Continuity: The windows at the beginning of the episode are inconsistent. Sometimes they're transparent, sometimes opaque. As in the taxi, the newspaper stands and the shop windows.

Space Pilot 3000
Continuity: At the Cryogenic facility, right where Fry shouts "Pizza delivery for..." the desk is positioned almost parallel to the window, but when Fry sits down at the desk, its positioned perpendicular to the window. And Fry can't have moved the desk because in both shots the freezing chamber is placed behind it so he would have had to move that as well.
Deliberate "mistake": When the world is counting down to the new year, we see people in various countries, Egypt, the USA etc all counting down together. Because of time zone differences this isn't possible. [It is a little joke.]
Continuity: When Fry falls into the cryogenic chamber his whistle drops right next to the chair. When it cuts, the whistle is gone.
Continuity: When Fry is trapped in the Cryo-Tube we see the buildings being destroyed and rebuilt, the final city is rebuilt, Fry unfreezes and steps out of the Cryo-Tube and the buildings out the window are completely different.
Continuity: When Fry first meets Leela, there's a panel on the wall beside him. It has one red button at the bottom. In subsequent shots it has two buttons.
Continuity: When Fry and Leela discuss his career, as Fry says "But I don't like being a delivery boy", we see Leela has her hands on the table. When it cuts her hands are under the table.
Continuity: When Fry is queueing for the booth, he opens the piece of paper, showing the picture and writing. Just before he steps in to the booth, it's changed colour and gone blank, then in the next shot it's back as before.
Continuity: Inside the suicide booth when Bender has the coin tied to his finger, the size of the knot around his finger differs between shots.
Continuity: When Fry and Bender are at the bar, the barman hands Bender a bottle of liquor. He takes a big swig of it, but the level in the bottle remains the same.
Continuity: In the bar when Fry spots Leela outside he says "Oh, no. It's the cyclops", there is a can in front of him. When it cuts it's gone.
Continuity: When Leela is calling for backup outside the head museum (her call sign is 1BDI: One Beady Eye), her arm band switches from her right arm to her left.
Continuity: When Fry and Bender are in the museum and locked in the "Villains" room, Bender breaks the two girders in the window, and then his arms falls off. As he puts his arms back in, you can see behind him that the girders are back in place in the window.
Continuity: When Bender removes the bars from the cell, it leaves two small pieces of bar jutting out from the top of the window. When he bends another two bars to stop Leela from following them, the pieces are gone.
Continuity: When Leela, Fry and Bender are in Old New York, when they are all sitting down, after Bender gives Leela her ring back, she puts it on and then it disappears.
Episode Two: The Series Has Landed
Continuity: When the spaceman is delivering the 'Planet Express' package, the colour of the rocket on the box changes from black to green. The same thing happens to the spaceman when he's picked up by the large bird - the logo on his backpack changes colour.
Continuity: When the team are first seen having breakfast, Bender's liquor bottle disappears in one shot. Then when he takes a swig, there's no liquor in it and the label is blank.
Continuity: When Hermes is handing over the "Standard Legal Release" to Leela there is a red pen lying on the sheet. When it cuts the pen is brown and is lying beside the sheet.
Continuity: When Amy starts cleaning Bender with the pick, there are papers on the desk between his head and a pile of books. They disappear in later shots.
Continuity: When Amy lowers the magnetic hoist the keys get stuck under it. When the hoist gets onto the box the keys suddenly lie beside the hoist.
