Come Wander with Me - S5-E34

Revealing mistake: The strings on the guitar are extremely loose. While they would make a sound, it wouldn't be anywhere near the proper sound. The guitar sound throughout the episode doesn't match up to the strokes of the guitar either.

Character mistake: During the opening scene of every episode, Klink comes out of his office and salutes. Then it cuts to Sgt. Shultz who then salutes. The superior officer never salutes first, it's a sign of respect of rank. There is one exception for this in the American military where if the soldier is a Medal Of Honor recipient, the superior officer will usually salute first but is not required to.

You Drive - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, The main character is driving a car and hits a bicyclist and kills him. The inside shots from the car show the driver's window closed. The outside shots show the driver's window open.

The Hide Cutters - S14-E2

Other mistake: Near the end of the episode, there's a gunfight, and they show Matt Dillon reloading his gun. Just after the gunfight, you can see the extra bullets on his gun belt. None of the bullets are missing.

The Bank Job - S3-E1

Visible crew/equipment: Halfway through the show and just before the robbers make themselves known, you can see the microphone above Arnold's head for 3-4 seconds.

The Short Day of Private Putnam - S2-E28

Revealing mistake: 2/3 through, Beau Bridges comes upon a dead German but you can see the German breathing. Oddly, it's a fairly far shot, so he must have been breathing pretty heavily.

Other mistake: The Kramdens' lock on the door is just a slide bolt that is only operable from inside the apartment. It's impossible for them to lock the apartment door from outside. The Norton's on the other hand have a regular dead bolt lock.

Klink for the Defense - S6-E19

Factual error: About 8 minutes into show, Major Hochstetter asks Schultz how long Colonel Hogan (an American) has been running the camp, and Schultz says 3 years last November. This is impossible. The US didn't get into the war until December, 1941, He would have to have been captured November '42 or earlier but the war was over by November 1945.

Sanctuary - S11-E23

Revealing mistake: At 40 minutes in Doc is treating a gunman. Look at Doc's eyebrow. His right eyebrow is sticking up on the right side and you can see his real eyebrow underneath it. His left eyebrow looks OK.

Request Permission to Escape - S1-E32

Other mistake: Carter is washing things in front of the barracks. There is snow on the ground and on the windowsills and they are wearing winter jackets but the cold weather doesn't bother him putting his hands in the water over and over. He even gets splashed in the face but it doesn't faze him.

A House Divided - S4-E18

Other mistake: Heidi turns off the gas, saying that the shutoff valve has to be moved perpendicular to the pipe to shut off the gas, which is correct. But Heidi actually moves it parallel to the pipe, which turns on the gas.

The Mole - S2-E22

Trivia: Ron Carey, who would later go on to play Officer Levitt in Barney Miller, appears in this episode as The Mole. A jewel thief that tries to escape from the 12th precinct detectives via a sewer.

The Wheaton Recurrence - S3-E19

Factual error: Sheldon and the team are league bowling and have a match with Will Wheaton's team. They are bowling on lanes 2 and 3. In league bowling, you have to bowl on lanes that start with an odd number because the ball return is shared between those lanes. In league bowling, you take turns with each lane so that any differences in the lanes evens out, and this lane layout wouldn't allow that.

Ramon - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: A criminal steals Fish's gun and holds the squad hostage. He has a handcuff on one wrist with the other one hanging. The hanging cuff goes back and forth between being open and being closed throughout the scene.

terry s

Cousin Virgil - S2-E30

Other mistake: Barney's cousin is coming to Mayberry but gets off the bus in a previous town and misses it. Barney and Andy go out to find him, leaving from Mayberry. They are driving down the road when they come upon his cousin. The cousin is walking in the same direction as Andy and Barney are going, which would have meant he was walking away from Mayberry when he should have been walking towards it.

terry s

Hogan's Double Life - S6-E22

Plot hole: Five minutes into the show, Klink and Hogan are in Klink's office when a gestapo major comes in. When Hogan leaves, Klink mentions Hogan's name and the major realises with surprise that that is Hogan and then says he knows all about Hogan and his description. That alone should have led the major to know that this was Hogan. Hogan also has his name on a tag on his jacket.

The Raincoats (1) - S5-E18

Factual error: Near the end of the show, George is getting in a taxi in Central Park. The taxi medallion is on the side rear roof support. Taxi medallions in NYC are required to be on the front hood.

D-Day at Stalag 13 - S3-E3

Factual error: While the show always made it winter time by having snow on everything (salt piles strewn about) and icicles on all the windows, this episode has an actual date of occurrence, June 6, 1944. They help to solve the snow on the set by taping the whole episode inside. However, the windows still all have the ice formations on them. It's late spring.

terry s

Anyone for Suicide? - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, the squadron has to land on a carrier deck. The shots from the sky go back and forth between a straight deck carrier and an angled carrier deck. Also, an angled carrier wasn't put into use until the early 50's by the British, Black Sheep takes place in WWII.

Show generally

Other mistake: Throughout the show, they always show snow on the ground and ice on the windows. It is almost always freezing weather. They regularly use a periscope viewer that is placed it a 55 gallon drum containing water, yet the water never freezes or shows any kind of icing up.
