War Stories - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the episode, Cliff Huxtable is sitting in the living room with his father Russell, Sgt. Stokes, and Homer. He is telling them of an incident that happened while he was in Bermuda. He is using dominoes to explain his story. At first there are about six or seven dominoes standing up on their sides. The camera angle switches, and all the dominoes are flat on the table. It goes on for a minute or so with the dominoes lying flat on the table. Then when Russell, Sgt. Stokes, and Homer get up to go for a walk, the dominoes are standing up again.

The Locker Room - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: There are two jackets hanging (one pink on top of one blue). When we see Vanessa and her friend, Janet, fighting Theo to get through the door, the pink jacket obviously falls down. When Dr. Huxtable comes in, the jacket is seen hung up again, but when he leaves, it is on the floor again.

Theo and the Kids (2) - S7-E26

Other mistake: After the commercial, when Olivia and her friend are watching TV, they look at each other and laugh, obviously on cue. They weren't even looking at the TV and started laughing at exactly the same time.

Some Gifts Aren't Deductible - S8-E23

Revealing mistake: When Stanley comes into the kitchen he has three demands, on paper from Deirdre, to which Kenny must agree. After Stanley reads the demands, Kenny signs it. You can plainly see that the paper is blank the moment after he signs it and gives it back to Stanley.

Pam Applies to College - S8-E4

Visible crew/equipment: If you look carefully, at the very top of the screen, during the scene where Olivia is telling the Huxtables that she didn't get to do her show-and-tell at school, you can see the microphone appear very briefly.

Pilot - S1-E1

Slumber Party - S1-E22

Other mistake: During the scene where the twin sisters were singing their song, Theo was asked by Cliff to go to Peter's house and ask his mother if he could stay. Theo left immediately after this. But if you look closely while the twins are singing, you'll see Theo's arm in the scene. When the twins finish performing, they sit down. After this, you see Theo coming through the door after having just gone to Peter's house.

Trust Me - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: Cliff and Clair are talking in the living room while Cliff is making a sandwich. As Clair asks Cliff if he would trust her with a sexy man, Cliff starts putting potato chips on his sandwich from a bowl. As he takes the chips out of the bowl, the level of chips goes down. When Cliff asks Clair if she would trust him with a nineteen year old woman, the bowl is miraculously at the level it was at the beginning of the scene. But as Cliff finishes talking, the bowl is back to it previous level.
