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.

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: 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.

Continuity: Season 6-Episode 21, Rory and Lorelai are talking on cell phones and Rory has her hands full with her pencil and her cell phone and every time they cut back to her her hair has been moved around. It goes from being behind her shoulder to in front of her shoulder, then completely behind her neck without her touching it.

Character mistake: In "The Prodigal Daughter Returns", Lorelai goes to Luke's to tell him about her reconciliation with Rory. While talking, she puts a number of donuts into a take-out carton, and moments later walks out without it.

Continuity: In many episodes in Season 6, for instance in "Always A Godmother, Never A God" Jackson's surname is "Belleville". In season 1, in the episode "Christopher returns", his surname is "Melville".

Visible crew/equipment: Season 6, Episode 11, "The Perfect Dress": When Rory is finally going back to Yale, in the scene where she and Lorelai are standing by the car debating who Paul Anka likes better, Rory gets in the car to drive away, but in the next shot of the car actually driving away, you can see what is a man's arm driving the car.

Continuity: This was in season six in the Martha's vineyard episode (Valentine's day). Lorelai comes into the kitchen and we see a shot of Rory cooking. Next to her is the lemon juicer. In the next shot, it is not there. It reappears as Lorelai is watching Rory cook and Rory reaches into a drawer and pulls it out.

Continuity: Season 6-13 "Friday Night's alright for Fighting": When Richard hands Rory her martini, she puts it on the table in front of her. In the next shot she puts it down once more.

Continuity: Episode 703: When Emily asks Richard a question at the dinner table, he is holding a glass. In the next shot, when he answers, he is not holding the glass.

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.

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.

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.

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: When Lorelai and Max are standing on the porch of Lorelai's house debating on going in together, there is a snowflake on Lorelai's hat that is present in some shots showing the back of her head, and absent in others.

Continuity: At the start when Harry is talking at the town meeting - the frontal shoots show his hat sitting on the top ledge of the lecture stand, but in the shoots from behind the hat is sitting on the shelf part of the lecture stand.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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

Visible crew/equipment: When Paris drops her book on the floor in English class, to jolt Rory out of her daydream stupor, a boom mic is visible above Liza Weil's head.

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 Rory tells Lane about what she saw at Harvard, she comments, "where I might live next year." But earlier, Rory says that she's still two years away from Harvard.

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.

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.

Continuity: When Sherry and Lorelai have their awkward talk in the kitchen, Lorelai is reaching to bring out glasses for apple juice. She places one on the counter and reaches for a second, in the next shot as she is setting down the glass she has just retrieved a second glass has already appeared on the counter.

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.

Audio problem: In the scene where Rory comes home alone, she picks up the toy rabbi, and it sings. Later, when she goes into the kitchen, it stops. She picks up the phone, and the singing starts again, meaning someone picked it up.

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: 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.

Plot hole: In episode 416, "The Reigning Lorelai" when Emily is dialing a number for Manny Martelli, to make arrangements for the funeral, she only dials two digits. She just got the number from someone else, so there's no way it was speed-dial.

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.

Continuity: When Rory comes into the room to answer the phone and sees Paris avoiding the call because it's her boyfriend Jamie, she empties the contents of her school bag onto the desk, including her mobile phone. Then later in the scene when Rory suggests Paris use her mobile phone to call Jamie, she pulls it out of her bag again, despite having left it on the table all but half a minute earlier.

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 scene where Rory is talking to Lane on her cell phone, she sits down on a bench. On that bench is a guy reading a book. The scene shifts to Lane in Stars Hollow, and when it shifts back to Rory at Yale, the guy on the bench is gone.
