Show season: Whole show  1  2  All

Reaping Havoc (season 1, episode 5)

Mistake Plot hole: When George gets into the lift at her office, her reflection is very obvious on the sliding doors, but we were told back in the pilot that Reapers have a different visage to the outside world that shows up in reflections, on camera etc.

Mistake Audio problem: Each time George mentions Millie's older brother Luke, the movements of her mouth don't match what's being said. It appears that the name was changed and then dubbed afterwards.

Sunday Mornings (season 1, episode 9)

Mistake Continuity: When Guggenheim is sitting on the bench after he dies, he reaches for the pink index card and his fingers pass through it. But then how did the index card get to the bench? He had it when the gas tank hit him, so it could make sense if he still had it "with" him, like his clothes, but if he can't touch it now, then it should have stayed with his body, inside the building.

Vacation (season 1, episode 13)

Mistake Continuity: When the reapers are inputting the data, they are only typing in the final thought. However, in every shot of the spreadsheets, there are entries for final thought, name, date, and location.

Mistake Other: In the copy room, George, after she speaks with Daisy in voice over, says "its 3am", but the clock on the wall behind Crystal shows 12:35 when George talks to Crystal.

Mistake Factual error: Towards the end of the episode, Mason reads a report on Daisy's death indicating she died 13 December 1938 in Marietta Georgia of smoke inhalation. It apparently was common knowledge that Daisy died on the set of Gone With The Wind (supported in the Halloween episode by someone who knew her when she was alive). The filming of the big fire scene in GWTW was 10 December 1938 so the dates are pretty close. But these early parts of the production of GWTW (and I believe the rest of the movie as well) were filmed in Culver City, CA, not Marietta.

Send in the Clown (season 2, episode 1)

Mistake Factual error: Rube refers to Bacchus and Neptune as "Greek Gods" - in fact, they're Roman (the Greek equivalents being Dionysus and Poseidon), which Rube (being well-read enough to mention them in the first place) should know.

The Ledger (season 2, episode 2)

Mistake Continuity: When Rube is going to give his keys to George, Daisy has a cup in her right hand, at her lips, and is looking at George. Next frame, opposite angle, she has the cup in her left hand, at chest level, and is looking at Rube.

The Shallow End (season 2, episode 4)

Mistake Continuity: When Daisy takes Stan to church, she takes a seat in the fourth row and sets her purse down. After the window breaks, she runs outside, leaving her purse in the pew. When she returns to find Stan gone, the purse is in the fifth row.

Hurry (season 2, episode 5)

Mistake Continuity: In the airport, when Mrs. Thibideaux (Roxy's reap) sees the cluttered luggage holding up her suitcase, she climbs over the first few bags and tosses the others down. Before she even started climbing, the conveyer belt was stopped which meant the luggage that she climbed over (including what looked like a bag with skis) would still be in the way. Yet when she falls, it's a clean slide down to break her neck.

Be Still My Heart (season 2, episode 9)

Mistake Plot hole: As Roxy takes Tess (Daisy's reap) out of the hotel room, she trails her fingers across the door frame and very obviously makes contact. The problem is that dead people are incorporeal, as we see within two seconds as she goes straight through the crime scene tape.

Death Defying (season 2, episode 10)

Mistake Other: When Rube is searching the hard-copy (paper) archives, the young man with him opens the last box and pulls out an old "Wanted" poster with Rube's face on it. He tells Rube "This guy looks just like you." Since season 1, episode 1, we've known that Grim Reapers don't look like they did when they were alive (i.e., Millie/Un-George). Yet somehow, Rube has not changed since his life/death.

Mistake Continuity: Near the beginning when Mason takes the notebook from Roxy, the camera is off the corner of the table showing all four seated at the booth. Roxy reaches across the table with one hand and for her gun with the other and starts to explain she will shoot Mason. The camera moves for a close up on Roxy and her hands are now in front of her, folded on the table.

Mistake Continuity: In the bar, just after Ray lost a pool game to Mason, they are watching a boxing match on TV. Ray begins to rack the balls and pulls out 4-5 balls and places them in the rack. The camera switches back and forth, Ray again pulls 4-5 balls out and racks them, but the original ones are gone. The camera switches back and forth again and when Ray is done racking the balls, the balls are in a different order than he placed. He is watching Mason, not looking where he places the balls. Watch the 2 and 11 balls.

Ashes to Ashes (season 2, episode 11)

Mistake Continuity: When Daisy is in the diner with the other reapers talking about her acting job, the fruit in her hand changes from a red grape or cherry to a green grape.

Mistake Audio problem: When Daisy is at the bar (acting), she gives Walter "5 reasons men come to a bar." When she says "Three: They wanna see that they're missing," her lips are not in sync with the words. It's tricky to see because they used a shot with the camera behind her.

Forget Me Not (season 2, episode 12)

Mistake Continuity: When George writes Nina's name on the sticky note she holds it up and we see the writing is small but then we see a close up and the writing it bigger and the handwriting is a little different.

Mistake Other: When Mason is punching the air and Nina imitates him the chair wiggles with the motion of her body but since she is dead she would pass through it.
