Fastest Criminal in Reno - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Fast Eddie jumps over the road block and comes crashing down you can see from the severity of the landing that the front left side of the vehicle is seriously damaged as is probably the rest of the front of the vehicle. However when the camera shows the shock on the Officers faces of what's taken place and then pans back as Fast Eddie drives away, his car shows no damage whatsoever.

Raising Hope picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the second episode Sabrina says the grocery store got bought and it was called "Howdy's" now or something like that (the uniform used to be red and then it was blue with those neck ties). In the episode where Burt, Jimmy and Virginia get kicked out, they visit the grocery store to steal food and they're wearing the blue uniform (as Howdy's grocery store) but it was way before Jimmy had Hope, and Hope was with him when the outfits were red.

The Help picture

Pahtay - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Maria talks about wanting to throw the vase to the floor, the vase changes between shots. When she eventually throws it to the floor it's the original vase. This was most likely done due to a retake that had to be shot after the original vase was thrown to the floor and destroyed.
