Hi Diddle Riddle (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Robin parks the Batmobile while Batman heads into the disco, Robin raises the radar antenna on the hood to spin and provide a good signal. But in the shot from behind Robin, as he lifts the dash Batscope cover, the radar antenna is still in its original position and hasn't been raised, but the Batscope visuals are working perfectly. It happens again, when Robin watches on the Batscope as Batman begins to collapse from the spiked OJ, the radar antenna hasn't been raised at all. (00:16:50)

Ten Commandments (1956)

Ten Commandments mistake picture

Other mistake: At the very start of the Exodus there are three consecutive shots with the blowing of horns. In the next shot, while the camera faces the ground, there are multiple imprints of modern work boot or sneaker soles visible on the dirt (near the spotted goat), on the left side of the screen. These are not sole imprints of the time period. (02:59:25)

Visible crew/equipment: After their cleaning and ironing in the kitchen Lucy and Martha head up the stairs, then as Lucy says, "Nearly halfway through life, and what have I done," the shadow of the moving boom mic is visible at the top left side of the screen. (00:15:25)

E. Peterbus Unum - S2-E18

Batman (1966)

Show generally

Deliberate mistake: The Batmobile's Bat-turn lever is located at the center upper console, between the driver and passenger seats. Whenever the Bat-turn lever is used while the Dynamic Duo are in the Batmobile, the same closeup always faces the passenger seat and shows Batman's gloved hand pushing the Bat-turn lever, but the problem is Robin vanishes in this closeup - the passenger seat is empty. Episodes S1xE3 "Fine Feathered Finks", S1xE29 "The Bookworm Turns", and S2xE38 "The Joker's Hard Times" are three examples of the Bat-turn lever being used.

The Joker's Hard Times (2) - S2-E38

Continuity mistake: After Joker enters Commissioner Gordon's office, Gordon and Chief O'Hara walk over to the window, and the Batphone table is behind them, beside Gordon's desk. Then Joker makes two "quick-frozen cops" and runs off to snatch Justice, leaving Gordon and O'Hara immobile. When their shock paralysis wears off, Gordon and O'Hara rush over to Gordon's desk, but the Batphone table and the Batphone have vanished (note the rug's pattern). (00:03:00 - 00:04:55)

Then we see Cassandra's and Cabala's white T-marks when they walk in. Next, upon the Terrific Trio's entrances, we see their T-marks as well. (00:08:25)
