Hogan's Heroes (1965)
The Flame Grows Higher - S1-E31
Revealing mistake: As Hogan, Le Beau, and Newkirk help Schultz up the slope to the "forest fire", there is lumber stacked across a low spot in the top of the bank and covered with "snow" and grass. Probably meant as a path.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Continuity mistake: When Schultz comes out, he talks to the guard posted there. A moment later, the guard is gone.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: The wooden steps in front of the office look to be one plank measuring 3" by 18", but in the collapse under Klink, they appear to be two pieces. Also, Le Beau sawed through the middle support, but neither Schultz or Klink step on it.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Revealing mistake: As Klink steps off the porch of his office, in the long shot you can tell it is his stunt double.

Death Ship (1980)
Continuity mistake: The amount of blood in the shower varies from shot to shot. One moment, it's ankle deep, then the drain is visible, then ankle deep again.

Death Ship (1980)
Visible crew/equipment: When the survivors of the cruise liner sinking approach the ominous ship, it's supposed to be deserted, but as a window opens, a person's arm holding a stick to open the window is visible.

Spaceballs (1987)
Continuity mistake: After Lone Star and Barf drop the giant hair dryer, they lift up the empty case. In the "Instant video Cassette" of the movie, Lone Star and Barf are lifting the case, but the hair dryer is missing.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: It's not the same scene. Notice that in the scene where they drop it, it's relatively flat where they are walking. In the instant cassette scene, they are walking down a hill.
They were by a hill, but the angle didn't allow the camera to see it.

Spaceballs (1987)
Revealing mistake: As the ship goes to Ludicrous Speed, Dark Helmet goes horizontal, and as he does, you can make out of the wires pulling on the bottom of his cape.

Spaceballs (1987)
Other mistake: As Dark Helmet says his line "Everybody knows that!", watch the crewman in white to Helmet's right. He starts to cover his crotch a beat too soon.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: As Ames is pitched the idea of diet and exercise, he has his fork up with a bite of egg on it. When Hawkeye reaches for the fork, it's upside down and clean.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Question: When Scotty was at the door of the Holodeck, he calls for the bridge of the Enterprise, "no bloody A, B, C, or D." When the doors open, it's the bridge of the original ship. However, he was Chief Engineer on the refit Enterprise (no A). Besides the obvious "it's in the script", why didn't the computer ask for a distinction?
Answer: As a product of 24th Century technology, the ship's computer is an example of extremely advanced artificial intelligence that is capable of intuiting deeper meanings based on inflection and speaker personality profiles. The computer probably (and correctly) intuited from Scotty's profile and the exasperated tone of his voice that he meant the original, unmodified Enterprise NCC 1701.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: When the South Korean Colonel and General are in the Mess Tent with BJ, their rank insignia is wrong. The insignia the Colonel is wearing is for a U.S. Colonel, and the General's insignia would not be three stars in a horizontal line.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Other mistake: As Troi describes her idea of "real" chocolate to the computer, it interrupts her with a warning about the nutritional value of her request. The reply is in two parts, and between the parts, you hear the intake of breath, something no computer would do.

Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead - S10-E10
Continuity mistake: In the Swamp, after another drink, Charles puts a clamp on BJ's hand. As he does, the points are facing Hawkeye. In the wide shot, they're pointing at BJ. Then after Charles passes out, they're pointed at Hawkeye again.

The A-Team (1983)
Continuity mistake: After Hannibal tosses the grenade that flips the jeep, if you look closely, the man in the back end of the truck is wearing a white hat. When the camera is close up on Hannibal, he's not wearing a hat.

The A-Team (1983)
West Coast Turnaround - S1-E10
Visible crew/equipment: As Hannibal calls the team to action and starts to walk off-camera, the shadow of the boom mike is on the ground behind him.

The A-Team (1983)
Continuity mistake: When Face starts tailing the black limo, the limo's tag is 55J-DKE. When it pulls up in the neighborhood, the tag is 62N-BHT.
