Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

Where the Heart Is (1) - S2-E6

Factual error: During the arrival at Beacon Hill, Colleen tells the girls during tea that the streets in Colorado Springs are all dirt, not the cobblestones as corrected by one of the girls (when Colleen referred to the Boston streets as rocks). When, in fact, several road scenes around Boston in several scenes are dirt or dried mud.

Runaway Train - S5-E1

Other mistake: Toward the end, when Mike is snuggling at the window with Sully, the candle on the wall near them isn't lit. But there is ominous light about them, obviously from the studio set.

Epidemic - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: While Dr. Mike is unsuccessfully trying to make supper Olive returns with the children, and after Olive says goodbye to them, when Dr. Mike closes the door a white T-mark is visible on the porch. (00:08:55)

The Abduction (1) - S2-E22

Visible crew/equipment: Matthew is talking to Hank in the saloon about Hank's horse that Brian wants. After Hank agrees to let Brian work for him to pay for the horse, Matthew walks out of the saloon. The camera pans to the left slightly and a microphone can be seen moving behind Hanks head. (00:32:30)

Lindsay LeValley Mackey

Best Friends - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning when Colleen and Becky are talking to the boy, there is a boy walking in the background. When he loses his hat, he is behind the boy talking to the girls. In the next shot he is already behind the two girls, which is quite a great distance to cover in a split-second. (00:06:30)

Ladies' Night (2) - S3-E12

Audio problem: Just before Dorothy has her operation, Mike is seated at her desk looking through her medical books. Sully pays a visit to comfort her. During their moment, you can hear slight foot shuffling from the camera crew in the foreground - which is not coming from the outside. Also, you hear a slight grunting during a pause in their conversation.

Saving Souls - S2-E5

Audio problem: At the end of the episode during the Old Time Religion song, we see a few people mouthing the words to the song but their lips are not really in synch, same with their clapping.

Ladies' Night (2) - S3-E12

Visible crew/equipment: Loren wakes Dorothy in the middle of the night to mention selling the store and taking her on a trip to New York. While seated at her bedside, you can see shadows of a crew member on the bed pillows next to her, and hear some muffled foot movement while Loren is seated, talking to her.

Tin Star - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When the whole town comes to support Matthew, we can see Hank and the reverend walking up behind him. A few seconds later, we see them both again, now they're walking with Colleen and Brian, and they have just come around the corner to see what all the fuss is about.

Brother's Keeper - S4-E4

Factual error: None of the Swedish wedding traditions Ingrid mention actually existed in the 19th century and the bread she's baked is not traditionally Swedish. When she later speaks in her mother tongue it's definitely not Swedish.

The Orphan Train - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: When the orphan is trying to steal the cigar's from Mr. Bray and has to smoke two of them at the time, in one shot, both of them are only half lit, in the next shot they are burnt down about half an inch. (00:35:50)

Ronnie Bischof

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - S1-E1

Factual error: When the woman is giving birth and Dr. Quinn has to perform a c-section, she gives the baby to Mrs. Cooper, and after about a minute, she gives the baby to the mother. Dr. Quinn then leans towards Mrs. Cooper and they smile happily; she doesn't attempt to continue the "surgery". Even nowadays doctors need several minutes to close up again after a c-section, so there is no way that Dr. Quinn was anywhere near finished. Leaving the patient cut open on the bed is pretty irresponsible, something she would never do as she has to prove that she is a good M.D. (00:30:00)

Happy Birthday - S1-E12

Visible crew/equipment: When Dr. Mike tells Jake that he's not ready to go home, a black chalk T-mark is visible on the floor near the door. Then as Jake pounds on the door he tells her he has a business to run, and the moving boom pole casts a shadow on the wall, at the top, right side of the screen. (00:26:35)

Super Grover

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: The morning after Dr. Mike and Sully spend the night with the Cheyenne, when Wolf finds a ripped piece of Brian's shirt Sully tells the wolf to find him, and three shots later just as the camera pans toward the right, in this wideshot a crew member (presumably the animal trainer) who is standing on the hill ducks behind the bushes, near the top center of the screen. (01:05:30)

Super Grover

A Washington Affair (1) - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Jesse and Brian enter the President's office from The Secret passage shortly after Sen. Steward and Capt. Burgoyne leave. When the two boys hear the door rattle, Jesse whispers to Brian that somebody's coming and they race off Right. The President's desk is still in 3/4 view, and remains so as Burgoyne re-enters and goes to the desk, noticing the open cabinet door, which he checks. He hears movement and voices a threat, then goes to check the curtains only to find nothing. The camera then pans down to show Jesse and Brian hiding scared under the desk. Given the brief timespan, the two boys could not possibly have moved there without Burgyone noticing their presence.

Dr. Cassidy: It's your funeral, Reverend.
Rev. Timothy Johnson: Yes, it is. And I would like to wait on it.

Legend - S5-E9
