9 continuity mistakes in season 1 - chronological order

(2 votes)

Esteemsters - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Mr. O'Neill is talking to Daria and Jane, the board behind him has a bunch of arrows in a circle with a different word written next to each arrow. When the camera changes to a further angle with all three characters in the frame, the arrows remain on the board but all the words are completely gone - then appear again once the camera is close up to the board again.

The Invitation - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: In this episode, during the party, we see Tiffani (from the fashion club) for the first time, and when she speaks (just once in the episode), her voice is extremely different than the low monotone voice she has in later episodes. Here she sounds more Americanized and has a higher-sounding voice (similar to Stacy's).

Cafe Disaffecto - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As Jody is shown up close talking in the classroom, her hair (usually black) looks dark grey in this shot - then after a camera angle change with her further out, suddenly her hair is black once again.

Cafe Disaffecto - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Daria and Kevin are talking in front of the lockers early in the episode, the lockers don't have any numbers on them like they normally do in other episodes.

Cafe Disaffecto - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The blackboard behind O'Neil has a face drawn on it with tears coming down on each side of the face. In some camera angles, three tears on each side are shown, and in other camera angles, only two are shown. This number of tears keeps alternating.

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.

Too Cute - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: In the mall just before arriving at the doctor's office, Daria and Quinn walk by a business called "Butt Hut" and go fully past it, and then in a closer shot of the girls walking, they walk by "Butt Hut" again.

The Big House - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The two tablets that Helen made both first have the word "RULES" printed on the top, but in a later scene, one of the tablets says "CONT" on the top, and Daria then pushes it over, and we see the backside of that tablet completely blank. This is not possible as both tablets had the word "RULES", so seeing each side of one tablet without that word on it doesn't make sense.

Road Worrier - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Daria first hops in the van, she bangs the top of her head on the wall of the door getting in, but later, when the bruise is shown from the incident, it is now on her lower forehead (just above her eyes). The bruise would have been much higher up according to where she first hit her head.

Through a Lens Darkly - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Daria arrives at school without her glasses (her choice). When the scene changes to Mr. O'Neil's class, first shown from the back facing O'Neil and the backside of students, Daria (sitting on the left of the screen) is shown from behind and her glasses are showing on her face (as usual). When Daria is next shown talking close up in the remainder of the scene, she is without her glasses again.

Trivia: Wendy Hoopes did the voices of Jane, Helen, and Quinn. This explains why sometimes when Helen is talking in an excited tone and her voice goes higher, she sounds exactly like Quinn.

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.
