Trilogy of Terror (1975)

Visible crew/equipment: Segment 2: During Therese's conversation with the doctor, part of the boom rigging can be seen overhead, glinting in the studio lights. (Trilogy is a TV movie, so it's not a theater projectionist's error.) (00:34:30)

The Master (1984)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: "Hostages": During the raid, the bad guys' helicopter lifts off with the hostages aboard. In the next shot, it's still on the ground. Next shot after that, it's airborne again.

The Beacon - S1-E26

Plot hole: Barrows introduces himself as "Dr. Dennis Barrows," and Teddy asks, "What's a doctor?" As the isolated villagers have never heard of doctors, Teddy would have no way to know that "Doctor" was a title/profession and not simply part of Barrows' name. He should have asked, "What kind of a name is Doctor?"

The Arabian Affair - S2-E7

Trivia: David McCallum recalls that in this episode, when Illya was supposed to drive a fork lift down a corridor and stop, he accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake, crashed through a wall and demolished the set. While he and Robert Vaughn found it a source of much hilarity, MGM's "bean counters" were reportedly not at all amused.

Hawaii Five-O (1968)

Death Wish on Tantalus Mountain - S5-E2

Character mistake: McGarrett tells Pereno that the sabotaged race car went over a cliff. But the car crashed into a wall, with no cliff in sight. It's very unlike Hawaii's top cop to get the facts wrong - especially when he was an eye witness to the event. (00:44:00)

Carmelita Is One of Us - S3-E25

Continuity mistake: Chica carries the baby downstairs to the foyer, puts it in a blue pram and leaves for town. When Kelly and Scott arrive at the apartment building, the pram Chica has just left with is back in its place in the foyer. (00:13:20)

Agent Afloat - S6-E2

Trivia: Season 6, "Agent Afloat": Maybe real aircraft carriers posing as fictional ones shouldn't let viewers see their registration numbers. When this episode aired, producers heard from several "carrier purists" complaining that CVN74 is the U.S.S. John C. Stennis, not the (non-existent) Seahawk.
