A Vision of Sugar Plums - S1-E15
Factual error: Samantha looks out a back dormer window to see Darrin in the front yard.
Character mistake: When Darrin is on the deck of the yacht, he says something about the salt air. The problem is earlier he was told that he was going to Chicago to meet Miss Marshall for a dinner meeting. The only body of water to support a yacht 3 miles off shore is Lake Michigan which is fresh water.
A Nice Little Dinner Party - S1-E19
Continuity mistake: The train shown is pulled by four diesel locomotives, "A" unit leads with two "B" units sandwiched between a second "A" unit. When Mrs. Stevens pulls the emergency stop cord, which would not likely be on a long distance passenger train, the locomotive shown doing an emergency stop is a steam one. Not to mention that by the time of this episode steam engines were obsolete, and less likely to have been employed, especially in passenger service.
Red Light, Green Light - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: When Dave sees Darrin's ad for the community meeting, he suggests a couple of changes, one of them being to add a line saying "and bring your friends". But the ad was shown in close-up shortly before Dave's arrival, and there was already a line saying "Be sure and bring all your friends". (00:13:35)
Which Witch is Which? - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: Sam gets fitted for a "new" dress that she wore in earlier episodes 7,10,and 13.
Driving is the Only Way to Fly - S1-E26
Visible crew/equipment: As Harold and Samantha drive away from the traffic jam, part of the camera rig is reflected in the side window of the car. (00:16:00)
There's No Witch Like an Old Witch - S1-E27
Visible crew/equipment: As Samantha helps Aunt Clara out of the closet, as Samantha says, "Don't go 'way!" the boom mike's shadow becomes momentarily visible at the top of the screen. (00:02:00)
Open the Door Witchcraft - S1-E28
Deliberate mistake: Sam and Darrin are "trapped" in the garage; however, you can see a side door.
Visible crew/equipment: When Abner comes over to the Stephens' near the end to say Gladys' problem has got worse, just as the door is closing a crew member's hand can be seen near the Bob ensuring it closes. This is just before the shot goes to Darrin.
Continuity mistake: When Darrin steps outside for the morning paper, neighbor Dora O' Riley is working on the lettering of her mailbox. Darrin gets locked out of his house. He goes to a window, turns back to Dora and says "I got locked out". The lettering on the mailbox is completely different. (00:00:48 - 00:01:27)
Continuity mistake: Louise and Larry have been married 10 years. When Louise gets pregnant in Season 1 ep 12 she says she has been married for 14 years. So this would be their 16th anniversary.
Continuity mistake: The shaving cream smears on the mirror are different in the close-ups than they are on the wider shots. (00:04:25)
Continuity mistake: When Sam is looking for Darrin to tell him the good news, Aunt Clara walks into the living room holding the large book with its cloth bookmark hanging over the top front of the book (facing Sam), but in the next shot the bookmark has switched to hanging over the top back of the book (facing Clara). (00:13:40)
Continuity mistake: When Aunt Clara tells Sam not to worry about Darrin because she has her book of spells, there's a closeup of the book with its binding facing left and Clara pointing to the large title "Spells and Incantations" on its cover, but in other shots Clara's holding the book with its binding facing right (we see Vol. 7 on the binding) so the cover is facing the opposite way, and there is no title on the cover. (00:14:00)
Continuity mistake: Aunt Clara crashes into the pagoda and is helped up by Darrin and Samantha. They head inside and you can see Aunt Clara's purse sitting in the pagoda to the bottom left. But when all three enter the house, Aunt Clara is now carrying her purse. (01:14:00 - 01:20:00)
A Very Special Delivery - S2-E2
Visible crew/equipment: Darrin and Larry sit down for a meeting. Against the glass wall of the meeting room behind them you can see the shadow of a boom mic.
A Very Special Delivery - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: When Darrin and Samantha are in a bar with a man eating popcorn. The place mat changes position and the drink moves closer to the man from one shot to the next.
Revealing mistake: When Endora turns Darrin into "Ringo"/"Prince Valliant" when he touches his "hair", it moves, revealing it's a wig.
Other mistake: The map behind the officer is of Southern California. The series is supposed to be set in the NY tri-state area. (00:12:45)
Aunt Clara's Old Flame - S2-E11
Revealing mistake: Aunt Clara levitates her doorknob collection to put it away. As they pass in front of her, the wires used to make them levitate become visible. (00:06:15)
Answer: The original diamond and white gold heart necklace was given to Elizabeth Montgomery by her then real-life husband, William Asher, who also directed the show. She wore it in nearly every early episode. When the necklace was lost or stolen about mid-way through the series, Montgomery had two replicas made from rhinestones. She wore either one of those for the rest of the show's run.
