Step By Step (1991)
Starring: Brandon Call, Patrick Duffy, Staci Keanan, Suzanne Somers
Genres: Comedy
Crazy Love - S6-E1
Factual error: Carol and Frank leave for a romantic weekend and Dana begins to tutor Rich for a test in English Literature. When Frank and Carol return on Sunday Rich has not only studied for the test but also TAKEN the test and gotten the results back. How is that possible over a weekend?
Deliberate mistake: Lily was an infant for all of season 5, but beginning with this season, she is around 5 years old. The show didn't jump forward in time, because JT states in a season 5 episode that he is 19, and in the episode this season where he and Rich go to Mexico, he states that he is almost 20, as well as Al and Mark are both still in high school.

Visible crew/equipment: When they are taping the family, Carol gets mad and goes upstairs and the camera guy taping her tapes her going up the stairs and when he does, for a second, you can see where the set ends and all the lights.
Trivia: All of Rich and Dana's kids (in Dana's vision of their future) are named after their parents, save for one who Rich calls Ross.
Trivia: Angela Watson, who plays "pretty but dumb" Karen won the role in a beauty pageant.
Cody Lambert: Woah! A Canadian penny! Now I can buy bubble gum! That is, if I go to Canadia.
Jean-Luc: What do you think?
Carol Foster Lambert: I think you look like Barbara Eden from "I Dream Of Jeannie."
Jean-Luc: Well, I think you look like Crissy from "Three's Company".
Gabrielle, Mark's girlfriend: Be still, my heart.
J.T: Be still, my lunch.
Question: Did they ever explain what happened to Brendan, who was missing this season?
Question: Who is the brunette kid in the yellow shirt in the beginning? It's supposed to be Marc but it's not.
Answer: From what I've read, the kid in question was the original actor cast to play Mark and was intended be closer in age to Brendan. For whatever reason, they recast the role with Christopher Castile and didn't bother removing the original actor from the beginning of the opening credits. I guess they figured people would just assume the kid was one of Brendan's friends.

Answer: According to the SBS website, Brendan's disappearance was never really explained. He just kind of faded out. He was hired as the cute "little" one and as he got older he wasn't as cute. When the Lamberts had the little girl, they got their cuteness factor back and didn't need as many kids around.
