Some Funny Mistakes in TC! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LuLu Rogers · 06-23-2005, 09:23 PM

I hadn't noticed some of these before! They're pretty funny!

No Children, No Pets
After Jack brings the puppy over to the girls, the box he brought the puppy in was placed on the table behind their couch. At one point, it is knocked over, and you can see it falling down to the floor (past Janet). In the next shot, it's back on the table, and none of the characters were in a position to pick it up to place it back there.

Good Old Reliable Janet
When Janet and Mrs. Roper are found nude behind the bushes, Larry leaves to get towels. However, the yellow towel suddenly appears briefly on screen several seconds before Larry returns.

In Like Larry
Larry gives Cindy and Janet gifts to thank them for letting him live with them, so Janet gives him a kiss. However, three seasons later in the episode "Friends and Lovers," Janet kisses Larry at her wedding to which Larry says "Janet, that's the first time you've ever kissed me."

Jack Bares All
In the scene where Terry puts on the gag glasses, notice how the black circles under her eyes get larger after the shot changes.

Two Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
In the scene where Jack and Janet are sitting on the sofa with the doctor, Janet offers the doctor some nuts from a bowl. Then take a look at Janet's face. She begins to laugh so she lowers her head and the camera immediately shoots over to Jack who realizes the goof and adlibs something to give Janet time to get into character again.

And Now Here's Jack
This is such an obvious mistake. In the scene where Jack, Janet and Terri are on the air for the cooking show, Janet holds up the silver bowl but there is no parsley in it. Then in the next shot the bowl is full of parsley. How is it possible that it got filled up in a matter of two seconds.

Grandma Jack
Notice the scene when Terry comes out of the kitchen. As the kitchen door begins swinging shut, a mysterious hand (which belongs to a crew member) suddenly appears from offstage to keep the door closed.

Professor Jack
In the scene where Terri admits to Jack that she mistook his cooking lessons for lovemaking lessons, look at Terri's bangs. They go from on her forehead to brushed back then back to on her forehead then back to being brushed back.

Roper's Niece
Someone in the audience mocks Chrissy.

Janet Wigs Out
Terri answers the phone and tells Jack it's for him. He yells, "Just a minute!" so she says, "Joanna, hold on, he'll be right with you." However, when Jack answers the phone, he says, "Hello? Oh hi Debbie!"

LuLu Rogers · 06-23-2005, 09:39 PM

Here are some more:

My Sister's Keeper
Towards the beginning of the episode, on the coffee table in the living room, there is a magazine with John Ritter's face on the cover!

Jack's Uncle
In this episode Jack states that he is his uncle's only nephew, but the episode "Lee Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" is about Jack's older brother.

The New Landlord
In one scene of this episode, the camera goes to high and we see the top of the set wall above jack's bedroom door.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Friends and Lovers, Part2
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.

LuckyM · 06-23-2005, 09:56 PM

LOL! I need to look for some of these now!

Fleet · 06-23-2005, 10:15 PM

Those are some good mistakes. I didn't realize there were so many. But that's the thing about weekly sitcoms- it would have taken too long to re-tape every mistake (if they were caught in the first place).

Actually, I just recently noticed that. I thought I was seeing things, but I remember that I noticed it.

That probably wasn't a mistake. Probably a tongue-in-cheek inside joke to see if anyone noticed. Apparently, someone did.

I watched this episode last night and saw the magazine! It cracked me up!

What's really funny is that I also watched "The Love Diary" and the exact same magazine appears on the coffee table during the tag scene!

I am a she, and I posted at the top, if you knew how to read, that I hadn't notcied most of these mistakes myself because I found them on a website!

I wasn't trying to take credit for finding any of these mistakes!
