The Shattered Idol - S4-E10

Revealing mistake: Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) spends a night in North Fork while the wheel of a stagecoach he is riding in is being repaired. Clemens is fishing at a lake and Mark McCain says, "You've caught a fish " Clemens tells the boy to reel in the fish. The boy jerks the rod and pulls the fish out of the water. The fish is obviously a fake which a stagehand had attached to the hook. The fish is motionless and is not even wet.

Mindy Loves Josh - S4-E4

Revealing mistake: When Josh is telling Drake that Mindy told him she loves him and when Josh slaps Drake near the end of the scene, it is really obvious that Josh is slapping air. His hand is at least 6 inches away from Drake's head and yet they play the sound effect for a slap.

Secrets - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: It is strange that the news coverage at the beginning of this episode is able to cover the story from all angles in such rapid succession: from the helicopter straight to the ground, then even a close-up of the goon atop the crystal mount Diamondhead traps him on.

7th Heaven picture

Show generally

Revealing mistake: Throughout the entire series there is one staircase upstairs and two downstairs. And, they more than likely are not the same staircase because the two downstairs are on opposite ends of the house.
