Continuity mistake: After Conway Twitty finishes his song, the scene cuts back to Perter and his family at the kitchen table. Take notice that Lois is sitting next to the back door, and Brian is sitting next to the kitchen sink and window.

Later as Lois, Brian and Peter are discussing OJ Simpson, the sink, widow and door return.
