I'm kinda new to this PF board. One of my fave pastimes is looking over PF episodes for mistakes. Anyone notice any?
I now I'm weird but, oh well.

In the pilot, there's a scene where the family is on stage at Caesar's Palace, and the kids have stage fright. Shirley tries to talk them out of it, asking them to pretend that they're playing in their garage, "all five of us." But Shirley plus five kids equals six people, not five. She should have either said "all six of us" or "all five of you."

In the ep when Ruben nearly got married Shirley said, right to him, he didn't like baseball and he didn't contradict her. In a later ep he acts like he's loved baseball his whole life long.

Shirley's dad goes from being Fred Renfrew to Walter Renfrew.

In one ep Laurie gets braces. In a later ep she claims she had braces when she was just a little girl.

In the show where the Partridges perform at an Indian reservation, Reuben gets lost and meets an Indian. Reuben says, "My descendents came over here on the Mayflower". The Indian says, "My descendents met them". Quite a trick, since Reuben didn't have any kids yet, and the Indian I think had a young son. No way their kids and grandkids, etc, could've been around in the 17th century anyway.

In a third season ep Danny has baseball cards and talks a good deal about the players. In a fourth sreason ep Danny claims he has no interest in baseball (like he never did). Also in another third season ep Danny had an old baseball uniform in a fourth season he plays baseball for the first time ever.

Could she have thought the air-guitar skills of Chris and triangle-playing of Tracy combined meant one band member?

Chris played the drums.

In the Hamster ep the Partridges are in the studio recording "24 hours a Day".The camera has the band in a full shot,then begins to zoom in on Keith,but before Danny is out of frame he drops the neck of his Ovation Typhoon bass and begins distractedly scratching his face.
