I noticed how the opening credits for the movie in syndication include Brain Bonsall which at the time had not started on FT yet.

I noticed the credits part, but I don't think those were the original credits they used for the movie.

Maybe... they showed the movie at a later time when they had those credits, but I am not sure.
The part about Elyse saying she was married at 11 and a half, she was joking!!!! I mean the guy was saying how young she looked so she didn't want to tell him she was really older, that's why she said she was 11. You dig? besides, didn't you see the way Steven looked at her when she said that?

Yeah, it seems the 11 1/2 must have been a joke!

I noticed in the FT Vacation(4 episodes) that the beginning credits where it shows the family, they show Andy at approx. age 4, when in fact Andy at the point in the show was Baby Andy, and not fouir year old Andy. That was a mistake that the writers did not catch.I'm not sure what version is airing in the US now, but originally Family Ties Vacation did not have any regular credits at all - Just text credits (actors, writers, producers, director) during the beginning of the storyline (during the car and airport scenes).

Andy was never included in the credits at all, as he was not part of the movie.

One of mistake is when Ellyse is talking to the man sitting next to her on the plane she says she got married when she was young, and she said "I got married when I was 11 and 1/2 years old." That's not possible. No one in the U.S. is allowed
to get married at 11 years old, because it's not legal.that was indeed a joke, to play on the fact that she looked younger than she actually was.

Just two observations I noticed. Neither of these were mistakes - At least not in the original version of the movie, I can't say how Nick at Nite have treated them...

Right. It was originally aired as a movie, and later was split into 4 eps. Anyway, I don't care either way....I don't enjoy it as much as the regular sitcoms eps.

How did nick at Nite handle it? Did they superimpose opening credits from a regular episode, or what credits are you talking about?

They used the regular opening credits and at the end of each
part they did the movie version credits for the guest cast.
Gotta admit the scene where Alex runs into History class with
the towel around him after his clothes get stolen was rather
hilarious.
