Character mistake: After Cory and Topanga have their argument in front of everyone, Cory remarks to Shawn that it's their first fight ever. Cory and Topanga had several fights in the show prior to this. (00:12:50)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Shawn stands up on the chair to propose a toast, Eric is at his 9 o'clock. When shot changes, Shawn has instantly rotated his body so that Eric is now at his 6 o'clock. (00:16:47)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Revealing mistake: When Cory opens up the curtains of his bungalow to show Topanga the beach, you can tell the background is just a backdrop, as there are no waves approaching the shore. (00:10:36)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Revealing mistake: When Eric picks up Cory to show him the "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow" dance, Cory screams that Eric is going to knock over the candles, upon which one of the candles on the desk is knocked over and sets fire to the curtains. If you look closely, neither Eric or Cory bump any of the candles nor the desk they are on, the candle just tips over on its own, suggesting an off-screen crew member used wire or string to pull the candle down.

Boy Meets World (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Morgan is telling Topanga that she wouldn't use her bridesmaid's dress to wipe her ass, she gets cut off by Alan who covers her mouth with his left hand and then begins dragging her out of the reception hall. When the shot changes, he is covering her mouth with his right hand. (00:17:22)

No Such Thing as a Sure Thing - S7-E4
Revealing mistake: When the family is eating dinner, throughout the scene you can see Jack dabbing his fork into his mashed potatoes and raising the fork to his mouth with little to no potatoes on it in order to give the illusion that he is eating. (00:03:57 - 00:05:05)

Angela's Men - S7-E3
Question: In this episode, Shawn enlists in the Army and is even given a uniform complete with a name-tag bearing his last name. Later in the episode, Staff Sergeant Moore affirms that Shawn is not going to be in the Army because he likes him and doesn't want him anywhere near the Army. Can a recruit just be dismissed like that? Even if he was eventually rejected, wouldn't he have to at least be entered into basic training first? Would a Staff Sergeant even have the clout necessary to unilaterally dismiss someone from their enlistment?

For Love and Apartments - S7-E2
Other mistake: When Cory is trying to get Topanga's parents to reconcile, Topanga's mother mentions to her ex-husband about the "beautiful child they've made." Given that she says "child" in the singular, this can only refer to Topanga. However, the season 1 episode She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not established that Topanga had an older sister named Nebula. So the mistake is that either the show is acting like a character that was firmly established never existed, or Topanga's mother doesn't realise she has at least two children. (00:15:32)

For Love and Apartments - S7-E2
Character mistake: When Shawn is scolding Topanga for getting angry with Cory for travelling to Pittsburgh to try to get her parents back together, he mentions that he travelled a hundred miles to do so. Philadelphia is roughly 300 miles from Pittsburgh. Travelling only 100 miles westward from Philadelphia would barely get them past Hershey. (00:17:53)

Can I Help to Cheer You? - S6-E18
Continuity mistake: When Tommy is saying to Eric "We've been hanging out with each other for a long time now," Eric's coffee mug is mere inches from his face. When the shot changes, the mug is almost set down on the table. (00:00:58)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Other mistake: Early in the episode, Amy mentions that she is 7 1/2 months pregnant. This episode takes place around Valentine's Day, which means she would have become pregnant at either the end of June or the beginning of July. However, she revealed she was pregnant around the time Cory, Shawn and Topanga had their senior prom, which would have been around the end of May or beginning of June at the latest, prior to their high school Graduation. So she should be around 8 1/2 months pregnant at the least.

Continuity mistake: When Morgan emerges from the kitchen after Topanga picked her up from school, a wall is visible behind the door leading to the kitchen, even though the kitchen itself should be visible. (00:02:18)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Audio problem: When the waitresses are performing their song, you can tell they are lip syncing to a recording even though they are supposed to be giving a live performance. The vocals have a noticeable amount of reverb and are mixed evenly with the instrumental track despite the fact they aren't even using microphones. (00:06:49 - 00:09:00)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Character mistake: When Sarah the waitress is filling up Cory and Shawn's coffee cups, she puts hardly any coffee in them, with Cory's barely being a couple of drips. A waitress that works on tips wouldn't be so lackadaisical about filling a customer's coffee cup. Cory and Shawn just sat down as well, so it's not like she was just topping them off. (00:02:58)

Boy Meets World (1993)
Continuity mistake: After Eric smears his hands all over Topanga's face, the amount of skin cream on her right cheek drastically decreases when she is telling Cory she's going to go wash her face. (00:14:35 - 00:15:00)

We'll Have A Good Time Then - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: The picture Rachel takes of Shawn, Jack and Chet is not consistent with the framed picture Jack receives. When Rachel takes the picture, Shawn's necklace is sticking out of his shirt collar slightly and positioned to the right and he has a lock of hair draped over his forehead on the left side of his face. In the framed picture, his necklace is protruding from his collar more prominently and positioned to the left, he has no lock of hair over his forehead, and his left hand can suddenly be seen on Chet's left shoulder. Additionally, the framed picture shows Chet with his head slightly tilted back and showing his teeth as he smiles, but when the picture was taken, his head was level and he only had a slight grin with no teeth showing. (00:04:49 - 00:21:10)

Santa's Little Helpers - S6-E11
Continuity mistake: When Shawn and Angela are talking in the student union building, Shawn's scarf is draped around his neck in an asymmetrical fashion, with the left side shorter than the right. When they sit down on the couch, he pulls the two sides to a symmetrical length. Throughout the rest of the time Shawn remains seated on the couch, the two sides alternate between being symmetrical and asymmetrical. (00:15:20 - 00:16:47)

And in Case I Don't See Ya - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Feeny is looking over Cory and Shawn's papers, he rests Shawn's paper on the plate with his omelet. When the shot changes, he is holding the paper in his left hand and it is raised away from the plate. (00:18:35)

You're Married You're Dead - S6-E8
Continuity mistake: When Cory realises he left his engagement ring at the club, he raises his left hand to his shoulder level. When the shot changes to him saying "My ring," he is shown raising his left hand again. (00:11:56)

Answer: I'm a little fuzzy on the episode, but the uniform could be just part of the ROTC program they were in. They were the same uniforms with minor alterations.
