Family Ties - S4-E17
Other mistake: All of Scarlet Witch's screams in this episode are recycled from Lady Deathstrike screaming in the season 3 episode "Out of the Past, Part 1." (00:16:55)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: When Magneto rescues Beast, the purple border at the base of his helmet is suddenly red. (00:17:15)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: When the mutated Wolverine picks up and throws Xavier, before Beast comes to aid him there is nothing immediately around Xavier but the ground. When the shot changes, Xavier and Beast are suddenly next to a cliff wall. (00:17:55)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is mutated into a werewolf-like monster, portions of his costume are torn up including his boots. When he reverts back into human form, his boots are still torn up, but his bare feet are still colored blue. (00:19:10)
Family Ties - S4-E17

Family Ties - S4-E17
Other mistake: The final shot of Magneto flying away is a recycled shot from the season 2 episode "Reunion, Part 2." (00:20:40)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Other mistake: This series is in the same continuity as the other Marvel animated series that aired around the same time - Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Fantastic Four - by virtue of each aforementioned show crossing over with at least one of the other shows. However, in Iron Man, Scarlet Witch has an Eastern European accent, and in this episode she has an American accent.
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Sabretooth is terrorizing the police and civilians, it is broad daylight outside. When Beast and Jubilee are shown approaching the scene in the Blackbird just before dispersing tranquilizing gas, it is twilight. (00:01:00 - 00:01:50)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Revealing mistake: The shot of police cars surrounding Sabretooth and him throwing one of them into the air is a recycled shot of the very first shot in the series from the season 1 episode "Night of the Sentinels, Part 1." It's even revealed a few minutes later in the episode that this isn't actually Sabretooth, but a Phalanx facsimile that has taken his form, which makes the fact that Sabretooth's actions are being recycled all the more dubious. (00:01:35)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Audio problem: When Sabretooth is holding up the two cops, one of them says "Put me down! Put me down!" But neither of them are moving their mouths. (00:01:45)

The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Beast is running from the Phalanx through the mansion's hallways, his trunks go from being Speedo-like to resembling basketball shorts. (00:06:50)

Revealing mistake: When Beast lunges away from the Phalanx disguised as several people in hazmat suits, after he lands he glides across the grass. (00:08:15)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Other mistake: As usual, Wolverine's jeep is missing its windshield. (00:08:25)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Beast is trying to escape the Phalanx in Wolverine's jeep, he has to drive down a considerably long road just to reach the gates to the mansion. In all previous episodes, the road leading to the mansion is barely longer than a driveway. (00:08:35 - 00:09:10)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Beast replays the video of Warlock's tissue sample assimilating the metal, the human and mutant tissue samples on the left have disappeared. (00:11:35 - 00:12:30)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Beast says "And we waited until you arrived," his eyebrows keep changing from blue to black. (00:16:10)
The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Sinister blasts the Phalanx-civilians, his gloves are red. A couple of shots later, his gloves are their usual blue. (00:17:50)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
