Season 1
2. And Mother Makes Four

At the end of the episode, Jack calls himself "John Boy". That must have been a mistake in filming that nobody caught, since John Ritter said his own first name.
Actually most people who go by the name Jack actually have the first name of John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 2
29. Chrissy, Come Home

Reverend Snow should have already known that his daughter was living with a man, because his wife (who appears the day Jack moved in), should have already told him.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

31. Coffee, Tea or Jack

The cake that Chrissy made loses the "Y" on the side of the cake at the end of the episode.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 3
33. Good Old Reliable Janet

Janet is supposed to be nude under her towel,but it looks like she's wearing nylons.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

35. The Fast

Janet isn't made to give up anything. That seems rather unfair.
REPLY: Maybe they don't think Janet is absolutely obsessed with anything that really needs to be given up.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

38. Chrissy and the Guru

The girls in the cult walk around barefoot. I hope they watch where they step outside.(broken glass,rusty nails,etc.)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

44. Eleanor's Return

They do not mention anything about Eleanor's son, who was born in the first episode.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

51. An Anniversary Surprise

Mr. Roper finds out Jack isn't gay before he and his wife move. But in the series spinoff, "The Ropers", when Jack and the girls occasionally make guest appearances, Mr. Roper makes still makes references and jokes about Jack being gay.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 4
54. Jack on the Lam

Janet and Chrissy should have asked the FBI agents, "Why do you want to speak to Jack?" if they were suspicious of something. That's what anybody else would have done in that situation.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

61. A Camping We Will Go

On the camping trip, there are many errors. First of all, the background is obviously a painted backdrop. Also, underneath the hammock and the area surrounding it, there is obviously some sort of mattress built into the ground for Jack to cushion his fall (obvious many times during the scene). Last, when Jack is walking around zipped in his sleeping bag, he walks past the camera and a shadow from the stage light becomes visible behind him, as this much light in the forest would not be produced at night.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

74. Lee Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

If Lee is so perfect, how does he not have a wife or girlfriend yet? And if he was always "better" than Jack at everything, it's weird how Jack is the one living with two girls.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 6
102. Jack Bares All (a.k.a. Oh, Nurse) (2)

During the scene when Jack and Larry are playing their "A million laughs" joke on Terry, as Jack takes the glasses from Terry he says "Wait a minute Tammy". I don't know if he called her Tammy because he didn't like her or John Ritter plain forgot and nobody in editing caught it.
The amount of black ink under Terri's eyes after removing the glasses changes after Jack ruin's her dress.
How can Cindy get into UCLA though, seeing throughout the time she was a roommate, it seems she most likely couldn't have high enough grades to get into UCLA.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

115. Maid to Order

When Jack, Cindy, and Rita are in the living room, Jack tells Rita that Cindy is his Swedish maid and only speaks Swedish to her. In the next scene with the three of them together, Jack speaks English to Cindy in front of Rita, and Rita does not care. Strange.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

120. Doctor in the House

During the examination scene in the Doctor's office, Jack mistakenly refers to Janet as Mrs. Fordwick instead of Mrs. Foster and the mistake draws a minor laugh from the audience. John Ritter played the Reverend Fordwick on "The Waltons" during the show's early run.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

124. Janet Wigs Out

In the scene where Jack gets his hand stuck in the wig, if you look carefully, it clearly isn't stuck. When both Janet and Terri each try to pull it off Jack's hand, you can see Jack's hand turning into a gripping fist to hold on to the hair.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 7
133. Jack Gets His

When Mr. Furley is writing the rent check for Mr. Angelino, he shakes the pen which accidentally gets ink splotches all over Mr. Angelino's suit jacket. When Mr. Angelino leaves, the ink is no longer there.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 8
152. She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

When Larry (and later Jack) falls into the lake from the boat, you can see a mysterious wire attaching the boat to the dock so it doesn't move too fast (there is also the normal rope attaching the boat to the dock so this wire is a goof).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

154. Out on a Limb

after Jack convinces Janet to write a letter to the food critic, there's convenietly a typewriter on the desk that wasn't there in any previous or following episodes.
Because this episode should have aired before the previous episode, The Money Machine, the couch in the apartment magically switches back to the old couch after Mr. Furley bought a new one. It switches back to the new couch in the next episode.
How does Jack open up the window to Townsend's office from the outside? It seems rather impossible for a window to be made like that.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

172. Friends and Lovers (2)

Chrissy had been a great friend to Janet for years. Why wouldn't she invite her to the wedding? I can understand why on the producers verses Suzanne thing, but couldn't Janet say, "Well, it was to bad Chrissy couldn't make it to the wedding."
In the episode "The Apartment" where Jack catches Mr. Angelino having an affair, we see the apartment above Jack's Bistro is only one room...a small bedroom and a bathroom. However, when Vicky and Jack move into this apartment at the end of the episode, we see there is also a large living room, and the bedroom looks nothing liike it did in this previous episode.

31. Coffee, Tea or Jack

The cake that Chrissy made loses the "Y" on the side of the cake at the end of the episode.

If I'm not mistaken, Janet points out the fact that the "Y" is on the side of the cake to Chrissy, and Chrissy says that she ran out of room. I'll have to watch it again to be absolutely sure.

"Goodnight John Boy" is a line made famous from The Waltons. He was not referring to himself here.
