The Fire - S5-E20

Continuity mistake: When Jerry opens the magazine to the article about him before handing it to George, the left side is mostly black with a picture and the right side is half black with "now" in big yellow letters. In the next shot of him handing the magazine to George, the page seen is mostly white with fine print and a small picture. In the next shots of George reading it, the magazine is back to where Jerry had opened it up to the first time.

The Glasses - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: When George bites into the onion, you can see the top of the onion is facing up or towards the camera, next to his finger. In the next shot, you can tell the onion has rotated position. You can see the root is to the side, so the top would be on the side instead of up.
