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.

Continuity mistake: Just before the portal opens where Sonic comes out by a water fall, you get a good view of the ground around where he comes out at and there are no holes.

Hindsight: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Domino is playing pool, in the wide shot, she is shown at the one of the corner pocket sides of the table, with Toad perched on the left corner pocket across from her. When the shot changes to her getting ready to take her shot, she is now standing on one of the side pocket sides of the table, with Toad similarly perched on the corner pocket on the left across from her, only now it would be on the same end of the table where she was originally standing. (00:21:57)

When Batman arrives, there's a shot of the cards, but the Ace is no longer turned over. When he makes the comment about seeing another playing card, the shot changes and there's now 5 piles but not in a neat pile.

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka picture

First, I'm a teacher - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Onizuka is on his bike with Mizuki after she utterly murdered the sushi plate. He is still reminiscing about the sweet prime cut tuna while he is at the traffic lights. Several people cross the street; there is a family with a little kid, and a guy in a denim jacket. In the wide shot it's clear that the family is to the guy's left, but in the tighter angle the guy passes them by on the opposite side. (00:34:00)

Partners, Am I Right? - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Kate goes to see the LARPers at the park to track down the trick arrows, her cross-body leather strap changes direction repeatedly. At first, it hangs from Kate's right shoulder to her left hip, but when Kate asks about the cop in their group, the strap hangs from her left shoulder. Then the leather strap reverts to the original way, only to switch yet again after the fist bump. None of the shots are flipped. (00:20:10)
