Ill - S2-E9

Corrected entry: The series started in 1997 during a time where cell phones and the internet already existed, but in the show, everyone still uses landlines and no cell phones are ever seen and no internet is ever used or mentioned.

Correction: 1997 was pretty much right at the start of mainstream adoption of the internet and cellphones. Only 20% of people owned a cellphone, and 18% of households had an internet connection. And it would have been slow dial-up, and fairly expensive to use. No real reason to make it a focus of the show. Just because something technically exists, doesn't mean it's mainstream enough to reference. This also isn't remotely a plot hole or even factual error, given the show was made in 1997 so is period-accurate by default. They can mention/not mention whatever they want - I'm sure there were lots of other cultural/technological developments they didn't pay much attention to, and those aren't mistakes either.

Too Cute - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: In the Season 1 episode "Too Cute," Quinn mentions to Sandy that Sandy picked out Quinn's outfit that she's wearing. This could not be possible as Quinn had that outfit (the same one she always wears in every episode) since BEFORE they moved to their current town and before the girls met anyone in their school they first went to in the first episode.

Suggested correction: That's usually the case but not every episode. There's an episode where they are eating Penne a la Pesto instead, and another one had pizza.

Show generally

Question: Whenever Kevin talks to Mack, Kevin calls him "Mack Daddy." Mack always responds with "Don't call me that." What is the reason Mack doesn't like to be called "Mack Daddy"?

Answer: "Mack Daddy" was a 90s phrase meaning "Ladies man," and Mack simply doesn't like the stupid nickname.
