As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: When Cory enters the noir world and uncovers Topanga's corpse, you can see her left hand is draped over her stomach. After the noir version of Cory confesses to the murder, the cloth covering her body is now suddenly covering more of her torso, including the left hand. (00:17:53 - 00:19:15)

As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: When the noir version of Shawn is asking Topanga what she's running from, the pot of coffee is next to his left arm near the edge of his side of the bar, and the coffee mug is slightly to the left of the crease in the bartop. When the shot changes after she asks him what he means, the mug is now directly over the crease, and the pot is in the center of the bar between the two of them. (00:06:53)

As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Revealing mistake: When the noir version of Eric is talking about the noir version of Jack as he is playing the piano, you can see Jack is just tapping his fingers against the piano keys and not actually striking them. (00:05:33)

As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: When Topanga gets sucked into the time continuum vortex, you can see a teddy bear between the skis and a pair of shoes. When the shot changes to Cory, you can see the skis and the pair of shoes, but the teddy bear is now missing. (00:04:03 - 00:04:33)

As Time Goes By - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: When Cory is telling Topanga that he wants to be sure Wile E. Coyote will be all right, you can see a single piece of popcorn on the right side of the microwave stand in the background. When the camera switches back to Cory after Topanga assures him he's always all right, the piece of popcorn is now gone. The amount of popcorn on Cory's shirt also decreases in both aforementioned shots. (00:02:15)

The Expendables 2 (2012)

Trivia: Despite being R-rated, the film is largely devoid of profanity. This is reportedly because Chuck Norris refused to appear in the film unless all the profanity was removed from the script.

I'm Gonna Be Like You, Dad - S7-E14

Continuity mistake: When Topanga, Shawn and Angela are hanging out in Cory and Topanga's dorm anticipating Cory's return from the doctor, the slice of pizza that Angela is eating goes from having a small bite taken out of it, to being halfway gone, and back to having one bite taken out of it. (00:12:07 - 00:14:02)

Family Trees - S7-E12

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Eric talks about how Alan's Navy background will cause him to use any means necessary including torture to find out about his birthday party. Cory chimes in and states that Alan was a cook in the Coast Guard. The plot of the Season 1 episode Kid Gloves concerned a necklace Alan gave Cory for his birthday, which Alan himself earned for placing second in his weight class for boxing in the entire Navy. So either Cory doesn't correctly remember his own father's military background, or the show needlessly retconned it. (00:00:43)

What A Drag! - S7-E11

Stupidity: When Eric, dressed in drag, tearfully sits down next to Topanga, she asks him if they know each other because she doesn't realise it is him. Topanga's known Eric practically her entire life, and she is one of the smarter characters on the show. Given that Mr. Feeny instantly recognized that Eric and Jack were dressed up as women, Topanga should have recognized it immediately as well. (00:10:40)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This is a comedy show and this scene is played for laughs. A character not recognizing another character in drag when it is obvious to the audience has been a joke for centuries. Also, on a realistic level, recognizing faces has nothing to do with intelligence.

There's a difference between not recognizing someone you might barely know and being fooled by an obvious disguise worn by someone you've known for 20 years. I fully acknowledge that this scene is played for laughs and that this is a common trope used in movies and television, but the fact that the show went out of its way to show that Mr. Feeny instantly saw through their disguises demonstrates that show itself acknowledged how ridiculous his disguise was, and it was foolish on Topanga's part for not seeing through it.

The Honeymoon is Over - S7-E9

Factual error: When Cory and Topanga first enter their new couples dorm, they discover it to be a dump. The entire dorm is filthy, cabinets are falling apart, there are large bugs crawling on the floor, and there is no clean running water. Student housing laws would require the university to restore the dorm to liveable conditions before any student could move in. If the health department saw the conditions of the room, the university would undoubtedly be fined for failing to take corrective action. (00:07:45 - 00:10:36)

The Honeymooners - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: When the voice on the intercom is saying "Paging Dr. Chocolate Pudding," Cory's right hand is on Topanga's right arm, and her hands are in her lap. When the shot changes, both of his hands are suddenly resting on his stomach, and her right hand is suddenly resting on his left leg. (00:07:23)
