Superstore (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Dina is eating the banana bread, she goes from holding most of a slice in her right hand in the shot looking at her, to holding a small chunk in her right hand in the shot from behind her, to having almost none left even though only four seconds have passed. (00:01:38)

Superstore (2015)
Revealing mistake: In the first shot of Glen walking and the cart collector following him, everything appears as normal, however when the camera cuts to a longer shot, everything is now mirrored. (00:04:52)
14th Apr 2021
New Girl (2011)
Audio problem: When Jess is trying to find the binder and says "I want to quit, god do I want to quit, but I can't, I can't!", her dialog does not match her mouth movements. (00:14:28)

The Good Place (2016)
The Snowplow - S3-E3
Factual error: When Chidi activates the superboard, one of the items under Local News is "Rep. Sackett indicted on 231 counts of fraud." Lower house members aren't referred to as Representatives in Australia, the correct title would be MP. (00:09:13)
19th Feb 2021
The Good Place (2016)
Factual error: As Eleanor walks in the corridor to Chidi's office at St. John's University, there's an exit sign mounted in the ceiling above her - a North American style red Exit sign. As she is in Australia, it should either a white on green Exit sign or an international "running man" style sign, as North American style signs were never legal in Australia. (00:20:55)

The Nanny (1993)
Visible crew/equipment: As Fran and Grace enter the room, the boom mic is briefly visible at the top of the frame. (00:05:07)
6th Oct 2020
Bones (2005)
The Murder in the Middle East - S10-E19
Continuity mistake: In all shots of Cam talking on her phone to Arastoo after the first, what's on the bottom of the phone is different to the first. Later, when she has the phone is on the table, what was on the bottom in the later shots is at the top of the phone, suggesting at some point she started talking on it upside down. (00:02:53 - 00:04:05)

Frasier (1993)
The Botched Language of Cranes - S2-E6
Plot hole: Several times throughout the show, it's bought up that there is a seven second delay on Frasier's show at KACL, which, among other things, would allow Roz to "dump" the last seven seconds of what's been said and prevent it from being broadcast. When Roz notices that Frasier is still on the air during his rant, it takes her about nine seconds to get back to her console, so she should have been able dump the last seven seconds of his rant, leaving only the first few words of Frasier's rant (likely no more than "Good Grief, have you...") going to air, which would be much less awkward compared to his entire rant. (00:09:20 - 00:09:50)
15th Jun 2018
The Newsroom (2012)
Continuity mistake: The stock footage of the airplane that Don, Sloan and Elliot are on is of a Boeing 747, a very large widebody plane. However, the internal shots of the plane suggest that it is actually a much smaller narrow body plane. (00:13:55)

Frasier (1993)
Something About Dr. Mary - S7-E16
Audio problem: After Mary says "Except I bet you didn't walk through a metal detector to get to class", Frasier in that shot does not move his mouth in line with the dialog that he speaks, but instead appears to be laughing. Additionally in the next shot, although his mouth now matches his dialog, he is half way out of his seat despite being sat in it in the previous shot. (00:02:15)
16th Dec 2016
Gilmore Girls (2000)
Just Like Gwen and Gavin - S6-E12
Continuity mistake: When Lane spins the Doggy Swami wheel, the number 5 is at the top, and Lorelai removes the piece of paper under it. When it changes to the close up shot, the wheel now has the number 20 at the top with the piece of paper under it drawn. (00:40:15)

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Dick Puts the Id in Cupid - S5-E11
Other mistake: While talking to his therapist, Dick tells her that one of the mishaps that he caused in his relationship with Mary was showing up to a fundraiser naked. While true, this doesn't happen until Episode 13 (Rutherford Beauty) - two episodes later. This was due to the fact that most of Season 5 was aired out of production order.
Suggested correction: The show was produced in the right order, so this isn't a mistake. Being aired out of order isn't a mistake of the show. It should be noted that for each of the 6 season, episodes were constantly aired out of order.

3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)
Trivia: Dick is never seen walking in this episode and is only in an upright position when he moves from the chair in the lounge room to the wheelchair in the opening scene. This is because John Lithgow hurt his ankle playing tennis, and the episode was written to allow him to be in a wheelchair for the entire episode.
20th Feb 2013
Will & Grace (1998)
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Grace shows Will the new apartment for the first time, you can see the boom microphone pop into the top of the frame several times.
13th Apr 2012
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)
Factual error: As is typical for Star Trek maps of the world, New Zealand is missing from Dr. Noah's map of the world before anything is flooded. The Australian state of Tasmania is missing as well. (00:40:45)
4th Oct 2011
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)
Doctor Bashir, I Presume? - S5-E16
Character mistake: In the scene in Sisko's office where he has contacted Rear Admiral Bennett, Bennett says "Two hundred years ago, we tried to improve the species through DNA resequencing, and what did we get for our trouble? The Eugenics Wars." This puts the wars in the 22nd century, and differs from every other mention of them, where they occurred in the late 20th century, not the 22nd century as Bennett implies. (00:39:30 - 00:40:00)

Frasier (1993)
Match Game - S11-E18
Continuity mistake: The scene where Charlotte comes to Frasier in the restaurant to tell Frasier his date has cancelled is poorly edited between shots. Watch the folder once she has pulled it out: in almost every shot, the side facing the camera changes, and when Charlotte gets up, it disappears completely.
