Continuity Errors Abound

Re-filming is expensive and many TV shows at the time didn’t employ full-time continuity directors. Here’s a perfect example from Season 3, Episode 3: While Jess is up in a tree the new mayor is nearly attacked by a bear, so he starts climbing up the same tree. In the shot of the bear rushing toward the camera, its animal trainer can clearly be seen releasing the animal. The show must go on, as they say, and the scene was never re-filmed.
