Errors

When Gripe questions Botham on the legitimacy of selling riverbed rocks as moon rocks, Gripe's jacket is white like his shirt.
As Botham is telling Gripe they'll sell the Addams garbage, Gripe's jacket is missing.
When Botham says to Morticia, "No, not that crater," his mouth isn't moving.
When Botham says, "Oh, please, don't mention it," and Gripe adds, "Yeah, to anybody," their words are coming out of each other's mouths.
Cousin Itt (who's actually in this episode for a change) has gloved hands.
