CSI: NY (2004) - 10 mistakes in series 1

Audio problem: When Mac and co. enter the basement of the house in Queens (the one where the third woman was found) the record player lifts off its needle and moves to another spot on the record, cutting off the sound for a second. However, the music starts again slightly before the needle hits the record.

Continuity: When the girl first arrives at the party, she places her hand on the white car, right above the grille. Later, when Stella takes the photo, the hand print has moved over to the side.

Continuity: Stella prints the pictures of 6 suspects. Mac takes them all, holds one up and says : "That's the man we're looking for." But only 5 pictures comes out of the printer - and the picture of the suspect isn't among them. Mac holds up the picture of an black guy with afro hairdo - the suspect is white with rumpled black hair. Where does his picture come from ?

Continuity: In autopsy, Mac, Stella and Dr. Hawkes M.E. are examining a skeleton that was found on a bus. As Mac asks about cause of death, Sheldon points to a skull fracture that is evident above the skeleton's left eye, a fracture that wasn't there when the skeleton was first discovered sitting in the back of the bus.

Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning when the robot is lifting fingerprints from the suitcase, you can see a person walking around in the background-something not likely when there is a bomb threat.

Factual error: In the episode Recycling the woman with the knitting needle stated that she knits her dog things like the blanket he is sitting on. The blanket (a granny square blanket) is a crocheted blanket not knitted.

Continuity: At the beginning of the episode when Mac & Stella first look in the box at the beach, Lucas' head is at the back right corner of the box with a leg wedged from the back left to the back right corner and the back quite uppermost. When they open the box in the lab and go to remove it with the doctor, the head is in the front right corner with arms and legs visible uppermost like the body has been rotated, but it would not have been touched or removed from the box by that point. The second arrangement of the body is shown in the flashbacks throughout the episode.

Plot hole: The CSIs catch a murder suspect putting down a drink can when reviewing security footage of a robbery, and immediately realise they didn't see it at the scene so assume one of the first cops on the scene must have removed it. Thing is though, the murderers shot out the security camera before the actual shooting occurred, meaning there was loads of time off-camera for the killers to take the can with them, but the CSIs never even consider this - they jump to the conclusion a cop took it even though there's no actual evidence for that.

Character mistake: In the morgue, Stella initially identifies Gilbert Novotny as "George Novotny", however, correctly identifies him later in the scene. He is referred to as Gilbert through remainder of episode.

Factual error: They are suppose to be in Yankee Stadium investigating the death of the man they found in his truck. But they are not in Yankee Stadium, the color and configuration of the seats are not correct, they are in the L.A. Coliseum.
