Revealing mistake: During the scene when Doug is "out with the boys" driving in Spence's car, you can tell they are actually in a studio using a green-screen because the stage lights reflecting off the car don't move. (00:36:00 - 00:36:35)
Other mistake: When Doug and Carrie go to visit the new neighbour, Jessica, Carrie tells her that they live at #8013; however many other episodes we see the numbers 3121 on the Heffernan's door and later learn that the Heffernan's live at 3121 Aberdeen Street in Rego Park. (00:28:35 - 00:29:35)

Party Favor - S2-E13
Visible crew/equipment: When Doug and Carrie are arguing about Danny coming over, you can see a stage light (not on) through the door window. We can also the neighbours garage, which we know from many outside shots of the Heffernan's backyard, is not that close to the house. (00:01:50)
Continuity mistake: When Doug is in the porta-potty you can see a tree outside the window to the left; however when Doug looks out the window we can see their are cars parked on the side where the tree was. (00:12:40)
Suggested correction: Not really, the shot where the tree can be seen is viewed from the front so the tree is actually behind the porta-potty to the left. The view to the cars is directly looking left.
Move Doubt - S8-E8
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode when Doug and Carrie are at Deacon and Kelly's apartment, you can see a picture on the wall in the hallway behind them.
