Gilmore Girls (2000) - 36 mistakes in entire show

Other: Season 6, 9/20/05, "Fight Face" While in Luke's Diner, Luke hands Lorelei a cup of coffee in a 'to go' cup. When Luke puts the coffee in front of Lorelei, the cup makes a hollow sound when it hits the counter, obviously indicating that there's no actual coffee in the cup.

Continuity: When Lorelai, Rory and Max are having breakfast at Luke's, their coffee cups change from red to blue in one shot. Also Max's coffee cup goes back and forth from the left side of his paper to the right.

Continuity: When Lorelai and Luke are in Luke's Diner to choose the color for the walls, Luke turns around the 'closed'-sign on the door. In this shot you can see that the venetian blind at the door is quite messed-up; partly closed, partly opened. In the following shot, where all the people are standing outside Luke's Diner looking trough the windows, the venetian blind is orderly and completely opened.

Continuity: After Rory is walking with Dean, it goes to a shot of Rory and Lorelai eating at Luke's Diner from outside. Rory is wearing a light blue sweater and Lorelai has a black shirt on. Then it goes inside the diner and Rory is wearing a dark bluish/grey sweater and Lorelai is wearing a purple shirt. The first shot is used from the very last scene of the episode.

Other: When Rory returns from being stranded overnight in Hartford, she comes up the walk and meets Lorelei on the porch. Although it's snowing significantly in the background, there is not a single flake of snow on Rory's hair, jacket, or backpack, and her hair is completely dry.

Continuity: In "An Affair to Remember", Lorelai and Sookie take some containers out of the car and head towards Emily and Richard's door. When you see the next shot of them at the door, the containers Sookie is carrying are different from the ones she took out of the car, without her rearranging them.

Continuity: In the episode The Fundamental Things Apply, Lorelai is in Luke's Diner talking to Luke. Lorelai is wearing a red sweater vest over a white shirt. Everytime the camera goes back to her, the left side of her collar goes from being tucked in under the vest (as if the vest were hastily put on), to being untucked (as it should be) quite a few times.

Factual error: Lane wants Rory to talk to Dean about setting up Lane with his friend Todd. While asking Rory to do this, Lane asks for the date to be planned for the following Sunday, after church; however, Lane is Seventh-day Adventist and they believe the Sabbath is Saturday and therefore attend church on Saturday, not Sunday.

Deliberate "mistake": Richard and Emily speak of his mother as if she were dead, but she comes to visit several times later in the series.

Factual error: in the episode "We've Got Magic to Do," Rory pulls out a seating chart to find a place to seat Shira, but when you see the seating chart, there are no names on it.

Continuity: Luke uses a red screwdriver trying to get something out of the toaster and leaves the screwdriver in the toaster while he goes to get coffee. When it cuts back to Lorelai, the screwdriver is on the counter, beside the toaster.

Continuity: When Lorelai calls Chris to tell him about Rory's debut, she writes his new number on a gum wrapper. The shot changes to Rory. When it cuts to Lorelai again, she is reading the number from a notebook.

Continuity: In the scene where Luke and Jess are on the lake discussing in the end, when the camera is on Luke they are in the sun and when it is on Jess they are in the shadow.

Continuity: In episode 6.1,"New and Improved Lorelai", when Lorelai and Luke are in bed talking about having kids, the first time Luke lies down he is on a blue striped pillow, but the second time it is a light brown pillow.

Visible crew/equipment: During the Friday night dinner, something that looks like a microphone swings back and forth next to Richard's arm. It comes back in almost every shot of him.

Continuity: Rory asks Emily for baby pictures of Lorelai, but Emily says Lorelai burned them all because she had such a big head when she was little. But in "Love and War and Snow" earlier in the season, Emily, Richard and Rory looked at baby pictures of Lorelai together.

Continuity: When Lorelai sits down with Dean to discuss how "clingy" he is with Rory, both Lorelai and Dean's hand positions change between shots, specifically whether their fingers are laced, resting normally on the table or raised in the air.

Continuity: In the first scene when Dean brings pizza and they are discussing about Donna Reed: In one shot Lorelai is opening the pizza box and she and Rory take a piece and start eating while they are talking. In the following shot, the piece of pizza in Lorelai's hand is gone and Rory takes a piece from the box - you can see that the pizza is complete again.

Visible crew/equipment: At one point during Lorelai's argument with Richard at the end of the episode, a boom mic is visible above Lorelai's head.

Visible crew/equipment: When Lorelai talks to Emily at the Independence Inn, a boom mic briefly drops into the shot.
