Drake and Josh (2004)

Five Minutes to Doom - S2-E1

Visible crew/equipment: Lois and Clark are in the car when Clark finds a bomb in the backseat. He throws himself and the bomb from the car, and it explodes. When Lois stops the car to see if he is okay, virtually the entire crew is reflected in the side of the car - the camera operator, the man with the boom mike, and several others. (00:12:15)

The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Revealing mistake: When everyone is still in the poppy field, after the snowstorm, Dorothy says "Look. Emerald City is closer and prettier than ever." Look behind the Lion just as Dorothy says the word "City" and you'll see that the wire attached to his tail brushes over the top of some of the poppies, knocking the snow off. (00:57:15)

Is There a Doctor in the House? - S1-E13

Audio problem: When Mike walks into the kitchen and sees the chart with the list of kids on it and what ailments they've had, he comments on one of the ailments, saying "None of the kids have had distemper." However, if you watch his mouth, he appears to have originally said "rabies."

Hi Diddle Riddle (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: While the unconscious Robin is being carried away from the Batmobile by one of Riddler's thugs, his cape loosens and appears to completely fall off just before they exit the frame. In the next shot, Robin is still being carried away but his cape is securely back in place.

Batman (1966)

Trivia: Lucy was played by Liliana Mumy, who is the daughter of Bill Mumy who was in the 1960s TV show "Lost In Space." In the kid-friendly commentary, this is referred to but not directly stated; the filmmakers merely remark on the resemblance.

Trivia: The cartoon sequence that's shown while Roy is hallucinating, is based on a Saturday morning cartoon called 'The Brady Kids' which ran from 1972 to 1974. The pandas were named Ping and Pong while the myna bird was named Marlon.

Continuity mistake: The note that Susan wrote to Santa Claus changes in writing style between the time it's first shown and the time her mother signs it seconds later - the words "Yours Truly, Susan" are written completely differently the second time. (01:23:30)
