Gus error - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Forgive me if this has been said before. I think I found a little continuity problem concerning Gus. In "Sam's Women", a man comes in and asks for gus. Norm says Gus was TWO owners ago, and then Caoch reports that he's dead.
In episode "The Last Picutre Show" Gus comes back to tend bar for one night, and Sam tells everyone he bought the bar from Gus.
Ok, now, obviously they fouled up on Gus's livelyhood, but how could Sam have bought the bar from Gus if he was TWO owners before Sammy?

Oh yeah thats right! and Norm says in the last picture show that Gus was the last owner. I guess it was a typo mistake for the writers, but i mean "sams women" was the second episode and "the last picture show" was on the last season. It's an easy mistake considering it was almost 11 years apart.

True, they were far apart, but where would they pull 'Gus' from except "Sam's Women"? If they remembered him from that episode, they must've remembered what happened in that ep. I'm just confused on why they warped the whole Gus thing, instead of just making a new person for the previous owner. Hmm...

Another mistake is in "The Two Faces of Norm", Norm uses the alter ego of Anton Kreitzer. When aked how he thought of that name he told them that it was Vera's maiden name. In a later episode, Norm forgot what her name was. Not as bad as Gus but still.
