** Jessie can’t be successful, one episode tried to say she couldn’t sing but we see other episodes that she’s a great singer. Making a music video with an original song she wrote, her performance (and possible music video) with Austin Moon wouldn’t make her Hannah Montana level famous but people would take notice and want to work with her.
*** However we can’t have that because the show can’t show her succeed (outside of some TV specials) so she switches over to acting. Because we don’t see her act that much the show can say she sucks at it, explaining why she doesn’t get any acting work, leaving her stuck as a nanny.

** Such as the time they sabotaged her chance to go to a concert because she only had one wristband (which was hers; they weren't entitled to it in the first place) and couldn't take her or when she has a date with a guy but they sabotage it. Those seem like terrible, bratty actions and I wouldn't put up with it. They're so selfish and they literally don't care about what she wants.

** Odds are there is a floor in the building that had another elevator to the penthouse you’d need a key for. However no one guards that floor and keys to it can be easily made which would explain how random people get inside their house.

* In One Day Wonders, Luke helps Jessie perform her song because nearby people are giving her money for unintentionally busking and he wants some of it. But given that his allowance is several times her salary, he should have no interest in small amounts of currency.

** In Are You Cooler then a 5th Grader, it is shown that Ravi and Luke attend the same school. It is known that students who excel academically can skip grades so they can be taught at their intellectual level. Since Ravi is highly intelligent, it would not be unexpected that he is a grade skipper.

** Yes, but there is a very specific episode ("Badfellas," I think) with Jessie and Zuri in the park together, when they see Emma, who is skipping school. Jessie is with Zuri, who is 7 years old and should definitely be in school at that point. So are we just supposed to believe that Zuri (and only Zuri) had the day off, or a half-day, or what? (And please note that this was before she was ever shown in a classroom.)

Why didn't he just blame the bear on his baby sister? I mean, it's good to see the boys bonding, but when they have two sisters who probably both have stuffed animals(though only Zuri's acknowledged as having them), why didn't at least Ravi think of using that excuse?
* In "Somebunny's in trouble" why doesn't Emma recognize Luke's phone number? She finds a number in her boyfriend's pocket, calls it & is Surprised when Luke picks up. Why? Shouldn't she know her brother's cell number?
