Thirty - S4-E24

Plot hole: In this episode Arthur scams Deacon and several other parents for phony piano lessons because he doesn't actually know how to play the piano. However, earlier in the series (Art House episode, S1 - E24) we learn that Arthur can play the piano when he temporarily moves out and after his house warming party Doug says to Carrie, "Who knew Arthur could play the piano like that?"
