Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jake's dad slams down the glass of liquor onto the table, in the first shot, his hand is a solid foot away from the edge of the table. But when the camera cuts, it's suddenly over the top of the table and slamming the glass down.

Continuity mistake: When Jake's dad sets down the bottle of liquor in the close-up shot after the talent show, the bottle is quite full, with the liquor level being right under the little insignia on the bottle. When it cuts to the wide shot, suddenly there's less liquor in the bottle, with the liquid being about 2-3" below the insignia.

Continuity mistake: When Junior and Lexy walk away from Jake in the school hallway (right after Lexy asks if Jake needs money), in the first shot, there's nobody behind them. But in the next shot, suddenly two people are right behind them.

Audio problem: When Jake gets to school, a kid tells him his Good Guy doll is "cool." Jake asks if he wants to buy it, and the kid replies, "No thanks." But his mouth isn't moving. (The shot cuts while he's saying it, but you can tell his mouth isn't moving.)

Continuity mistake: When Jake grabs Chucky from under the bed, right after his dad destroys his sculpture, in the high-angle wide shot, there appears to be a piece of debris from the statue about a foot away from Chucky, but it disappears when the scene cuts to a close-up of Jake grabbing Chucky.

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lucas destroys Jake's statue, there's a high-angle shot where he throws the baseball bat onto the floor. A few shots pass and we see another high-angle shot and the debris on the floor is slightly different. (Likely from two different takes of him destroying the statue and throwing the bat down.)

Other mistake: When we see the close-up of the newspaper headline that says "Ray Parents Slain" at the start of the episode, look at the smaller articles on the close-up side of the screen—they're literally gibberish.

Death by Misadventure - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jake buys Chucky at the beginning of the episode, as it cuts back and forth between Jake's angle and the homeowner's angle, the way Jake is holding Chucky changes a few times. (Ex. In some shots, Jake is holding Chucky a few feet in front of him, in others he's holding Chucky right next to his chest, etc.)

Trivia: Serves as a direct continuation of the original film series, and ignores the 2019 reboot.

Answer: They were blamed for the death of Jake's foster brother, which was deemed a terrible accident, and they were sent to the reform school as a punishment. Presumably, when they had to leave the reform school given what happened, they were instead given community service as punishment.
