Family Pride - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, rear-screen projection footage behind the stagecoach shows a landscape covered with trees. When Crippen points out the mountains, we see an expanse of completely treeless desert. In the next shot, the trees have returned.

Train of Darkness - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: The miniature train used in all the night shots (it passes the same artificial mountainside several times), is pulling three passenger cars and no baggage car. When the full size train arrives at the station the next day, it has a baggage car and only one passenger car.

Continuity mistake: The windows in Miss Brody's classroom seem to have minds of their own. The one she admonishes a student to lower to six inches closes itself completely a few shots later. Another, in a later scene, reduces the amount it is open by several inches between takes.

Bat Masterson (1958)

Season 7 generally

Continuity mistake: Because episodes were not aired in production order, both Lynda Day George (whose character is said to be on a prolonged assignment in Europe) and Greg Morris' mustache appear, disappear and re-appear throughout the seventh season.

Bat Trap - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: During the street fight, Gene Barry's stunt double wears a shaggy wig that gets badly disheveled in the brawl. In the intercut close-ups of "Bat" throwing punches, however, Barry's hair is short and neatly groomed. (00:06:00)

The Virginian (1962)

Stopover - S7-E14

Continuity mistake: After Frank locks him in the jail cell, the Virginian stands with his hands holding the bars in full shots, but in close-ups, his arms are extended through the bars in a completely different position.

Burke's Law (1994)

Who Killed the Hollywood Headshrinker? - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: Dressed as Catwoman, Ingrid cartwheels into Peter, knocking him over. When they hit the ground in full shot, she's upside down with her legs on his shoulders. When the shot cuts to a closer angle, her position has shifted 180 degrees and she's face-to-face with him, her hands on his shoulders. (00:28:50)
