Character mistake: Ash Morgan tells the grifters that "Anxious" has a basement flat in Camden, and he sends Sean there to get phoney identity papers. It is quite clear that the flat is on the ground floor, not in a basement. The front door opens onto the street.
Communication Breakdown - S5-E19
Character mistake: When Mac, Stella, and Danny are trying to determine where the fired bullet entered the train car, none of them are wearing rubber gloves. But even though they're not handling any evidence, they're still processing a crime scene. (00:05:00)
Character mistake: When Grandad collapses, the Doc calls Morwenna's grandfather Mr. Dunwich, which is the surname of one of his patients in this episode. The grandfather has the same surname as Morwenna, which is Newcross.
Character mistake: Episode 6.12, Moving the Chains: Marcus tells House that he and Eric were arrested for stealing a car, he was 16 and Eric was 14. He also says that his brother never did anything criminal after that. In season 1, we were told that Eric was 16 when he was arrested for stealing a car.
Character mistake: When Bree calls the police when she hears a noise downstairs, she says she lives at 4355 Wisteria Lane when her address is in fact 4354 Wisteria Lane. 4355 is the Scavo residence, not the Van De Kamp residence.
The Peruvian Puff Pepper - S3-E2
Character mistake: Drake says he hasn't been in Megan's room since he was five, but he brings Grammy's bags up there in the episode "Grammy".
Character mistake: Rodney says that one hour in real time would give them months inside the field. This is incorrect because if the ratio of time were 1:250 as stated before, one hour would only convert to 250 hours, which is 10 days and 10 hours.
The Purple Panther: Part 1 - S3-E6
Character mistake: In the song 'The World Goes Round', Stingy sings about dinosaur bones from the Stone Age (the second verse). The dinosaurs were wiped out about 65 million years ago while the Stone Age started 2.5 million years ago, an obvious time gap.
Character mistake: Throughout the whole series Jin and Sun refer to each other as "yobo." The subtitles continually translate "yobo" as either "Jin" or "Sun" which is incorrect. "Yobo" is Korea's version of "dear" or "sweetheart."
School Elections & Talent Show - S1-E8
Character mistake: There is a campaign poster that reads, "Vote for Ned or Your Dead." "Your" should be spelled "You're."
Character mistake: Lorraine mistakenly tells Denny to "call 999" instead of 911, and when asked about it by Katie, denies having ever spent time in the UK (later revealed to be a lie). But this isn't some high-pressure slip of the tongue, she's highly intelligent and has been in America for a decent length of time, is working hard to maintain her facade of being born and bred American, so there's no way she'd slip up over such an obvious thing.
Character mistake: Professor Saotome checks the status of the Getter Robot when his son falls unconscious. The HUD output is written in awkward EngRish, from the first line of the status report, called; "Monitor the state of affairs", to smaller details like the article randomly used for certain lines ("a control device, a correspondent"). The biggest flub though is that the name of his son is "Tatsuhito", in proper romanization, but here appears as "Tatuto." (00:05:20)
Character mistake: In s01e08, "Q and A", Yelena moves her bishop to B6. The announcer says that's going to win it (the game gets interrupted at this point). However, that move does not put the computer (her opponent) into checkmate, it doesn't even put it into check. Her bishop is on a dark square and the computer's king is on a white square.
Breaking of the Sacred Seal - S3-E23
Character mistake: When Marcel activates his two face-down cards, he says "I'll start by revealing my two face-down cards which both happen to be Break the Seal spell cards", but they are trap cards as they are pink and spell cards are green. (00:15:10)
Character mistake: Logan tells Heather that Mario Kart (Double Dash) has an online mode. It does not.
Character mistake: Sasha refers to the 'murder' on Thursday 4th June 1982. The date in question was on a Friday.
Joey and the High School Friend - S2-E11
Character mistake: Michael and Jimmy appears to have behavioral similarities. Joey therefore asks Gina when she slept with Jimmy, implying that he might be the father. Gina answers "22 years ago." Joey then asks how old Michael is, and Gina answers "22 years and 9 months." What? So he was born 9 months before the conception? Shouldn't he be 21 years and 3 months? (00:11:40 - 00:12:20)
Character mistake: When Collier is meeting all the 4400s at the reunion, Shawn calls Isabelle Maia by mistake. (00:31:10)
Character mistake: Sue White suggests speaking in Portuguese but what she says next is actually Spanish. (The subtitles incorrectly say she is speaking Portuguese). (00:04:00)
Suggested correction: Theoretically correct, but it can be argued that the only evidence present is the bullet (which has DNA and prints burnt off when fired) and the body (which can only be handled by the MEs) gloves are not required.

What utter rubbish. No CSI would enter a crime scene without first putting on latex gloves - it is a carved-in-stone rule.
Exactly. Since Mac, Stella and Danny were processing a crime scene, they would need to wear gloves because without them, they would have contaminated a crime scene by not only getting their fingerprints over everything but, if one of them got a cut or scrape, their DNA would also be thrown into the mix and any defense attorney can call them out on their carelessness and have any evidence thrown out.
