Other mistake: When Deborah is helping Ray write a eulogy for Uncle Gus, she is typing phrases Ray can use in his speech, but her keyboard strokes don't match her words.

Everybody Loves Raymond (1996)
Revealing mistake: Marie brings a covered cake to Raymond's for Robert's intervention, but it's obvious there is no cake on the plate because her dress is visible through the dome covering the cake plate.

Bonanza (1959)
The Gentleman from New Orleans - S5-E18
Revealing mistake: They are trying to find where Jean Lafitte is hiding. Thinking that he is behind the drapes which cover a window, two bullets are fired into the drapery. The bullets should have shattered the window, but when they look behind them (and he is not there) the window and the frame are untouched.

I Dream of Jeannie (1965)
The Incredible Shrinking Master - S2-E24

Everybody Loves Raymond (1996)
Factual error: Robert's voyeuristic neighbors are using the same elevator as Robert does and tease him about seeing him and Amy through his bedroom window. But if they were able to see into his bedroom, they would not be using that elevator; it would be in another building. From the outside shot of his apartment building, it would be impossible to look into his bedroom.

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting - S8-E21
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the meeting participants are in the kitchen, the Russian guy opens the icebox, does not close it, and sits at the table. When Aunt Bee comes in immediately thereafter, the door is closed. She opens it again and partially closes it; but in the next shot, it is fully open.
Suggested correction: The first part of the mistake is correct. However, after Aunt Bee partially closes it, if you keep your eyes on the left side of the screen where the ice box is and watch carefully, you can see the ice box actually bounces back open fully on its own.

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Goober Goes to an Auto Show - S8-E22
Factual error: Goober and the Taylors stop and get gas in Raleigh before heading back to Mayberry. As they are waiting, a Coors Brewing Company truck is seen driving past the service station. Coors Beer was not sold east of the Mississippi River until the mid-1980s.

Everybody Loves Raymond (1996)
Continuity mistake: In the last scene where everybody is in Ray's living room, the strap on Georgia Engel's purse keeps changing positions from hanging from her left shoulder to across her chest. Finally, when both her hands are occupied trying to light a match, her purse slips from her shoulder to her bent elbow. In the next shot, her hands are still not free, but the purse strap is on her shoulder again.

Behind her, Mark is in front of the fireplace. When Tony comes home within minutes, the bar is next to the front door and the bottles are rearranged.
3rd Sep 2010
To Catch a Thief (1955)
Continuity mistake: When Cary Grant is on the speedboat, he is wearing a red polka-dot scarf at his neck. The position of the scarf changes from shot to shot, as evidenced by the dots rearranging themselves.
