Season 3 Trivia

  • Episode 13 - Goof (continuity error): When Seth is talking to Summer, Seth is wearing a satchel on his left shoulder but at the end of the conversation there is no satchel at all
  • Episode 02 - Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Seth first talks about Taylor as if he has just met her and knows nothing about her. He later talks about her like he has known her for a long time. They have known each other since elementary school as shown in season 4.
  • Episode 06 - Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Marissa is at the beach with Johnny she asks where "Chili" is at. Johnny points out to a person wiping out on their surfboard but that person has blond hair, which does not match that of Chili's hair.
  • Episode 20 - Goof (continuity error): At the end when Marissa puts her sweatshirt in the wardrobe, the color of her nails is dark red, but when she hears Summer crying and puts her arm on her shoulder, there is no color on nails.
