2 corrected entries in season 2

Correction: One parent could easily be Italian (born in Italy and raised in America or lived long enough in America to lose their Italian accent). In fact, in Claudia's mind, even if one parent was born in America, but to Italian born parents, she would still be half-Italian.

Yes. I think that Tony Bustamante, Claudia's father, is the Italian one. He could have been raised in America by Italian parents. This does raise a question of why Claudia's Uncle Sal Bustamante ("We Are Family" episode), looks and acts more Italian than Tony. But perhaps he is only Tony's half-brother - i.e, he might have lived with a parent and other relatives who Tony does not share.

Eddie and This Guy with Diamonds - S2-E19

Corrected entry: In the scene where Sean, Eddie and Walt are playing pool, right after Eddie tells Sean "Women say they don't want you to get them anything, 'cause they want you to want to get them something, it's proof of your desire to please them", Sean calls Eddie by his real name and says "Kevin I'm terrible at picking stuff out for her, you know.". (00:03:55)

Correction: He actually says, "Yeah, but I'm terrible at picking stuff out for her you know", so it's not a mistake.

Oops!...I Did It Again - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: This episode establishes that Lily was born at the Live Aid event, which took place in July 1985. In the show's final episode, "Hello, Goodbye", Brad and Lily are graduating in 2005 (see the "congratulations" banner in a hallway at their school). Being born in 1985 would mean that she is graduating at age 20. It is highly unlikely that she failed and repeated two of her school years. Brad, who is the same age, is graduating with her, and he is a dedicated student.

Take It to the Limit - S2-E13

Question: I don't understand Lily's nervousness about impressing Dean in this episode - almost as if they have never been on a date. She already referred to him as her "boyfriend" in "Smoke on the Daughter", and they arranged a date in that episode. And he has been in her bedroom and brought her a Christmas present ("I Saw Daddy Hitting Santa Claus"). Why does this episode suddenly make it seem like they have never been on a date?

Answer: "Take It to the Limit", while aired as the 13th episode, was the 7th episode produced for the 2nd season (production code 207). "Smoke on the Daughter" was the 8th episode (208) and "I Saw Daddy Hitting Santa Clause" was the 10th episode (210) produced. Often shows air episodes out of production order for various reasons. If they had aired 210 in order, it would have aired on Jan 23rd instead of Dec 19th, hardly a good time to air a Christmas themed episode.
