Continuity mistake: When Thing is using sign language to tell Gomez that Morticia is in danger, there's a blue coffee mug sitting on the table (to Thing's immediate right) that vanishes every time the camera angle reverses. (01:25:00)

It Takes a Thief (1968)
Beyond a Treasonable Doubt - S3-E23
Audio problem: When Mundy escapes, Devon shouts, "Stop him!" But his lips aren't moving when we hear the words shouted, and when his lips do mouth the words several seconds later, there's no sound. (00:10:00)
11th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
Beyond a Treasonable Doubt - S3-E23
Revealing mistake: Somehow you'd think that a gadget-happy government spy agency would be capable of replacing a dead battery. The clock in the SIA HQ board room remains at 10:10 throughout the entire 5-minute interrogation scene with Mundy. (00:07:00)
10th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
Deliberate mistake: We see the Air Force plane's bomb bay doors come open. But in the next shot of the plane banking, the doors are instantly closed again. (00:45:20)
10th Feb 2007
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The High and the Deadly Affair - S1-E28
Continuity mistake: Merek's bird is sitting on his shoulder facing backward. In the very next shot, as he stands, the bird is suddenly facing forward. When he starts to sit down, the bird is still forward, but in the next shot, a close-up of him sitting, birdie is facing to the rear again. (00:07:50)
10th Feb 2007
The Green Hornet (1966)
Continuity mistake: The Black Beauty leaves Britt Reid's garage in full daylight. In the very next shot, as the car pulls out into the street, it's completely dark. (00:03:35)
10th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
Revealing mistake: The saloon's upper level railing looks solid until just before the bad guy falls through it, when the cuts in the break-away section are prominently visible. (00:26:05)
10th Feb 2007
The Green Hornet (1966)
Visible crew/equipment: The Green Hornet zaps the bad guy's rifle with his stinger ray. When the gun bursts into flames, the wire leading to the explosive special effects charge is visible trailing off to the right of the shot. (00:17:30)
10th Feb 2007
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The High and the Deadly Affair - S1-E28
Continuity mistake: The chocolate eclair is cut open to reveal the mini-bomb planted inside. But when April picks the eclair up, it's completely intact again. (00:43:30)
10th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
Continuity mistake: Mona draws a heart in the dust on the bar and writes "Al + Mona" inside it. When we see a close-up it, however, the L is suddenly much larger than before, and the name "Mona" is written in smaller letters. (00:04:00)
6th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
To Sing a Song of Murder - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: At the airport, Mundy asks Marilyn what's wrong and places his hands on her shoulders. Then the shot cuts to a reverse angle, and his hands are resting on top of the car door instead. (00:07:50)
6th Feb 2007
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Continuity mistake: Kealoha puts his gun back in its shoulder holster before walking a few feet across the parking lot to meet McGarrett. When we cut to a two-shot of them, Kealoha puts his gun away all over again. (00:32:30)
6th Feb 2007
Hawaii Five-O (1968)
Pray Love Remember, Pray Love Remember - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: Danno walks several feet into McGarrett's office to make a report. Though there's no break in the dialogue and no time for him to have moved, the shot cuts and he's suddenly standing outside the door as they finish their conversation. (00:02:45)
6th Feb 2007
The Green Hornet (1966)
Trivia: Kato was Japanese when The Green Hornet premiered as a radio series in 1936. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Kato suddenly became a Korean. In the 1960s, when future martial arts superstar Bruce Lee (who was Chinese) assumed the role for television, Kato was meant to regain his Japanese heritage. But his ethnicity was never mentioned on the show, and publicity simply referred to Kato as "Asian."

It Takes a Thief (1968)
Continuity mistake: Angela's limo picks up Mundy and drives down a tree-lined country road. But in the very next shot, the view out the back window is of a busy city street with nary a tree in sight. (00:13:00)
6th Feb 2007
It Takes a Thief (1968)
Factual error: Mundy makes a phone call by wiring a radio speaker to the wall jack. Clever, but it wouldn't work. He might be able to hear dial tone, etc., but no one he called would be able to hear him without a microphone/sound pick-up, which the radio didn't have. (00:16:15)
6th Feb 2007
Monk (2002)
Mr. Monk Is At Your Service - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: Monk finds the magazine from which the butler cut out words for his blackmail note, and matches a scrap with the word "Police" on it to the article it was cut from - only the left and bottom edges of the scrap don't conform at all to the hole cut in the page. They haven't been trimmed more. In fact, the whole piece is much too large to fit into the space. (00:36:30)
5th Feb 2007
Time Tunnel (1966)
Factual error: Doug and Tony time travel to one million years B.C., where they encounter dinosaurs. Not likely. All the dinosaurs were rendered extinct several million years earlier by an asteroid strike. There weren't any left by 1-million BC. (00:29:45)
5th Feb 2007
Time Tunnel (1966)
Continuity mistake: A large blue vase in Galba's study keeps moving itself into different positions on the table. Several shots later, it's gone altogether. (00:20:00)
5th Feb 2007
The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (1966)
The U.N.C.L.E. Samurai Affair - S1-E27
Revealing mistake: Mark's stunt double in the final fight scene has a very bad (and obvious) brown wig. Mark's hair, however, is blond. (00:44:00)
