Continuity mistake: As Kyra is leaving the village, Logoda's fang necklace, in close-up, has two of its teeth flipped over and out of alignment with the rest. In full shot, though, all the teeth are back in perfect order. (00:09:10)

Night Gallery (1970)
Dr. Stringfellow's Rejuvenator - S2-E28
Continuity mistake: In the saloon, Stringfellow pours himself a drink and picks up his glass. When the camera angle reverses, his glass is back on the table and his hand is on the bottle instead. In the next shot, he's holding the glass again. (00:11:30)
28th Jun 2009
Night Gallery (1970)
Continuity mistake: During Juan and Agatha's dinner together, the camera circles them, passing behind Juan (where an "invisible" cut occurs) and continuing to move left around the table. Between the two segments, the position of Agatha's hands changes noticeably. (00:11:50)

Night Gallery (1970)
Trivia: The closing scenes were shot through green-gold filters to give the streets a drab, hellish appearance. An appalled film lab technician tried to dye the sequence pink, and defied the director's order to "leave it green." NBC, the lab tech argued, would never accept those scenes because this was supposed to be color television. After demanding several re-dos, the director won the shouting match, the green prevailed, and NBC, apparently, never noticed.

Night Gallery (1970)
Dr. Stringfellow's Rejuvenator - S2-E28
Audio problem: When Stringfellow beats his drum to attract a crowd to his medicine show, the sound doesn't match the strikes he's making with his drumstick. (00:01:00)

Night Gallery (1970)
Visible crew/equipment: When the landlady opens the glass-paned door, it reflects a large, round studio light. (00:04:10)

Night Gallery (1970)
Factual error: While Edgar Allan Poe is penning his famous poem, a close-up of the paper shows us that he's misspelled his own middle name as "Allen." (00:00:50)

Forever Knight (1992)
A More Permanent Hell - S2-E20
Revealing mistake: Mt. Vesuvius is erupting and LaCroix's villa is collapsing around him. But while the ground "shakes," statuary falls over and the walls cave in, look closely at the fountain/pool in the center of the room. There's not a drop splashing out of it. In fact, the water's surface is smooth as glass.

Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)
Mr. Neutron - S4-E5
Trivia: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's author Douglas Adams appears in this episode as "the pepperpot with the missile." He also co-wrote (with Graham Chapman) the "patient abuse" sketch for the final episode.

Continuity mistake: The level of liquid in the doctor's beer mug changes noticeably between shots; the mug fills itself up again just before he leaves the pub. (00:47:10)
31st May 2009
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Revealing mistake: A loud, fierce gun battle rages between dozens of 5-0 sharpshooters, Army MPs and the desperadoes inside the payroll office. Amidst all the high-powered rifle fire, a woman in a blue dress strolls casually by in the background, well within bullet range, and never even turns her head to see what all the ruckus is about. Gee, you'd think colossal shooting wars broke out on her block every day. (00:13:30)

Quantum Leap (1989)
Goodbye Norma Jean - April 4, 1960 - S5-E18
Factual error: Sam leaps into Marilyn Monroe's chauffeur in April, 1960. But the car he's driving her around in is a 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible. The 1960 had prominent tail fins, the redesigned '61 did not, so the difference is noticeable. This is a model Marilyn could not have purchased until, at the earliest, September of 1960. (00:03:00)
25th May 2009
Forever Knight (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Nick breaks into the old Chinese herbalist's warehouse, he twists and breaks a doorknob lock. But when he walks through to the inside, there's a latch-and-bar array instead of a knob. It's a completely different door.
17th May 2009
The Twilight Zone (1985)
Continuity mistake: At the cocktail party, Ettinger and Bacchus are sitting with their shoulders touching in close-ups, but they're more than a foot apart in all the full shots. (00:07:05)
17th May 2009
Robin of Sherwood (1984)
Factual error: "Robin & the Sorcerer Part 1": During the archery tournament, several close-ups reveal that the arrows have 20th Century stainless steel tips on them. You can see the machine-tool marks on the shiny metal. (00:15:20)
17th May 2009
Night Gallery (1970)
Since Aunt Ada Came to Stay - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When she leaves the campus, Joanna gets wet running through the rain to her car. Just minutes later, she arrives home completely dry and with her hair neatly coiffed again. (00:27:10)
11th May 2009
Quantum Leap (1989)
Nowhere to Run - August 10, 1968 - S5-E4
Factual error: Twice in this episode, characters refer to the Vietnam war being over. But the setting is 1968. The Vietnam war didn't end until 1975. (00:34:20)
3rd May 2009
The Twilight Zone (1985)
Something in the Walls - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: When the psychiatrist plays back his tape of Sharon's counseling session, the conversation we hear differs noticeably from the one we heard in the actual counseling scene. (00:12:30)
