Bowling Ballet - S3-E4

Other mistake: At the start of the episode we're shown a preview of the episode's plot: while Fred stretches his leg on the ballet bar his leg gets stuck and when the ballet teacher pushes his leg down, the part of the ballet bar which Fred is leaning on is gone. What's odd is that during this scene within the episode the ballet bar is perfectly intact. (00:00:25 - 00:14:40)

Super Grover

Cave Scout Jamboree - S4-E20

Other mistake: In the "Old MacDonald" sequence, Fred tells the scouts that whoever he points to will sing the chorus in their own language, yet the German and Dutch scouts sing it in English.

No Biz Like Show Biz - S6-E1

Other mistake: When Fred puts his hand on the knob to turn on the television to watch the football, he turns the knob clockwise but when he takes his hand off it, the knob has not moved at all.

Rip Van Flintstone - S6-E8

Other mistake: When the shopkeeper takes the magazine away from Fred in the supermarket, Fred says he was just looking at the pictures. But when the shopkeeper takes the magazine, you can see that the page Fred was reading is completely blank.

Show generally

Question: At the end of every episode, it shows Fred putting out the sabertooth tiger. Has this animal ever appeared in any of the episodes? If yes, what episodes was it in? If no, then why show Fred putting an animal he doesn't own outside?

Answer: The name of the pet is "Baby Puss." He has appeared in episodes, but only a very few. The first episode was probably "The X-Ray Story" from season 2.
