See Dick Continue to Run (2) - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Dennis Rodman sees Harry, Tommy, and Sally at the hardware store, he addresses all three by name and asks what they are doing on Earth. If he didn't previously know they were on Earth, then he couldn't have known they were going by those names, as they chose those names after arriving at Earth. Harry even mentioned in a later episode that the names Tommy, Dick, and Harry were chosen by chance when they saw the phrase "Every Tom, Dick, and Harry" written down.

Dick's Ark - S6-E12

Character mistake: Sally tells Dick that he's jealous of her gig as a weather girl because he's never been on TV. However, Dick did appear on TV as a panellist on a talk show highlighting Dr. Strudwick's physics book in the season 4 episode Dick vs. Strudwick. Dick ended up turning the show into a Jerry Springer-like fiasco, and Sally even attended the taping. (00:10:40)

Tricky Dick - S3-E3

Audio problem: In the epilogue when Harry is singing for the garage band, before he takes the guitar and smashes it, you can see the guitar player is strumming, but only the bass guitar and drum parts are audible. (00:21:20)

Proud Dick - S2-E13

Other mistake: When Dick and Sally are playing with the cat toy in the kitchen, they make a lot of joyous noise while doing so. When the shot changes, we see Mary coming up the stairs to a completely silent home, and she can't seem to locate anyone until Harry pulls her into the closet. The kitchen is only a few feet away from the stairway, so not only should Dick and Sally's voices have still been very audible, but at the very least, Sally should have been in Mary's direct line of sight. (00:15:53 - 00:16:20)

See Dick Run (1) - S1-E20

Sally: You know, I just really resent how we're supposed to jump every time the Big Giant Head sends a message.
Dick: I know. Everyone knows he only got the job by kissing the big giant butt.

Dick's Big Giant Headache (1) - S4-E23

Trivia: When the Solomons meet the Big Giant Head at the airport and ask how his flight was, he says that it was horrible because when he looked out the airplane window, he saw something on the wing of the plane. Dick responds that the same thing happened to him. William Shatner appeared in the 1960's Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" in which a gremlin tried to destroy the wing of a plane. John Lithgow appeared in "Twilight Zone: The Movie" playing the same character in the same situation.
