Continuity

It's raining outside. Dorothy comes in the house and says "it's really coming down", then shakes her coat off although it's not wet. Then Stan shows up with an umbrella that's not wet. Then Sophia's brother Angelo shows up and isn't wet either.
When Stan lays down on the floor, the pillow he lays on is slightly far away from the nightstand, causing the top of his head and arms to be a little off the pillow. When the camera zooms into his face, his pillow is suddenly pushed up against the nightstand. The camera zooms out again, and the pillow is like it was before. Then the camera zooms in again, and the pillow is pushed up against the side table once more.
Uncle Angelo is stopping in Miami to wish Dorothy and Stan a happy 40th wedding anniversary. We know that Stan and Dorothy were married for 38 years when they were divorced because it is mentioned numerous times during the show. At the beginning of the show Stan had already been gone for 2 yrs. So how can they be married 40 years in this episode it should have been around 44 years.

Factual errors

When Rose is rehearsing lines in "The Sound of Music" with Blanche, she sets up the scene as "running from the Von Trapp house , yelling 'The Nazis are coming! The Nazis are coming!" In the script of this musical, however, none of the nuns ever say such a line , nor are any of them in the Von Trapp house.
Sophia's brother Angelo claims that, in 1914, he promised their mother on her deathbed that he would become a priest, and Sophia says she promised she would marry someone else - and we assume she died before Sophia or Angelo got married to their spouses. However, during the 1950s flashback scene in Mother's Day (1988), Sophia's mother is featured (played by Bea Arthur) along with Sophia's husband Sal. Also, when discussing Sophia's mother in the episode The Days and Nights of Sophia Petrillo (1988), Dorothy says her grandmother lived to be 94 years old.
This episode aired In February. If the show itself also takes place in February there would not be a Hurricane. Hurricane season in Miami is June 1- November 30.
Uncle Angelo --- played by Bill Dana --- states that he and the lovely waitress Philomena --- whom he'd met on his way to the seminary to train for the priesthood --- were married for 72 years, yet he himself was only in his mid-60's at the time of the episode's production. And even assuming that he'd become a widower just recently, he'd have had to have been nearly a hundred by then, since priests are generally not accepted till they're at least 25.

Miscellaneous

When Stanley brings up the first time he ever got kicked out of bed by Dorothy, during their time at the Honeymoon Hideaway in the Poconos, Edelman flubs his line by describing the cottages as 'April in Paris' as opposed to 'Paris in April'.

Character error

Uncle Angelo claims that he met the lovely waitress Philomena in 1914, and that they'd been married for 72 years, yet the year of the episode's production was 1985.
