** In "Rise and Shine," the show cuts away to black shortly after Clarence sees the mountain lion and mistakes it for a bear. The scene cuts back in later, repeating the last few seconds before that pause. It's a parody of ad-cuts and how they can lead to inconsistencies like this if the breaks are removed or just not done right, but it still feels a little unusual and [[PaintingTheMedium more fourth wall-y]] than the rest of the series.
