Two and a Half Men (2003) - 36 mistakes in entire show

Continuity: In the second season episode entitled "Yes, Monsignor", Alan is sitting at the kitchen table talking to his son Jake about a math test that Jake got a bad grade on. At the beginning of the scene Alan holds the open test in his left hand. When the camera switches back to him a second later the test is now in his right hand. Finally at the end of the scene the test is back in his left hand but is now folded.

Other: Whenever Charlie is playing the piano, it is clear he really is not. We hear notes playing that his hand is nowhere near at the time.

Revealing: (Season 3: Episode 1 - "Weekend in Bangkok with Two Olympic Gymnasts"): When Allan falls off the ladder you can see the ladder has been set up so it will fall back safely. As the ladder goes back towards the balcony rail, it hits the railing and bounces up. The bottom of the ladder, which is unseen, seems to be planted as it does not move during this. When Allan was climbing up and down the ladder, it wasn't secured with anything at the bottom. Thus the reason for him falling off the ladder.

Audio problem: In the episode with Enrique Iglesias, Charlie comes out to the deck to get his girlfriend and asks, "Isn't there something you could sand?" His lips say, "Isn't there something you could saw?"

Continuity: When Charlie and Jake walk into the kitchen for the first time after going shopping, there is a dent in the fridge, when Alan comes in a few seconds later, the dent is gone.

Continuity: When Charlie goes into Jake's room and finds all the seagulls, they are projected. There is one right at the front that is very obvious.

Continuity: When Alan is on the balcony talking to Evelyn, a shot is shown from inside the house. Alan turns away from Charlie and puts his left hand on his hip. The shot changes and Alan's left hand is now in the air and then he puts it on his hip again.

Continuity: In the scene where Charlie and Prudence are talking about Berta, the amount of soap on Prudence's stomach changes throughout.

Continuity: As Judith is driving Jake home, you can see the fringe of his hair while he is still wearing his beanie. The next shot of him, the beanie is now covering the fringe.

Continuity: When Charlie and Bill are drinking beer at the table in the bar, the level of beer in Charlie's bottle varies from shot to shot.

Revealing: When Rose scares Charlie, he bangs into the wall and the entire wall moves.

Continuity: Near the end of the episode Alan says, "Well the point is you brought Jake into the relationship too soon." Just before he says that Judith's left arm is laying over her right and in the next shot her right is over her left.

Other: During this whole episode, Jake calls his mothers boyfriend Greg. But in the 4. season when Judith is marrying the guy, he is called Herb. We know that it is not two different persons because both persons last name is Melneck, and they are both Jake's pediatrician.

Continuity: When Charlie and Jake walk in on Judith and Alan kissing, Charlie says, "C'mon lets go boat shopping" to Jake. As they leave Charlie shuts the door twice.

Revealing: When Alan is banging on the bathroom door, the entire set is shaking.

Continuity: When Charlie and Berta are in the kitchen talking, Charlie sits down and places his coffee mug on the left side of his plate. A few shots later he is seen placing it again except this time on the right side of the plate. Then just as Berta exits the kitchen, Charlie's mug has now switched sides again, being on the left side of the plate.

Continuity: When Alan and Charlie are watching Judith take off her clothes on the monitor screen, Alan takes the newspaper he has in his right hand and puts it in his left hand to turn the monitor off. The next shot shows Charlie walking into the kitchen and Alan looks at him but now the paper is back in his right hand.

Continuity: When Charlie picks up Jake's shoe in the beginning it is facing up, when Jake takes it from Charlie's hand it turns itself upside down.

Revealing: When driving back after leaving Jake in the rain, the rain that settles on the bonnet of the car starts to pool. On a moving car this doesn't happen. Therefore you can tell the car wasn't moving.

Factual error: Three times during the episode, when Jake is playing his DS, one of the characters plugs in the headphones. However, the cable is inserted into the socket for the charger on the top of the DS, instead of the headphone socket, which is located on the bottom.
