Cocktail Talk: Continuity Errors in CBS’s All in the Family

If there’s one thing that’s true in this world, it’s that stupid, esoteric knowledge really impresses the ladies. For this reason, I keep pocketfuls of Snapple caps readily available when I go cruising for ass. Regardless, nothing is more stupid and esoteric than talking about continuity errors in All in the Family.
Fun Fact: It's not about how you look or how much money you have. The ladies just want to know about the bumblebees.

S1E8: Lionel Moves into the Neighborhood
In this episode, Archie catches wind that a black family is moving into the neighborhood. In a fashion typical to his character, Archie exhibits racism and ultimately looks like an ass at the end of the show. However, after the show comes back from the second commercial break, Archie is decked out in black face. This is clearly an error because Archie was white the prior seven episodes.

S3E27: The Elevator Story
Archie goes apeshit and shoots an elevator full of people. The first man Archie fires upon is shot in the right shoulder, but later in the autopsy report the bullet wound is clearly on the left shoulder.

S3E48: The Locket
Edith loses her antique locket that grants its wearer three wishes. Later in the episode, she finds it and uses it to grant not three wishes, but five.
