Other mistake: While on Starbase 11, Kirk and McCoy watch Pike on a starbase desktop monitor as his light keeps blinking no. When Kirk is with Mendez in his office discussing the Talos IV top secret file, Piper watches Pike on the desktop monitor in the office. Then Spock uses the desktop monitor in his quarters to watch Kirk. All these consoles have the same dings and markings around their screens, which are also the same as other desktop monitors on Enterprise in the previous episode, The Corbomite Maneuver. (00:11:10)

The Corbomite Maneuver - S1-E11
Other mistake: When Kirk is in sickbay with McCoy he uses sickbay's desktop monitor to contact Spock on the bridge, then when Kirk is in his quarters he uses his own desktop monitor to contact Spock again. Both have the same paint dings and smudges around the console screens, revealing the same one was used during filming. (00:04:30 - 00:06:30)

The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: After John-Boy leaves, in the last scene we hear Jim-Bob ask about the magazines, but subtitles claim it is Ben who asks, then as we hear Jason answer the queston, the subtitles tell us it is Jim-Bob who answers. (00:47:00)
15th Sep 2019
The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: When the wild hawk flies over and soon lands on the green painted chicken box, not only are different birds of prey shown in these shots, their flight feathers are also intact. When Zeb and Jim-Bob walk over to the bird, it's apparent that this hawk standing atop the box has the primary feathers clipped on its left wing. (00:31:00)

The Waltons (1972)
The Conflict - S3-E1
Other mistake: After seeing the new house, Martha Corinne and Esther are at the back of the truck talking while John is driving home. During their conversation the truck is not actually moving (it's shaken to give an impression of movement), as we can see no change in scenery through the small rear window and at the left side of the screen in shots facing Esther. Additionally, Olivia is visible through the rear window sitting in the front seat, and she's wearing dangle earrings, which she does not wear in the scenes before or after (presumably it's the stand-in sitting in the seat). (01:01:10)

The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: While John and his sons are at the pig pen talking about Rover, in the first wideshot facing them all we can see the Baldwins' stationary car parked near the pen, waiting for the cue to move at the proper time. During their entire conversation nobody remarks or reacts to the Baldwins' car being right there, not until the second wideshot, just as the vehicle moves closer to the Walton house, and then everyone exclaims, "Baldwin sisters/ladies!" as if they just now showed up. (00:03:55)

The Waltons (1972)
The Dust Bowl Cousins - S1-E13
Other mistake: After the fight, when John walks over to John-Boy, who's at the kitchen sink, and tells him to explain what it's all about, the camera pans a bit too far to the right so we can see the unfinished edge of the cabinet at the right. It's unfinished because the adjacent shorter double cabinet (with a glass door) which should be there is missing in this shot, then that cabinet is back when John-Boy turns around in a following shot. (00:42:15)

The Waltons (1972)
The Conflict - S3-E1
Other mistake: While Martha Corinne is standing in front of the bathroom sink in the new house, we see her height compared to the mirrored medicine cabinet above the sink, and Martha Corinne is quite a bit shorter than the mirror's knob, even with her bonnet. When she reaches up to open the cabinet door, in the next closeup from behind her she is now taller than that knob. For this specific closeup The Actress was presumably standing on a stool, in order to have the perfect shot of her turning her head, then being surprised by her own reflection in the mirror. (00:54:00)
4th Sep 2019
The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: When Jim-Bob comes home unexpectedly while Drew is over, this scene takes place in the boys' bedroom. In the interior shot, when Jim-Bob tells Drew to douse the light Drew gets up and turns off the light in the boys' bedroom, then it cuts to the exterior shot which specifically shows their window going dark as the light is being turned off by Drew. The problem is in this exterior shot we are seeing the light go out in John-Boy's bedroom (where Mary Ellen resides with the baby), not the boys' bedroom. (00:26:00)

The Waltons (1972)
The Thanksgiving Story - S2-E10
Other mistake: During John-Boy's entrance exam at Boatwright University, when he's given the pamphlet and history test questions, note three of the questions include the contraction "it's" which is incorrect within those given questions. Each question should have used "its" without an apostrophe. Additionally, the sign on the University's wall reads "keep your eyes on you own paper" instead of "your own paper." (01:00:35)
17th Jul 2019
Charmed (1998)
Other mistake: After Piper tells Phoebe to get to know Dex well and fast because it may be the one sign Phoebe can't ignore, Piper ends the family meeting. In the following overhead shot as Piper walks out we can see her reflection in the wall mirror and it shows her long dark brown hair, but the problem is the reflection should be showing the "Jenny Bennett" golden blonde hair instead. (00:05:05)
29th Mar 2019
Once Upon a Time (2011)
The Final Battle: Part 1 - S6-E22
Other mistake: While Killian and David are talking at the base of the beanstalk, in the wideshots we can see the protective black boot worn by Colin O'Donoghue, the actor playing Killian, who broke his left foot during filming of the previous musical episode. (00:20:30)
27th Feb 2019
The Goonies (1985)
Other mistake: After the kids find Chester Copperpot's skeleton, Mikey picks up Copperpot's book and finds the Gehrig baseball card inside. When Mikey turns the card over it's the 1973 Topps Lou Gehrig All-Time Grand Slam Leader #472 (which has nine players' grand slam stats listed on the back of the card, that includes Hank Aaron who started playing MLB in 1954). The problem is Copperpot was reported as missing in 1935, but this specific Topps baseball card (now well known) was issued in 1973, nearly 40 years after Copperpot's death via the pirate booby trap. (00:54:30)
8th Dec 2018
Gilmore Girls (2000)
Other mistake: After Lane goes home, when Rory watches her mom talking to Max note the short window over the kitchen sink behind Rory (not the tall window on the same wall). In the next shot, from outside that short window, we see Rory pull the photo strip out of her pocket then proceed to walk to that window and stand directly in front of it. The problem is there should be a sink and cabinets under that window blocking Rory from standing beside the window. (00:43:05)
3rd Dec 2018
Gilmore Girls (2000)
Other mistake: The Warner Bros. Studio Tour building is quite a distinctive high-rise, and it's located at the corner of Avon and Warner Blvd across the street from the Warner Bros. Studio backlot, which includes the location set of Stars Hollow town square. During the series, in a few episodes such as "Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore," that high-rise building can be seen from the town square, past Doose's Market, directly behind Sophie's Music store.
22nd Nov 2018
Girl Shy (1924)
Other mistake: Throughout the movie, Harold Lloyd's prosthetic glove on his right hand is noticeable in the wideshots when he stretches or holds out his right hand, so in all the closeups showing both of Harold's hands it's the stand-in's hands we are seeing.
30th Oct 2018
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
Other mistake: When the kids leave Linus standing alone in the pumpkin patch, Sally decides to rush back to Linus, and when Linus explains that she'll see the Great Pumpkin with her own eyes, Sally's left arm is blue, the same color as her dress, then instantly changes to the normal flesh color within the same shot. (00:11:20)
10th Sep 2018
The Simpsons Game (2007)
Other mistake: Level 5 "Mob Rules" cutscene: After Lisa gives Marge the manual and explains Marge's superpower to her, when Marge shouts, "Okay, let's stop that video game," Lisa's moving head was not properly edited by the layout artists, note that Lisa's head and neck are disconnected from her body, which is a bit creepy looking as she moves her head.
10th Sep 2018
The Simpsons Game (2007)
Other mistake: Level 10 "Bargain Bin" cutscene: When the spaceship flies over the house all the Simpsons walk out the front door, and in this overhead shot part of the house is missing, note the animation is incomplete behind the roof of the garage.
15th Aug 2018
Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
Other mistake: Victor and Neil leave in the Rally STX van to take the boys to Moose River. Later, when Beth goes into town the license plate number is '566 241' on her Chevy pickup, but when Victor drops Neil and the boys off, we see their Rally STX has the same license plate number '566 241' as well. (00:30:40 - 00:36:40)
