Ever notice when sitcoms make mistakes? Like in "boy meets world" the earlier seasons shawn says he has an older sister who permed cory's hair and topanga also mentions a sister yet later on she doesn't have one anymore..Also in later episodes cory says he was always with her since they were in kindergarden but in the early episodes they seems to not know each other very well. can you guys think of any more?

two words, Chuck Cunningham

------------------
Stanley Roper: I'm sorry Jack

Jack Tripper: Oh, thats ok, what did you do?

Roper: Me? Nothing, I just thought I saw something that wasnt normal, because it was normal, but, now I can see it aint normal, so, everything's back to normal again.

Jack: oh, well, I'm glad for you.

Ah ah ah! Chuck Cunningham was not a screw up, he was deliberate. They got rid of him when they realized that Fonzie would serve as Richie's older brother figure, and decide to just drop him instead of writing him off. I read somewhere (I think Garry Marshall's book, but it might've been an article) that everytime someone asked him what happened to Chuck, Garry would say he got an 11 year basketball scholarship or something like that.

There are plenty of screw ups in every show. In Full House, Jesse's name was Cochren for the first one or two seasons, then all of a sudden it was Katsopolis. Natalie on FOL said she had a sister in season 1, but the sister was never mentioned again and didn't show up for Natalie's dad's funeral.

I just saw an episode of Facts of Life with Eve Plumb as Blair's sister. She wanted to be a nun & Blair was upset about it. This was from the fourth season, but later she had no siblings except Bailey.

LaverneShirley · 02-11-2001, 08:56 PM

Missbud2, that episode is called "Best Sister' and in the first part when Meg (Blair's "sister") shows up, they say that Blair's mom's second husband was Meg's father (Blair's mom was Meg's father's fourth wife) meaning that they are ex-step sisters who are so close they still considered themselves sisters.

facts of life..had a lot here are some though

in second season jo said her father is turning 40 and then a couple eyars later he is turning 50

in first season blair says she a junior(i think) and then the next year shes a sophmore

in "the secret" jo starts to say how would he know.. but then she gets cut off by the audience laughter...

in "help from home" jo's ponytail was in her sweatshirt(the one she got from blair) and then 1 sec later it it was out of it

Yeah, That Boy Meets World thing got me all confused when I watched the show on Disney because I did not watch it when it was on but then when I see it on Disney there's an episode where they just make fun of eachother, and then an episode when they are together and talk about being with eachother since they were young.

I think every show has mistakes some are:

On Roseanne David's name when he was introduced to Roseanne was Kevin then it suddenly changed to David.

On the Munsters there was a seen where in the background a man was walking through there house.

1.) Seinfeld- In early episodes, George Costanza mentioned having a brother, later on George was an only child.

2.) The Odd Couple- One episode shows them becoming friends as children, another episode has them meet when they were on jury duty.
