Send Out the Clowns - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Cameron and Mitchell are arguing about Cameron's clowning career, Cameron is unpacking soft toys from a large paper bag. Cameron unpacks a hot dog soft toy twice from the bag, when the camera cuts from Cameron to Mitchell and back to Cameron. (00:13:00)

Phil on Wire - S3-E3

Other mistake: When Cameron follows Mitchell into the sea, Cameron's shirt is visibly wet even though he is in a very shallow area of water. After cutting back to Cameron, the wet mark on his shirt has gotten bigger and traveled further up his shirt even though there are no significantly large waves that could have caused him to become so wet.

Disneyland - S3-E22

Revealing mistake: The episode was filmed with real Disneyland visitors. One can constantly see them staring at the camera and/or Disneyland cast members standing with their backs to the actors, monitoring the crowd. This is especially noticeable when the family first arrives and when Mitchell and Cameron talk about Lily's leash: behind the actors, there are long white rope lines supervised by park staff to keep visitors at a distance. Several people can be seen filming the actors or taking pictures with their phones.

Sacha

Aunt Mommy - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: When Claire is talking to Phil about having Cam's baby, she grabs a coffee cup out of the cabinet. In the next shot she grabs the same cup out of the cabinet again. (00:13:10)

Baby on Board - S3-E24

Plot hole: Luke says they received a red light ticket in the mail from the time he stole a car, but it was Cameron's car he stole. (00:21:25)

Jay Pritchett: Isn't it enough this family spends a lot of time together? Now we have to inbreed.

Question: In Claire and Phil's house, what is the room behind the staircase that we never see? It wasn't there in the pilot episode but thereafter, it's got a window and supposedly a good amount of space, as it's in the front of the house, in front of the kitchen. Anybody have any idea?

Chosen answer: There was a plain wall at the foot of the stairs in the pilot episode. Thereafter, there is a room, but we have never been shown what's in the room.
