Missing Links - S4-E17

Character mistake: When Carrie finds Tina, she mentions the "stuff" that Tina listens to at work, and Tina tells her that it's salsa. We know from previous episodes that Carrie likes salsa dancing, so shouldn't she know salsa music?

Show generally

Other mistake: On the exterior front shots of the house you see the front door with three vertical windows. But on the interior shots it is just one window.

Friender Bender - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: When Doug, Carrie, Deacon and Kelly are at Coopers, the man in the blue shirt who is talking to the women sitting at the table behind them appears, disappears, walks off and then reappears again during this scene. (00:08:20 - 00:10:40)

The Minister

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When the guys are watching the game in Doug's bedroom, we see a shot of the TV. If you look closely you can see in the reflection that no-one is on the bed. (00:13:00)

Tank Heaven - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Danny has just taken the "nucleus" nacho chip, after Carrie walks in, the chip in Danny's hand keeps changing between shots, then disappears altogether almost instantly and his arms are folded when he begins his next line. (00:02:30 - 00:03:25)

The Minister

Queasy Rider - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Arthur starts telling Doug about when he had a bike, you can see the tv gets switched off. However neither Doug or Arthur turn it off as both of their hands are in screen and the remote is on the table. (00:14:30)

Fixer Upper - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: In "Richie's Song" Doug asks Spence if the M&Ms Spence found under the seat in the car are regular or peanut, Spence answers peanut, and Spence then eats them. In this episode, Spence somehow isn't allergic to peanuts. (00:08:10)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In front shots of the house you see that the garage is in the front and opens to the street, but the garage door is behind the house entirely. It seems to open in a back alley or private entrance way. The way it is shown in establishing shots, it can not be open to the front street at the front of the house.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In many episodes, scenes are shot on the front porch. It is often shown as a large porch that spans a great deal of the front of the house. But shots of the house exterior from a distance show a small set of stairs with very little space near the door. This isn't a porch on the back of the house as it has been shown to only be door to a small yard.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the pilot episode, we see out of Doug's bedroom window and there is a very sizable gap from their window to the next house. However in later episodes, it's only a couple of feet to the next house.

Window Pain - S5-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Doug gets into their Jeep after meeting the new neighbours, a man and the backstage can be seen in the passenger side mirror. When the shot cuts back to Doug again it's darker but when he backs up, the reverse lights of the Jeep reveal the man and stage again. (00:26:55)

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know if Carrie and Doug had a baby on the show? And also was it just me, or was Carrie pregnant in real life in one season, and they did not write it into the show, or did she just gain a lot of weight?

Answer: To answer the question directly. Carrie and Doug do not have a biological child during the show's main run. In season 3 or 4 finale (cant remember which) Carrie has a miscarriage. Later on in the show they find out Carrie has 1 working ovary. Thus reducing the chance of them conceiving. By the final season, they couple agree to adopt from China and go to collect their child in the show's final episode. While on the flight back from China it's revealed that Carrie is once again pregnant. However the last scene of the show is a flash forward showing that Carrie goes full term with that child and they are struggling with both kids.

Answer: Leah Remini was not pregnant in real life at the time of the series finale in 2007. Her daughter was born in summer 2004 and it was obvious she gained weight and wore larger clothes during that season. So no, her real pregnancy was not written into the show.

Answer: They did have a baby in the series finale. They actually adopted a baby from China, and then at the same time they found out she was pregnant. She was pregnant in real life, but they just covered her up, as much as they could, during the filming of the show.
