Brains and Eggs - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Ms. Dubcek is showing the Solomons the attic apartment in the pilot episode, they enter (and she later exits) through what is Dick's bedroom in all subsequent episodes. Additionally the staircase at the back of the living room that serves as an entry point is completely missing.

Suggested correction: That's just because these episodes were aired out of order of their production. "Dick Is From Mars, Sally Is From Venus" was the 2nd episode produced (production code 102) while "Post Nasal Dick" was the 5th episode produced (production code 105).

Green-Eyed Dick - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Dubcek says that she doesn't allow dogs because she is allergic to dogs, but in a later episode she claims that she doesn't allow dogs because she has 6 cats buried in the back yard.

Dick, Who's Coming to Dinner - S5-E6

Dick: Does anyone remember why we all decided to be white?
Harry: Oh, um, I went with white ‘cause I thought it'd be a little cooler in the summer.
Tommy: Well don't you remember, Dick? All the television signals that we picked up in outer space were filled with white people.
Sally: Oh, except for that, uh, that black nerd with the hiked-up pants and the oversized glasses. What was his name?
Tommy: Bryant Gumbel.
Sally: Right.

Dick on a Roll - S3-E12

Trivia: Dick is never seen walking in this episode and is only in an upright position when he moves from the chair in the lounge room to the wheelchair in the opening scene. This is because John Lithgow hurt his ankle playing tennis, and the episode was written to allow him to be in a wheelchair for the entire episode.
