Arnold needs to pass a law or something in Lalaland..that every scripted television program needs to keep a show bible from DAY ONE.
I didn't watch Buffy (I didn't own a TV for the early seasons and didn't bother in the later..) but I understand that there were very, very few continuity issues with it because Whedon was anal about those things. (In CJ they gave Jordan two different birth dates which in and of itself wouldn't have been so bad..if the original birthday hadn't've had an ENTIRE FIRST SEASON MULTI-EPISODE ARC BASED ON IT)
I always thought BL would be one of the last to fall into this problem because I assumed Kelly worked on all the scripts.
BL's usually pretty good about it--ahahaha, in season one they off-handedly mentioned Alan co-habiting with a midget at some point, and they brought it up again in season three. This just...makes NO sense (and DEK has a writing credit for the ep, too). Even if they've decided to ignore everything that happened on The Practice, one of the characters MENTIONED Alan's (erstwhile) pool on BL. And he still went fishing with Denny.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
And they didn't even attempt to explain it this time. At least we got some backstory about the clown phobia.
