16 Massive TV Show Errors, Plot Holes, And Inconsistencies That I Don't Understand How The Writers And Editors Didn't Catch

7 hours ago 6

Details in the early episodes of a TV series often change as the show goes on. Sometimes it's a change in the set because pilot episodes are often filmed months in advance from the rest of the first season. Sometimes the writers change a character's backstory once they figure out who they want the character to be. And sometimes, it's just a genuine error the writers made. Either way, here are some inconsistencies from the early episodes of TV shows that you probably missed:

1. In Season 1 of Boy Meets World, Shawn is said to have a sister named Stacy, but she's never mentioned again.

2. The Hecks have a completely different house in the first episode of The Middle compared to the rest of the show.

3. In the first episode of Euphoria, a portrait of Nate's family shows that he has two brothers. However, for the rest of the show, we only see and hear about him having one brother.

4. In the first season of Riverdale, Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead are stated to be sophomores, while it seems Cheryl is a senior. This is implied because it states that she's the senior captain of the cheerleading team, and her late twin brother Jason was in the same grade as Polly, who was said to be a senior. However, as the show goes on, we clearly learn Cheryl's actually a sophomore as well.

5. In the pilot of The Nanny, the Sheffields' home is slightly different than from the rest of the show. For example, the stairs and front door switched sides.

6. In Season 1 of The King of Queens, Carrie mentions that she and Doug knew each other in junior high. But a flashback in Season 2 shows them meeting for the first time at a nightclub when Doug was a bouncer.

7. In the first episode of Living Single, Khadjiah, Régine, and Synclaire's brownstone apartment is totally different from the one they live in for the rest of the series.

8. On Golden Girls, Harold Gould played two different characters. In Season 1 he played Rose's boyfriend, Arnie...

...And in Season 5 through the end of the show, he played Miles, a professor Rose dates.

9. The main characters on The O.C. did their junior year of high school twice (seasons 1 and 2) and it was never acknowledged.

10. In the Gossip Girl pilot episode, Chuck said something about taking his mom's pills, but later in the show it’s revealed that she died during childbirth.

11. Carrie had a sister named Sara in the early episodes of The King of Queens. She disappeared sometime in the first season and was never mentioned again.

12. Topanga had a sister named Nebula in Season 1 of Boy Meets World, but she was never mentioned again, and later on Topanga was referred to as an only child.

13. In Season 1, Episode 7 of Riverdale, Fred and FP talk about being in a band together during their senior year of high school. However, in Season 3, Alice states that members of the Midnight Club were no longer friends after playing Gryphons and Gargoyles their junior year.

14. Also, in Season 1 of Riverdale, FP says that Fred started the band in senior year, but Alice also states in Season 3 that Fred gave up music in junior year after the events of the Midnight Club.

15. ALSO in Season 1 of Riverdale, Fred says that the band he started his Senior Year was called The Fred Heads, but in Season 3, we see that during Fred's junior year, the Fred Heads had already been formed.

16. And finally, on That '70s Show, Donna had a younger sister, Tina, that made an appearance once in the first season. Later in the show, Donna was referred to as an only child.
