Continuity mistake: Part 2: When Beck is visiting, Aaron Jastrow's wine glass refills itself several times between takes, even though he hasn't poured any more wine. (00:42:00)

The Arrangement (2) - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: When the Apache war party starts its charge toward the High Chaparral, the dirt road beside them shows clear tire tread marks from the camera truck. (00:30:05)

Trivia: The Green Hornet series often paid tribute to another show on the air at the same time, its more popular rival in the TV superhero department. Whenever a Green Hornet character turned on a TV set, the show on the screen was invariably Batman..

Revealing mistake: 3-2 "Walk Slowly": When Vincent brings her body back to the apartment and places her on the bed, the "dead" Catherine is visibly breathing. (00:03:30)

Ace in the Hole - S1-E20

Visible crew/equipment: When Reid is showing the DA his closed-circuit video of Mike, several pieces of white tape stuck to the carpet are visible. These are blocking marks, put there to show the actors where to stand. (00:07:15)

Deliberate mistake: "Treasure of the Ages": Darien delivers Mary's child during the hurricane. There's no time lapse in the scene, but somehow the kid emerges perfectly clean: no blood, no placenta - and no umbilical cord. Darien also neglects to wash his hands before reaching in to turn the breeched baby around. (Ewwwwww!) (00:45:00)

Factual error: "Treasure of the Ages": Haskell finds a jeweled cross that's supposedly from a shipwreck hundreds of years old. Only the relic he pulls from the sand is spotless: not a barnacle, rust spot or touch of encrustation on it. After centuries at the bottom of the ocean? Wouldn't happen. (00:02:00)

Visible crew/equipment: "Night of the Savage": When David chases Claudine through the deserted newspaper office, several equipment shadows move across the ceiling above them. (00:37:00)

Plot hole: "Night of the Savage": Lambert tosses both Selma and his PPT weapon to the floor of the printing warehouse. After Leeds is killed, Lambert retrieves Selma, but leaves without recovering his PPT, a weapon of the future that he'd never leave behind. (00:43:00)

Plot hole: "Cool Hand Darien": In the swamp, Luther overpowers both guards and escapes. As they were both out cold and no one else was around, he could easily have taken the keys from them and unlocked his leg shackles. Instead, assumedly because it's more dramatic, he sneaks back into the prison compound to steal a sledgehammer and break the chain. (00:34:30)

Continuity mistake: "Treasure of the Ages": In the beginning, one diver stabs the other, releasing a cloud of blood into the water. In the very next shot, however, not a trace of the blood remains. It couldn't possibly dissipate in that short a time. (00:02:30)

Continuity mistake: "Cool Hand Darien": When Luther breaks the chain on his shackles, he is still wearing the leg cuffs and the trailing pieces of chain on either side. He doesn't stop anywhere to come across a key, but when he bursts into the mine to rescue Darien, the shackles have disappeared. (00:35:00)

Continuity mistake: "Out for Blood": Parker disintegrates a crystal decanter and wine glasses with his laser weapon, then fires at several more things in the house. During this sequence, he zaps the same decanter and glasses, which seem to have re-integrated, over again. (00:37:15)

Revealing mistake: 1967, episode 86: Roger is late for a meeting because actor Louis Edmonds, forgetting he had another scene, had gone to his dressing room and undressed. Because it was "live tape," the other actors had to awkwardly ad lib until Edmonds could throw on a shirt and be hustled onto the set, whereupon one camera zoomed in tight on him and stays there for his solo shot making a toast. You can hear the stress in the other actors' voices as they stifle laughter. They're trying to play an oh-so-serious scene with an actor wearing a shirt, a tie, and boxer shorts.

Audio problem: 1897: Quentin challenges Barnabas by pulling a decorative sword from a wall display and pointing it at his throat. Unfortunately, the display wasn't all that well attached to the set wall. Though the camera pans away, you can hear a loud clunk as the piece falls, followed by the loud crash of shattering glass as it strikes and breaks a table lamp. You can also see the actors struggling very hard to keep straight faces as they continue with their lines.

Near Death - S2-E23

Plot hole: Dr. Linsman puts a heart monitor on Nick for the experiment, but for some bizarre reason, never questions why her "patient" has a resting heart rate of only one beat every ten minutes.

For I Have Sinned - S1-E4

Visible crew/equipment: When the parish priest is preparing for the Easter Pageant and gathers up the bundle of sticks, the microphone dips into the shot at the top of the screen. (Aired version only. Mistake was digitally removed on the dvd.) (00:16:05)

Second City - S1-E12

Deliberate mistake: Kermani finds a nitroglycerin tablet in the suspect's apartment. Because we need to see it when he holds it for the close-up, the tablet he has is much too large to be nitro. That drug is dispensed as an extremely tiny pill designed to dissolve instantly under the tongue. (00:22:30)

Factual error: Part 6: It's 1941, and Pug and Stimson are in a small boat crossing between ships in the fleet. The USS Missouri, with its BB-63 hull number plainly visible, passes behind them. The Missouri wasn't commissioned until 1944. (01:58:15)

Mr. Monk and the Leper - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: While Dr. Polanski talks to Monk and Natalie in his waiting room, he's gesturing with both hands held out in front of him. When the shot changes angles, he's abruptly standing with his hands clasped behind his back. Next cut, he's gesturing again. (00:05:00)
