House, M.D. (2004) - 22 mistakes in series 1
starring Hugh Laurie, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Robert Sean Leonard
Paternity
Occam's Razor
Continuity: The text with the symptoms written on the board changes several times, watch the letter F on the left. Sometimes it has a line across it, sometimes not. Submitted by Sacha
Continuity: When Allison talks to Robert about her sexual drives, she places her hair behind the ear, but seconds later the hair gets loose, but only in the front shots. In the back ones it remains fixed around her ear. Submitted by Sacha
Factual error: House is playing 'Metroid: Zero Mission' on his Gameboy at various times. The Metroid series does not feature space monkeys, nor are there distinct levels. The sounds coming from the game in the show do not match it in real life, and Samus morphing into a ball is most definitely not a failure state.
Continuity: When Robert is telling Allison about the sexual life of the patient, her reflection shows her turning around. When the shot changes, she is back in place repeating the movement. Submitted by Sacha
Maternity
Revealing: All the babies in the incubation room are, very evidently, dolls. When one is driven inside, his cries are heard but he doesn't mouth them. Submitted by Sacha
Revealing: Exactly ten minutes to the end, the couple with the baby Maxine are waiting to hear how she is doing. The mom and the husband are sitting on a bench outside the room in which their daughter is being treated. The mom lies down on her husband. She is supposed to have given birth only recently, so she still has a big tummy. As she lies against her husband, however, it is clear that she is wearing a prosthetic stomach: her blue T-shirt tucks and crinkles into and around it in a way that shows it is not an organic part of her.
Revealing: The baby that opens the episode is a real one in the close shots and a doll in the others. First of all he doesn't move, and second, his skin colour is totally different. Submitted by Sacha
Damned If You Do
The Socratic Method
Fidelity (aka: Truth or Consequences)
Detox
Sports Medicine
Continuity: During the scene where Dr. Chase and Dr. Cameron are out having a drink, Cameron picks up Dr. Foreman's cell phone. Before she does she takes a drink of her soda. This drink drops the level of drink to half full. When Foreman returns a few seconds later she suddenly has a glass that is 3/4 full. There was no time for anyone to give her a refill.
Control
Continuity: As House describes the lady's symptoms, in the front shot Chase has a small book/pamphlet in his hand. The camera changes to a side shot in the middle of House's description and suddenly the book is on the table and no longer in Chase's hand. This happens right in the middle of House's line and Chase doesn't make any quick movements to account for this discrepancy.
Mob Rules
Heavy
Continuity: When House writes "temporary psychosis" and circles it on the white dry erase board, both the words and circle change repeatedly in the following shots. Submitted by Rikki
