Heart of Darkness - S2-E1

Other mistake: During the 3-nightmare sequences, there are 25 students, with all desks full. However, 1 desk should have been left open as Kevin appears in the dreams, meaning there should only be 24 students.

Polar Special - S9-E8

Other mistake: When Mattie first gets her kite out, Richard says that they are in the same fjord where Jeremy and James went through the ice. If so, the scenery has changed remarkably in a couple of days. All the blue ice is gone and so are the cliffs, which prevented Jeremy and James driving out. He can't have taken a different route as the fjord is only a mile wide.

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka picture

Show generally

Other mistake: During the first dozen or so episodes, during the opening credits, Onizuka is shown spray-painting a picture of a woman on a wall, with the words "Love" and "Piece" written next to her. Obviously, "piece" is a mistranslation, and the wrong spelling. The correct text should read "Love" and "PEACE."

Stranger at the Gates (Part 1 of 2) - S2-E3

Other mistake: In a previous episode ("A Breath of French Air") Ma explains to a french fisherman that she's used to cooking fish as the Larkins have both a pond and a river near their home. In this episode Montgomery complains that there is nowhere around for him to fish.

The 45-Year-Old Man - S1-E24

Other mistake: In this episode, the news team is asked to go to the office of the head of the station. Before the scene, the camera pans up the building to one of the top floors. In the scene, you can see shorter buildings outside the office including a dome on top of a building that could be a church or a government building, which would never be that tall. The biggest mistake is that you can see trees right outside the building. There are no trees that would ever be that tall either.

Ellen picture

Show generally

Other mistake: The establishing shots of Buy The Book make it clear that there is an optometrist next to Buy The Book, but in the season three episode premiere Shake Rattle and Rubble, a major plot point is that there is a dry cleaners next to the store, which is not only wrong but impossible.

Lizzie McGuire picture

Misadventures in Babysitting - S1-E8

Other mistake: When Mr. McGuire is trying to get back into the house to check on how Lizzie is doing babysitting, the lock chain is on the door, so he grabs a saw to cut through it. He begins to saw it - however he forgot to take the yellow cover off of the metal blade. (00:18:40)

Opposites Attract: Night of the Locust (3) - S2-E15

Other mistake: The filming of the spycam at the dance doesn't make sense. Grandpa and Judy are roughly the same height. The spycam was placed in his shirt pocket. Yet, when he looks over at her, her head is right in the middle of the shot, when in reality it would have been much higher up, and likely out of frame.

Rocko's Modern Life picture

Show generally

Other mistake: In the show's introduction, the giant clock comes and smashes a baseball cap on Rocko, growing him up. Then, when the giant blue hand picks him up, the baseball cap disappears mid-shot, with no explanation. (00:00:15)

Kath and Kim picture

Sport - S1-E3

Other mistake: When Kath is taking Kim down to train for netball, she gives her a drink bottle and tells her to keep her fluids up. Kim takes a sip, but look at the bottle, there's nothing in it.

Weeds picture

Van Nuys - S5-E5

Other mistake: When Andy pulls his piece of meat out of the fondue pot it hasn't been cooked at all. The fondue obviously hasn't been turned on (in the next shot he sticks some meat in his mouth, which has been cooked and is smaller).

The April Fools - S4-E12

Other mistake: When Roger writes the note after Kel glues his mouth shut, Kenan reads back far more than Roger could realistically have written in the short amount of time he took to write it.

Boston Legal picture

Angel of Death - S3-E11

Other mistake: As Denny asks "did she sleep in your room?" Alan leaves Denny's hotel room, pulling the door behind him. The swinging door catch is in the closed position, sticking out from the door frame which would prevent the door from being able to shut - the shot cuts a fraction before impact and we hear the sound of the door closing anyway.
