Goofs:
Factual errors: At Angela's and Jamie's confirmation ceremony, the parish priest is administering the sacrament. A parish priest would not normally administer this sacrament to young people who are receiving confirmation at the normal age: a bishop would administer confirmation. Parish priests only administer the sacrament of confirmation to converts, and only then when no bishop is available.

Angela Delvecchio: [in disbelief] I'm a teenage girl with shoulder-length hair and we have a Nova.
Jill: [chuckles] Don't be ridiculous, Angie, nobody's gonna suspect you. You're, like, the nicest girl in Santa Mira.

Kellie Martin did a masterful job playing the role of an awkward teenage girl desperately yearning for acceptance from the "In" crowd in high school. Two scenes that totally sold me on how convincing the role of Angela was played was when Angela was being dropped off for the ski trip and, in front of the other kids, Angela's mother goes to clean Angela's face with a handkerchief. Embarrassed, Angela moves her mother's arm and storms off to collect her bag. As Angela lifts her bag, she looks back to her mother and gives her a classic "Why did you do that, mom?" look that I think only Kellie Martin can make convincing. Finally, after being initiated by the Larks, Angela and the other girls go off driving looking for guys to kiss. Angela gets snubbed as she attempts to kiss an elder gentlemen sitting in his car. Reflecting on her public humiliation, Angela has a heart to heart talk with her sister about her wanting to be someone else. Kellie Martin played the role masterfully!
