** You're correct that he cannot confiscate their phone beyond the end of the school day, and has to return it before they leave campus, but a parent can easily get ahold of their child by calling the school.

** Riley's birthday is December 8th, 2001. If we assume that the airdate of the BMW finale roughly correlates to when they left for New York, then Riley would have been conceived just less than a year later. It's reasonable to assume that she wasn't planned, and that they decided to finish their educations before having another.

** Possibly, but the age gap could be easily explained by the fact that both Cory and Topanga would have had to attend graduate school after college; Topanga is a lawyer and would need a J.D., and Cory teaches middle/high school, which can be done with a four-year degree but it is highly preferred to have a Master's. It's plausible they'd both want to complete that before having a second child.

** There's no shortage of cars in NYC. It's very common for more affluent families with children to have cars because schlepping multiple children on and off the public transport is kind of a pain. Given the family lives near the Bleecker Street station, which is in Greenwich Village--a very expensive part of Manhattan--it is entirely plausible the Matthews are one of those families. It doesn't explain the school parking lot issue since most parking in the city is street parking, but it could just be phrasing. What ''is'' an oversight of the writers, however, is in the pilot, when a big deal is made over Riley getting her first MetroCard. Students in NYC receive a MetroCard to use public transport to get to school and they are distributed to all students in grades 7-12. Riley should already ''have'' one, not need to wheedle her parents for one.

** Most likely because they had already filmed scenes where he's spoken of as "Farkle", dubbing just wouldn't work, and a full reshoot with a classroom full of kids on limited work hours (and the extras probably attending regular school themselves) would've put the production behind schedule.

* In "Girl Meets Boy" Cory confiscates his whole classes' cellphones. How, exactly, is he allowed to do this? As far as I know (at least, this is the case in every school I've seen) teachers can only take their students' phones for the schoolday. What if the students need to get an emergency call?

** That cafeteria also clearly cannot fit 1000 students. It is possible (though maybe unlikely given that it's NYC) that the school has open lunch where students can go out of the school. Alternatively, they have multiple lunch periods (or even multiple cafeterias) so there is only a fraction of the total student body in the cafeteria at a time.

* Was Riley a bit of an Oops baby? At the beginning of the series, she's 12 and Auggie is 5, putting them 7 years apart, a fairly big gap in sibling ages. And if the time capsule was buried 15 years ago, and she's about 13 at that point, that is pretty young for Cory and Topanga to be having a baby considering they both finished college.

* More nitpicky than anything else, but in a throwaway joke, Turner pokes fun at Cory's "sensible sedan" in the school parking lot. Why, exactly, is there a parking lot in a school that's presumably smack in the middle of Manhattan (where parking is rare, if even available at all), and why does Cory even have or need a car to begin with when he and Topanga can just use the subway whenever they go out? It just really seems like an oversight on the part of the writers, as anyone who's lived in the city knows that owning a car isn't worth it in New York (save for parts of the outer boroughs, where driving is more feasible).
