Burke's Law (1963)
Who Killed Wade Walker? - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: Burke's Rolls leaves a parking space in front of a restaurant with a distinctive peaked roof facade. After a lengthy conversation with Tim during a drive through L.A. streets (in one direction with no turns), the car is shown again pulling away from the same restaurant. (00:11:25)

Switch (1975)
Continuity mistake: At the carnival, Pete's cotton candy changes shape and doubles in size between takes. (00:24:30)
3rd Jun 2013
Switch (1975)
Whatever Happened to Carol Harmony? - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: After Pete and Mac chase the guard dogs out, the mansion's double gates close themselves between one shot and the next. (00:23:00)
3rd Jun 2013
Mission: Impossible (1966)
Visible crew/equipment: When the dignitaries' limo pulls away, its doors mirror several studio lights and reflectors. (00:34:15)

Here Come the Brides (1968)
Revealing mistake: Both stunt double's faces are plainly visible in the fight between Jeremy and Rafe. (00:26:10)
3rd Jun 2013
Here Come the Brides (1968)
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Jeremy falls and is clinging to a cliff face. In the close-ups, he's holding onto fairly solid grey rocks. In all the long shots, however, his stunt man/double is precariously perched on crumbling brown dirt. (00:01:00)

Here Come the Brides (1968)
A Bride for Obie Brown - S2-E14
Revealing mistake: During the log-rolling contest at the end, Bobby Sherman's stunt double is very easy to spot. He has lighter, shorter hair and is much taller. His face (in profile) is even visible in several shots. (00:46:00)
30th Apr 2013
Here Come the Brides (1968)
Continuity mistake: Clancey's bath bubbles are touching his chin in close-ups, but retreat more than a foot in every full shot of him in the tub. (00:32:00)
30th Apr 2013
Here Come the Brides (1968)
Revealing mistake: When Stemple and Jason argue on the porch, an electric light bulb is very apparent in the lantern beside the door. (00:41:00)
30th Apr 2013
Here Come the Brides (1968)
Continuity mistake: During the fight between Stemple and Jason, they overturn a large crate marked "Farm Machinery" in front of the general store. Two shots later, the same crate has somehow righted itself, and they overturn it again. (00:25:30)
30th Apr 2013
Here Come the Brides (1968)
Continuity mistake: While he's talking to Stemple in Lottie's saloon, Clancey's red neckerchief keeps changing positions between shots. (00:14:20)
30th Apr 2013
The High Chaparral (1967)
An Anger Greater Than Mine - S4-E1
Factual error: Diego's straight razor has a bright blue plastic handle. (00:08:00)
28th Apr 2013
Dark Shadows (1966)
Factual error: 1966: Ohrbach's, the fashion house that supplied Dark Shadows with costumes throughout its run, suffered the indignity of seeing its name misspelled as "Orhbach's" in many of the 1966 credit crawls.
28th Apr 2013
Dark Shadows (1966)
Audio problem: 1966: While Constable Carter is grilling Burke Devlin, you can hear crew members talking loudly backstage. In apparent annoyance, "Burke" raises his voice and all but shouts his next line.
28th Apr 2013
Here Come the Brides (1968)
Revealing mistake: The mock-up of Clancey's ship that we see from the town never matches the stock footage of the ship at sea. Nor, apparently, did budget restraints allow for any movement of the mock-up that would make it appear to actually be floating on water. It glides into port on what is obviously wheels, perfectly level, and without a single creak or groan that a real ship would make.
28th Apr 2013
Here Come the Brides (1968)
Deliberate mistake: Robert Brown wears a gold turtleneck sweater with his leather outfit throughout the series. Though it's more than 100 years beyond the show's 19th Century setting, he and the producers decided that he looked good in it, so allowed the anachronism to stand.
28th Apr 2013
Blake's 7 (1978)
Audio problem: Just as Zen is reporting that it can find no stars for navigational reference points, something crashes very noisily off screen. No, it isn't the arriving Dayna's clunky shoes. Much too loud, unless she's throwing them at something.
28th Apr 2013
Quantum Leap (1989)
Private Dancer - October 6, 1979 - S3-E14
Factual error: When Sam knocks on Diana's door, she opens it. But we've just been told that she's completely deaf, so there's no way she could have heard him knocking. Though she dances to "vibrations in the air," this is with music played at volumes high enough to cause such vibrations. Sam is absolutely not banging on her door that loudly.
8th Apr 2013
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Continuity mistake: Danno drives away from 5-0 headquarters in a 1972 Ford LTD, but arrives at the crime scene in a '73 with a distinctively different front grill. (00:04:05)
