The Big Heist - S4-E5

Trivia: Arnold is in court and the judge asks the family how they know him. Right after Mr. Drummond says "I'm his father", Willis says "I'm his brother" and puts emphasis on "brother." The reason for this was revealed on a blooper program; in an earlier take, just after actor Conraid Bain said "I'm his father", actor Todd Bridges blurted out "I'm his son."

My Baby Valentine - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: Just after Cory talks about being a "baby shower machine", Morgan walks past him. There's then a quick shot of Alan and then we see Cory again, and again Morgan walks past him. It's not the same shot from two different angles, as Cory is acting differently each time.

Boy Meets World (1993)

Season 5 generally

Other mistake: The opening credits for season 5 show June coming out of the front door with a pitcher of what looks like iced tea, and calling for Ward, Wally and Beaver who are all working outside. But the door opens by itself as she comes out, and then closes by itself behind her. If the entire family is outside, who opened and closed the door?

The Dramatic Club - S4-E24

Continuity mistake: When June is talking to Wally, she's wearing a wristwatch and her wedding ring on her left hand. But in a close-up shot of her hands while she's making a sandwich, her left hand is bare with no watch or ring. Back to the wide shot, and the watch and ring are on her hand again. (00:05:25)

I Love Lucy (1951)

I Love Lucy mistake picture

Redecorating - S2-E8

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode, when Ricky and Lucy walk into the bedroom to see the new wallpaper, look behind them when the bedroom door opens and you'll catch a glimpse of William Frawley - waiting for his cue - hiding behind a wall in the background before he ducks back out of sight.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Home Movies - S3-E19

Plot hole: Toward the end of the episode, when the spliced-together movie is shown, there are several scenes from the movie Lucy, Fred and Ethel shot, often showing all three of them on screen at the same time. The problem is that no one else was there with them, yet the camera follows them as they move around the room. Who was running their camera?

Beaver's Dance - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: There are a couple of continuity errors in the dance scene: First, the 4 girls sitting across from the boys switch positions from one shot to the next, then the last girl (long dark hair) disappears from the row of girls entirely, only to show up on the dance floor later in the scene. She was across from (and should have been paired up with) Beaver; instead, the teacher nods toward a now-empty chair and remarks that they "ran out of girls". (00:08:00)
