Across whole show

The weather is never depicted correctly for Wisconsin. Mostly, there's never enough (or any) snow in the January/February/March episodes. [While there is never a LOT of snow on the ground, house, cars, etc., there are numerous times that there is snow on the driveway and the yard. The days that we see in the show are just those days without a lot of snow. Not really a mistake, just a choice of the writers.]

Jacky says that green M&M's make you boring, even though that colour of M&M wasn't made until 1998. [Yeah, that would be the blue M&M that was created in 1998. Not the green, which has been around for longer, say, since 1960. But it was taken out in 1976 due to the food coloring and brought back in 1987 according to this website: http://www4.district125.k12.il.us/faculty/mfinlay/webFall02/timelines/Rothfeld/m&mhistory.html]

In the Episode "A New Hope" Fez states that, "My country never got in a war." But in the episode "That '70s Musical," Fez says, "We won the war, buddy." [Fez was talking to his British principal (in "That '70s Musical") thus meaning the American revolution. In "A new Hope" he means his native country.]
Edit
In the beginning of the episode where Bob and Red are competing with their Veteran's Day barbeques, Red is seen wearing the uniform of a Chief Boatswains Mate (BMC). However in a later episode where Kitty and Red are trying to remember how they met, in a flashback, Red is seen wearing the uniform of a Machinist Mate 2nd Class (MM2). Surely he advanced in rank, but I doubt he changed rates (jobs). [Changing ratings would not be unheard of especially in war time - Red may have started as a machinist mate but could certainly have used on-the-job training to switch to a boatswain's mate. He does indicate that he piloted patrol boats during the war. Generally a MM wouldn't do that but a BM might.]

The Good Son (series 1)

At the 17 or 18 minute mark of the show, Hyde is doing dishes, Eric is behind him with a carton of milk, and Fez & Kelso sit at the counter as Kelso peels a banana. While Eric is griping that Hyde does too many chores around the house and makes him look bad to Red, Kelso takes a bite from that banana. You can plainly see that when he does this be breaks the banana, but when it cuts back a few scenes later, the banana isn't broken anymore [The banana is still broken, the top part is just sitting flat against the break and the break is difficult to see.]

Grandma's Dead (series 1)

In the scene where Kitty is making all the food because she is sad, she reaches into the oven and pulls out a tray of food. She doesn't even put on an oven mitt and she doesn't burn herself. [Many people place already prepared food in low temperature or turned off oven to keep the food warm. The oven is not at a temperature that would cause burns, so an oven mit is not necessary. Since Kitty was preparing a large amount of food, it makes sense that she would do this.]
Edit
In the scene where Eric is driving Grandma home, he tells her it wouldn't kill her to be nice and she dies. Eric realizes this and slams on the brakes. You can see Grandma's eyes open then close before she hits the dashboard. [Since we see no physical injuries nor signs of pain we must assume Grandma had a fatal heart attack or stroke, neither of which would have killed her instantly - though Eric would think she had died on the spot. Obviously she dies shortly after hitting the dashboard.]
Edit

Punk Chick (series 1)

This episode was supposed to air before 22 (1x22) "The Water Tower", because in this episode where Eric tries to talk some sense into Hyde about moving to NY he speaks of "we were going to paint a pot-leaf on the water-tower" something they already did in the episode before. [In "The Water Tower," everyone agrees that their pot leaf looks like a green hand giving the finger, then Kelso has his fall, so they might regard that as a failure and still be planning to do it right next time.]

While cuddling in the car Donna tells her boyfriend that she isn't wearing a bra when it is obvious that she is [I looked at the scene and, when Donna tells Eric she isn't wearing a bra, it is not obvious at all that she is. She is wearing a sweater and at no time do you see her back or her front below her shoulders. Even if she is wearing one - you can't tell from that scene.]

A New Hope (series 1)

This is the only episode that doesn't use the theme song. [This was the FIRST episode to not use the theme song. There were several (at least 2 in Season 4 and 3 in Season 5) that didn't use the theme song. They just showed the credits over the action of the moment.]

That Wrestling Show (series 1)

In the locker room, The Rock, playing father Rocky Johnson, uses the phrase "sports entertainment." That euphemism wasn't created until the 1990s. [It's intentional and a joke. Professional wrestling is "sports entertainment" as opposed to a "sport." I have always found the scene pretty humorous because of the phrasing. Besides which, there is no reason why Rocky cannot use the euphemism in the '70s. They are just words that he believes describes his business. It's not like he referred to a "laptop computer", something that would have been totally unknown in the 70s.]

Stolen Car (series 1)

According to the official website, Point Place is a suburb of Green Bay, WI. Midge can't make meat loaf for Bob because she is taking a class at a community college in Kenosha, which is about 2.5 hours away from Green Bay. Kenosha gets mentioned in other episodes as well. [There may have been no place closer for Midge to take the classes she wanted. I would imagine "Woman Warriors" would not be a big curriculum item in the mid-70s at colleges. Even though 2.5 hours could be a bit excessive to drive, she could certainly do it. She is shown getting home very late at night. The other mentions of Kenosha never make notice that Kenosha is 5 minutes away or so - just that something is happening in Kenosha.]

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (series 1)

When Kitty goes into the basement and asks for a cigarette - the sleeve of the person that hands her one does not match that of any of the characters there. [It was meant to be a joke. I always thought it was funny.]
Edit

Thanksgiving (series 1)

In the scene where Eric and Kate kiss, Eric enters the room saying he needs something to sleep in and grabs something. But when he's leaving (after they've kissed) he leaves without the clothes he's grabbed. [After the "kiss" he had just gone through, it would not be unnatural for him to forget what he came in for - since it was obviously a convenient excuse to go into his bedroom. Also, who's to say, he didn't turn right around and get the clothes once he remembered.]
Edit

Drive-In (series 1)

When Eric and Donna are on the hood of the Vista Cruiser, their heads go through the non-existent windshield. [There are views where you can see reflections off the windshield and you can also see them "propped" up by the windshield. The windshield is definitely there. The shot never cuts away from them so the windshield remains there. The "non-existant windshield" is, as stated, an optical illusion.]

Guys are sitting in basement, Fez is sent home by Red. While Kelso speaks, you can hear that Fez opens and closes doors. But in the next shot - Fez is standing in front of open door. [That sound is actually Red opening and shutting the door they use to get in and out of the basement, not Fez.]
Edit

The Keg (series 1)

When everyone is in the pool and Kelso convinces Jackie that having a party is a bonus - Jackie is the one who raises her arm in support instead of Kelso. You can tell as the sleeve is orange and Kelso is wearing a yellow armed shirt [Look closer. Jackie is actually holding on to Kelso with her feet off the ground and both hands around his neck. When Kelso raises his hand, he picks up Jackie's arm a bit and you see some of the orange red of Jackie's shirt. However, it is definitely Kelso that raises his arm in a clenched fist. Jackie's hands are around Kelso's neck.]
Edit

The '70s Pilot (series 1)

In the opening scene, the boys are looking at a Playboy centerfold, circa 1976. However, the magazine is perfect bound, not saddle stitched (stapled) as Playboys were at that time. [It is not a Playboy. It is difficult to read the writing but it is definitely not a Playboy. In a later episode, Hyde is looking at a "Layboy". They didn't use the real magazines. Therefore, since it is "not" a Playboy, the binding is not a mistake.]
Edit Corrected by Zwn Annwn
In the opening scene when they toast Eric stealing something he is holding his beer upside down. [Believable character mistake.]
Edit

Cat Fight Club (series 2)

When Red is in the future and his jet pack lifts him up you can see two white lines [looks like they were put in digitally to cover the black lines] pulling him up. [They purposely add this to make it look funny and cheesey.]
