Friends Season 5 Episode 3

Factual Error: When Phoebe's doctor requests the TV be turned on, the Happy Days theme is playing, and the doctor mentions it is the episode where Fonzie plays the bongos. The episode mentioned is "Fonzie Joins the Band" from the second season. However, that Happy Days theme was not used until the series' third season. During the first two seasons of Happy Days the opening theme was "Rock Around the Clock" performed by Bill Haley & His Comets. (Although the DVD release of the second season of Happy Days replaced "Rock Around the Clock" with the Happy Days theme song, it shouldn't air that way in syndication.)

Goof: At the beginning when Phoebe asks someone to call Frank and Alice, and her mom, Ross searches his pockets. But when the camera angle changes, his hands are down by his side.

Goof: When Phoebe asks for a minute alone with the triplets, the camera angle shows a closeup of the babies and the two girl are right next to each other. When the shot changes, the middle baby is positioned much higher.

Factual error: When Joey is in pain, he grabs his back. However, the doctor says that the kidney stones are close to the bladder. His pain would actually be in the groin area.

Trivia: The name of one of Phoebe's doctors is Dr. Oberman. In "The One with the Sonogram at the End" Carol's doctor is also named Dr. Oberman.

Goof: When Frank is on the phone right before Rachel talks to him, he says "And I love YOU" to the person on the other side, in such a way that we assume he's talking to Alice. But then he tells Rachel that it was Alice's mother on the phone. Why would he tell Alice's mother that he loves her in such a way?

Goof: When one of the babies is being born and the camera is facing Phoebe, you can see the baby under the cover before it's born.

Trivia: During the ten seasons of Friends, Lisa Kudrow was the only female cast member to have a child, yet her character of Phoebe was the only female character to not become a mother. And Matt LeBlanc was the only male cast member to have a child, yet his character of Joey was the only male character to not become a father.

Continuity: Phoebe got pregnant in January. Ross's wedding was in May and the birth of the triplets is supposed to be shortly after. So Phoebe's pregnancy stretched no further than January to June, which is only six months.
