- GoofsBarney is driving Ted's mother to the airport in 2006 even though in season 2 (happens in 2007) Barney was terrified of driving.
- Quotes
Inspector: All right. Good news: Think we'll be out of here early.
Ted Mosby: Really?
Inspector: Yeah. I finished downstairs and the outside. Now, I could keep looking and see what else I can find besides the black mold, the damaged retaining wall, the frayed electrical wires, the lead paint, the water damage, the fire damage, the sun damage, the broken furnace, the rotted floor boards. Hey, look at that- no termites.
Ted Mosby: Oh!
Inspector: The cracked chimney, the bats, the rats, the spiders, the raccoons, the hobo, the detached gutter, the outdated fuse box and the paint job in the kitchen which is fine - but the trim really clashes with the counter tops. Or, I could just recommend that you do not buy this godforsaken, Guantanamo Bay of a house and suggest that we all get our asses out of here before a medium-sized wind blows the whole son-'-bitch down.
Ted Mosby: What if I already bought the "son-'-bitch"?
Inspector: I will check out the upstairs...
[walks out laughing hysterically]
Marshall Eriksen: Did he say he found a hobo?

But this episode is one of the first in the series to prove that it's so much more than just a sitcom - that a very special show is before you and yet to reveal itself in its entirety. This is due to CBS giving the writers and creators so much freedom to do what they wanted with their show. And it proved magical. Sometimes the network executives just need to back off and allow the younger talent time and freedom. You just might get something amazing.
