During the series there were many inconsistancies, bloopers, blunders, pratfalls, mistakes, faults and goofs made by both the actors/actressess and writers; and in this section we'll highlight on them. Each blooper includes episode title and description.

  • In the episode "Rough Housing" near the end of the credits Arnold knocks over a cup off punch on the table, Willis instantly jumps out of the way and Kimberly wipes off her sweater. Photographic Evidence

However, for the remainder of the episode the mole is no longer visible. The make-up artists have concealed in one frame, and it is completely visible in another!
