Mother and Child Reunion - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: After Willie and Alf talk about what's for breakfast, in the far away shot Lynn has a bottle of orange juice and she begins pouring it into a glass, then she starts putting the lid back on the bottle. When the camera cuts to a close up of just Alf and Dorothy, not only is the bottle of orange juice already sat down but Lynn starts to grab her glass of orange juice without anytime to have put the bottle down, let alone to start to pick up her glass.

Mother and Child Reunion - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: After Dorothy tells Alf that her 'mop from the moon" comment was an insult, Alf says "If I had a straw and a napkin, I would fill you so full of spit balls." while Dorothy is looking right at Alf but when the camera cuts to just Dorothy, she is all of a sudden looking upwards as she says "Do you hear how he's talking to me?" (00:16:55)

For Your Eyes Only - S1-E6

Character mistake: During the radio show, the radio host gives the radio station's phone number as 555-4455, Alf then softly repeats the number back before he gets to the phone. He then picks up the headset and dials a number, but the numbers he presses on the phone don't match up to the number given by the radio station. (00:04:10)

Keepin' the Faith - S1-E5

Question: When Al is holding a stack of towels, the Tanners say that he is "carrying towels through the damp." What does that mean?

Answer: Mr Tanner actually asks Alf, "Why are you carrying our towels through the den?" The streaming subtitles are wrong when it substitutes "damp" for "den" twice. It's possible the error originated from the VHS or DVD, which occurs often.

Super Grover

Yes, I was re-watching episodes, and I heard "den" the next time. Thank you for answering, though.
