Goofs

Francine is sitting on the bench with Muffy and Prunella and has wearing a green bow on her chest to hide the ketchup stain she got on her dress. When the shot goes over to Arthur and then back to Francine, there is no bow and no stain where the bow was. The shot then goes back to Arthur and when we see Francine again, the bow is back on her chest.

When Francine and Muffy first arrive at the Salon de Beauté, Francine's bike was not present. Later, when they walk out, it mysteriously appears.

When Francine gets her picture taken the second she sits on the stool, her ribbon's loops are on top of her head. In the finalized photo, they are on the side of her head.

In Francine's kickball fantasy, after her prom dress disappears to reveal her gym clothes, she is still wearing the gloves throughout most of it. In the final shot of her fantasy where she is being carried by her teammates to celebrate their victory as a team, the gloves are gone.

When Muffy tosses her school photo into the recycling bin being shot in her perspective, it is empty while she tosses her unsatisfactory photo in it. When the camera angle changes to show Francine and Muffy, the recycling bin is shown overflowing with lots of papers.

When the Francine and Muffy first enter the beauty salon, the door swings from the inside. Minutes later when they walk out, it swings from the outside. However, doors like these should only be able to swing open and closed one way.

When browsing through hairstyles, Flossie pronounces the French word "au courant" (which means "current") with the "T" at the end being heard. In French, consonants at the end of the words are silent. The correct pronunciation of "au courant" is OH-koo-RAH.

Francine supposedly "outs" 4th grader Patrick when she catches the ball after getting off the bench so she can play, despite Muffy's objections on keeping her hair nice. Technically, an out cannot count if the person from the opposing team who catches it is not in the game; so Patrick's observation that Francine wasn't playing is accurate.

In the shot of Francine and her reflection in the closet door mirror when her mother calls her from outside the bedroom about the scheduled kickball game, the locations between herself and her reflection are inconsistent with each other.

Just as Francine sits on the stool to get her picture taken, it is obvious that the photographer clicked the camera a tad too early before she had time to relax her hands.

When Arthur and Francine trade each other their own school photos, Francine's eyebrows suddenly disappear.

The dress that Francine wears later on for Picture Day, when it is first shown, Muffy says that it has a small rip in it, but the dress has no rip visible on it.

Just right before Francine leaps off the bench and catches the ball and decides to join into the game, she turns her face towards Prunella whom notices the ball coming towards them.

The beehive hairstyle that Flossie suggested as "au courant" was in vogue during the 1960s. The computer Flossie is using to browse through hairstyles is 1990s technology - decades after the beehive hairstyle went out of style by the early 1970s.

At the Salon de Beauté, Francine gets her picture taken and Flossie browses through hairstyle options for Francine - which still use Francine's face. Back in 1996 at the time this episode aired, touching up photographs via computer software took time to do then and did not have the technology to rely on AI-generated capabilities like the present day since AI (Artificial Intelligence) went mainstream in 2023.

The fictional city of Elwood City that is the setting for the series in general is in the United States, but the majority of characters speak with Canadian accents due to most of them being voiced by Canadian voiceovers.

In the pilot episode "Arthur's Eyes" where Arthur does not wear glasses, Muffy is his classmate. Several episodes later is Muffy's introduction, where Arthur does have glasses.

In the intro when Arthur talks about the do's and don'ts of Picture Day, Binky is shown to be allergic to flowers. In later episodes, including the Season 9 episode "Binky Goes Nuts", he is only shown to be allergic to nuts. In the musical number "Library Card" from the Season 3 episode "Arthur's Almost Live, Not Real Music Festival", he is shown to love flowers hence the lyrics that he likes books with pictures and lots of pretty flowers.
