Visible crew/equipment: Jack Bauer and his boss are in a building at night with a shooter hidden somewhere. They open a door and look very carefully to the right and then to the left before going through the door. On the right side you can briefly see two crew members and as the camera pulls forward they back up some so they won't be seen.

6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. (season 1, episode 19)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: The 6:00PM-7:00PM episode ends when it is still light outside. The 7:00PM-8:00PM Episode begins when it is completly dark (no sunset/dusk/twilight) The show is supposed to be in "real-time" but as the sun goes down it gradually gets darker, it does not just become dark from one second to the next.

9:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. (season 1, episode 22)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the previous hour, Pattie has long straight hair down to her shoulders. We see this all the way through, even at the very end. Yet at the start of episode 22, when she is now at the party a mere 10 minutes later, her hair is very much shorter. There is no way she would be able to get ready for the party in that time, let alone have her hair cut.

Edit

3:00 A.M.-4:00 A.M. (season 1, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Jack drives to 18166 San Fernando Road he stops the car, gets out and leaves his phone in the car - you can see the green light of the phone's screen - he didn't reach for it. However, when Teri calls him, he has the phone in his pocket.

⇑
⇓

Continuity: During season one of 24, Jack answers his mobile to Gaines and we see footage of Jack on a CCTV camera. The CCTV footage shows medical staff moving, yet when they cut back to the camera in the hall the medical staff are in different places, they keep changing places and keep disappearing and re-appearing and the CCTV footage is about two seconds ahead of the footage in the corridor.

Edit

11:00 P.M.-12:00 Midnight (season 1, episode 24)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: At around 11:30pm, just when Jack is preparing to take his first shots at the Drazen's as they are running towards the speedboat, you can see a cameraman/technician (wearing a face shield), and a TV monitor behind Jack's head.

Day 2: 5:00 A.M.-6:00 A.M. (season 2, episode 22)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: When Kim sees Gary she runs into the master bedroom, hides her bags, goes into the closet and up to the attic - all in the time it takes Gary to run five yards to the bedroom door. And considering how much noise the attic door made he should have heard her. Plus, how did she manage to get the door hatch closed when she had gone up?

Edit

12:00 Noon-1:00 P.M. (season 1, episode 13)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Jack, Kim and Teri are at the compound, Kim stands up shortly before Gaines first shot. On the left you see a crew member kneeling.

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Peter Kingsley is shot and killed by a man in a helicopter just as he is about to kill Jack. One might wonder how come Kingsley didn't hear the chopper approaching.

Edit

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Jack is outside Dunlop Plaza, talking to Nina on the phone, he says, "Nina, it's Jack." But the transcript Tony looks at a few seconds later reads, "Nina, it's me, Jack."

Revealing: When Sherry is shot, the impact is visible on her shirt, but no gunshot wounds can be seen on her skin underneath, which can be seen as she falls to the ground.

Edit

Day 5: 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. (season 5, episode 5)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: When Mrs. Logan escapes, Aaron Pierce refers to her as "the First Lady" over his radio. The Secret Service has code names for each of the members of the president's family. He should have used her code name when communicating to other Secret Service agents about her.

Edit

7:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M. (season 1, episode 20)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the police station, Kim's right arm is handcuffed to the bench as we see the profile/ master shot of her and Rick, but in the next shot, (the medium/front), you can see that Kim's right arm is behind her now and not cuffed, as Rick is being cuffed to the bench. A few seconds later, we see her right arm is again handcuffed to the bench. Kim's right arm is seen moving around as she talks to Rick and the scene progresses. Her left arm is finally uncuffed when the detective goes to book her.

Edit

2:00 P.M.-3:00 P.M. (season 1, episode 15)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In Episode 15 (Day 1), the pregnancy test that Teri takes to the bathroom is a "TrueBlue" (close up shot on it), but the one that Kim finds there is a "ClearBlue".

2:00 A.M.-3:00 A.M. (season 1, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: At about 2:15am, when Jack's talking to Nina about the passenger list on the plane, we see a shot of Jack in the top left, and Nina in the top right. Because it's real time they're both meant to match up - we're watching them both at the same time. In each shot we can see the back of the other's head, but while Jack is looking down and around in the left-hand shot, in the right-hand shot his head is staying perfectly still.

Revealing: When Renee says she couldn't get the laptop to boot up due to a fried hard drive, the Windows desktop is visible on it, which meant that the laptop did boot up.

Day 4: 10:00 P.M.-11:00 P.M. (season 4, episode 16)

⇑
⇓

Character mistake: 23rd minute. Jack meets the female assassin in Anderson's apartment. She demands that he show his credentials. Jack says he's with CTU on a provisional basis and therefore he has no badge. The agent that came with Jack confirms that. Yet, in the 13th episode (minute 14) when he enters the sports shop with Audrey's husband, he shows his CTU badge to the owners in order to prove that he in fact is a federal agent.

Edit

Day 6: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM (season 6, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: Just before Curtis is shot by Jack, Roger Cross flinches before the sound of the gunshot.
