Frankie Muniz, Justin Berfield, Bryan Cranston, and Erik Per Sullivan in Malcolm in the Middle (2000)

Goofs

Malcolm in the Middle

Edit

Continuity

In the preamble sketch, Reese drops a chicken bone to the plate twice.
In the closeup of Lois in the car when she pulls out of the parking lot, you can see from the background through the window as the couple walk by the car, that she comes to a complete stop. The 1st surveillance tape shows her just driving out onto the road without slowing down. The 2nd tape shows her making a rolling stop just before pulling out onto the road.
The first surveillance tape shows a car behind Lois pulling out slamming the brakes. The second tape shows the car in question doing a U turn right behind Lois' car, seen from an angle the first video didn't show. So the first video should have shown said car going the opposite way before the U turn. It did not. The car going the opposite way before is missing in the first video.

Revealing mistakes

Obvious stunt doubles for malcom and reese when they dive at the chicken leg under the chair.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

When Craig says that Lois was right, his mouth is not moving.

Character error

Lois describes the cop pulling her over on false charges as "a classic case of entrapment." That is not what entrapment is.
