Scrubs

My Quarantine - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: When Jordan slides on the floor going under the closing door her hat goes off landing straight, and already beyond the door. When it cuts to her picking it up it lies on its side and is now on the other side of the door, for her to reach under and collect it.

Mortug

My Roommates - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: When Carla and Turk tell JD that he is around them all the time, it cuts to a scene with Carla and Turk in the tub while JD is using the toilet. It cuts back to JD saying "And here I thought that was a lovely evening" while he is holding a bowl of popcorn in his hands. When it cuts the bowl is suddenly on the table.

My Boss's Free Haircut - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: After Elliott falls into the grave, she tries to pull herself out by placing both hands on the edge of the grave and jumping. When she falls back in again, there are two clumps of dirt missing from the edge where her hands were. In later shots, the edge of the grave is unmarked.

My Big Move - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: Episode 22 - season 4. When Carla is trying to justify her kissing JD and she says "You know how upset I was when you started calling you ex-girlfriend" to Turk she holds her arms down. When it cuts she suddenly rests her right arm on the couch.

My Changing Ways - S4-E25

My Changing Ways - S4-E25

Continuity mistake: When the girl in the bathtub comes crashing through the ceiling, she has her hands covering her upper chest and no bath bubbles. The next shot there is a great deal of bath bubbles all over her and we cannot see her hands covering her chest. As the guy falls through the ceiling, the bubbles on the woman again disappear and we see her hands.

Lummie

Season 5 generally

Continuity mistake: Turk times Carla's pregnancy test by putting some mini snacks in the microwave. Then, just afterwards, they're all neatly stacked next to him even though neither of them went near the microwave.

Carla: You can deny you like her all you want. But, I know for a fact, that every time you guys are done "playing racquetball" or "having a conversation" or whatever it is you crazy kids are calling it, you like nothing more than to just lie next to Jordan and watch her sleep.
Dr. Cox: It would be impossible for me to lie next to Jordan, she sleeps hanging from a ramp in the ceiling, wrapped in a cocoon of her own wings.

Season 1 generally

Question: In one episode (I think it's My Balancing Act) Dr Kelso is trying to scare the interns, so he pulls his face off and 'becomes' a guy with crazy ginger hair and a very annoying loud voice. I'm a Brit so that's maybe why I don't recognise this guy. Is he supposed to be someone famous?

Answer: This is an American comedian called Scott Thompson, more widely known by his stage name of "Carrot Top".
