Episode Goofs
Continuity: When Stuart (Kenny's dad) and Gerald (Kyle's dad) are going on their fishing trip, Gerald says that it's Saturday, but in the next scene, Kyle is shown to be in school (usually in American schools, there are no sessions on Saturdays and Sundays).

In the end of the show, when all four kids are in hospital beds, Kenny dies when he flatlines. However, when the shot pulls back to all four beds, Kenny's heart monitor still shows signs of life.
