Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gary is at the end of the table talking about Golf, he's actually seated in front of the table as seen by how he grabs his cup in front of him. In the very next shot, he's no longer sitting in front of the table and is sitting past it.

Steve Austin, Fugitive - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: The background behind Hopper while he is in the man lift changes from shot to shot. In the close ups of him in the man lift's basket, there is a striped wooden wall, but the long shot of the man lift in the raised position shows an open wooden railing behind it.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: This show has been widely declared as canonical with the games, by the makers of both this show and the games. The game Fallout 4 establishes the date and time that the bombs drop: Saturday, October 23, 2077, 9:47 AM Eastern Time. Which means it was 6:47 AM West Coast Time. That's a pretty weird time of day to schedule a kids' party with lots of guests and a hired celebrity cowboy.

Suggested correction: They changed a lot of subtle things from canon for the show. Also, all games have got some inconsistencies between them as well. In the show, on the TV, there is a clock that says it's around 9:30 AM the first time we see it and 10:45 when they cut the cake, so it's close to the afternoon and not very early in the morning. The position of the sun confirms this.

Martial Law picture

Sammo Blammo - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene at the bank, he has a bomb attached to him and an ex-bad guy handcuffed next to him, the handcuff is roughly a foot long, making the distance short between him and the guy next to him. Sammo fights a gang of thugs in the bank and does a swing round kick and his handcuff is detached or widens by 3-4 ft. The guy on the floor is rolling around to make it look like he is attached to Sammo, but is clearly not.

Forced Perspective - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Rev Bem returns for this episode, however the costume department seems to have forgotten all the changes his character went through a couple seasons ago. His face is distinctly more Magog than it should be, and his hands have reverted back into clawed fingers.
