Episode Goofs
 
Dana is on her way out for a date when Carol stops her to question her about the date. Dana avoids mentioning one particular fact, that the guy is 36 (to her 19). This secret is soon blown by Al when she bursts through the front door and blurts it out in front of Frank and Carol. Not sure why she didn't first look to make sure the parental units weren't around
 
In the opening scene with Cody making his movie, he hands out assignments to all of the family members without mentioning who would be the camera man. Even calling for action, with the video camera sitting idle on the counter.
