The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Character mistake: In his argument with Leonard regarding Superman's ability to fly, Sheldon states that in Superman 1, Lois Lane is two feet off the ground when Superman catches her as she falls from the helicopter. Not so. Superman catches Lois at least ten stories up. Additionally, both Penny and Sheldon say Superman "swoops down" to save Lois. Penny can be forgiven, but Sheldon would know better: Superman flies UP from ground level to catch Lois. (00:02:30)
The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when the gang is reading the furniture assembly instructions, a pencil in the cup in front of them suddenly vanishes. (00:19:00)

Visible crew/equipment: When Sheldon is mentioning about the coffee table having a garage sale, there is a shot of Leonard with all the stagelights reflected in the kettle. (00:06:40)
The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Audio problem: When Penny is talking to Raj on the stairs to the apartments, during some shots we see her from behind. In one shot, we hear her say something like "And I'm freaking out", but you can tell by the way her jaw moves that she was actually saying something different. (00:14:50)
The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Sheldon is cleaning, he moves an iPod dock and the iPod lights up. Camera changes and the iPod is unlit. A few shots later it's lit again. (00:09:00)

Visible crew/equipment: When Leonard opens the door at the start a yellow tape marker is visible in the centre of the door way. (00:00:40)
The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: At the very end of the episode we see Penny with her hands on the corner of the piece of wood. Camera cut and now they are in the middle. (00:19:50)

Continuity mistake: When Sheldon says the line about having no peers when cleaning the apartment, there is a pair of jeans on the side which disappears when the camera cuts. (00:10:00)

Continuity mistake: When cleaning Penny's apartment, Sheldon is holding up a jacket. Camera cuts and he is no longer holding the jacket up. (00:09:50)
The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Leonard and Sheldon are pushing the box up the stairs, the position of the box on the stairs changes instantly. In one shot it is flush against the wall, then in the centre of the stairs. (00:05:20)
The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Other mistake: Leonard is awoken by the apartment door closing. When he walks into the living room the door is open. (00:08:55)
Suggested correction: He's awoken by a door closing, not necessarily the front door. He could have heard Sheldon closing his door.

The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Character mistake: Sheldon does not do his 3x OCD knock on Penny's door.
Suggested correction: That quirk wasn't brought into the series until halfway through the first season. The one-knock Sheldon happened a couple of times before it became the three knock habit.
