One inconsistancy I can think of is Casey being called Lorraine in earlier episodes. Another one is Lowell knowing/not knowing Helen and the Hacketts while they were growing up.

A couple of prop goofs I've noticed:
-There must have been at least two different planes on the set because one is labeled N121PP and one is labled N121PB.
-During the office scene in Insanity Claus, the desk goes from still having some stuff on it to being completely bare except for Lowell's map to having some stuff on it again.
-Brian's drawing during the focus group episode (Taming of the Shrew?) changes betwen shots.

And that "I sure hope someone got fired for that one" quote is from a Simpsons episode.

lmao ... I had to laugh at the name Lorraine, no offense to anyone with that name ... but in one of my all time favorite movies ' Bubble Boy ' ... there was this bus load of ' Bright and Shining People ' that were either named Lorraine or Todd ... lol

hey ... I was even in one of the exterior shots ... loading a COEX ATR ...

BTW ... N121PB ... ex PBA Cessna ... operated by Express Air during the show (they just painted grey over PBA's red stripe)

G.

About the plane a friend of mine stated this in another forum I posted my 402 picture. The info is correct! He was loading a Continental Express ATR series regional prop at the time of this! So reg#'s are correct on both accounts.

Yeah, Snoopy, I caught the one about Helen talking about her sister Lorraine in the earlier episodes. Another thing I caught was in the very first episode, Fay tells Joe 'I didn't know you had a brother'. But then in a later episode where Joe and Fay first meet, where she is a flight attendent on a flight that Joe is on, he's telling her about his brother running off with his fiancee. Guess Fay is Ms. Short Term Memory. Or the writers.:lol:

They dropped both Kenny and Bud without explainations. They also dropped the storyline about Joe and Brian buying a second plane.

In "There's always room for Cello", Helen says she can't teach cello at place because her landlady doesn't like the noise. But in the earlier Trivial Pursuit episode, everyone's at Helen's house, which she presumably owns.

In the episode where Helen and Brian go to the senior transitions meeting, Brian draws a sperm and an ova on the blackboard when he starts talking about his childhood:lol: , but then in a later shot, when Helen was being convinced to try role-playing, the blackboard instead had a heart with the word "Mommy" in the center...not as funny as the sperm and ova, IMO.
