Suggested correction: This isn't really so much a mistake as it was a character tweaking, which happens often in TV series.

The Hamburger Postulate - S1-E5
Character mistake: When Sheldon knocks on Penny's door to seek advice about the tie on Leonard's doorknob, he does not use his typical triple knock. (00:07:43)

First time he knocks 3 times is in Episode 2 of Season 1. First time knocking 3 times followed by saying the name is episode 10 of Season 1. The ritual of 3 knocks and 3 times saying the name and then stopping is Episode 5 of season 2.
Sheldon knocks three times because he once walked into his parents bedroom and saw his father with another woman. He's been doing the triple knock since he was a teenager.
Yet, he didn't in the show till Season 2. Funny ain't it?
Suggested correction: A one-time lapse in someone's usual behavior does not count as a "character mistake", even in the case of someone given to ritualistic behavior as Sheldon is.
Ah, but in an episode he explains he had developed this particular ritual at age 13 after walking into his parent's bedroom without knocking and seeing his father having sex with another woman. He says he started knocking 3 times since then and would never forget. So its not consistent and a mistake as this is not the only example one can name.

The Terminator Decoupling - S2-E17
Corrected entry: On the train, the guys reference an eleven-hour train ride from Pasadena to San Diego, but it's only a 4 hour ride, at most. (00:10:00)
Correction: The train was actually headed to San Francisco and made at least one stop when Summer Glau got off the train, since Pasadena is nearly 350 miles from San Francisco and it was not a nonstop route, the ride could take approximately eleven hours.
