The Fugitive (1963)

Death Is the Door Prize - S4-E2

Revealing mistake: Marcia demonstrates an early home video recorder at the trade show. Her camera set-up should record her test subjects from a lefthand angle. But her tapes show them all from a righthand angle - the position of the actual studio camera. (00:15:00)

Star Trek (1966)

The Trouble With Tribbles - S2-E15

Revealing mistake: When Kirk and Spock answer the intercom in the ship's corridor, Spock's uniform has a large brown coffee stain on the front. (This was digitally removed in the DVD release, but is still visible in the newly-syndicated "computer enhanced" version.). (00:17:00)

The Chinese Sunset - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: Kimble and Eddie take an elevator down to the parking garage. When the doors open, you can see that there's no break in the floor between the garage and the elevator car. It's solid concrete. (00:28:50)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: "The Greatest Enemy": Nasir stabs a soldier in the back through the wall of a thatched cottage. When he reaches through the wall and retrieves his dagger from the corpse, there's not a trace of blood on the blade. (00:44:50)

Robin of Sherwood (1984)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: "Lord of the Trees": Gisburne and his soldiers gallop into Sherwood, chasing Robin and Little John. In the background, to the right of the path, there's a large and very un-medieval concrete structure visible, jutting up over a grassy mound. (00:26:05)

Revealing mistake: "Night of the Bubbling Death": Artemus takes off his coat and is wearing smoke canisters strapped to his back underneath. But the close fit of his jacket in previous shots reveals that the device wasn't there until just before he began removing the coat. (00:43:15)

A.P.B. - S2-E28

Revealing mistake: Matt Mooney pulls open the freight car's door, and we can see the swiftly passing landscape outside, but not a hair on his head is disturbed by the wind. Rear screen projections don't generate much of a breeze. (00:10:05)

The Fugitive (1963)

A.P.B. - S2-E28

Revealing mistake: At the beginning, the stunt man seen running toward the train in profile (when Kimble jumps aboard the freight car) is very easy to spot. (00:01:50)

Robin of Sherwood (1984)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: "Alan a Dale": Lady Mildred rides side-saddle. But when Gisburne gallops away with her, some shots reveal that the stunt woman riding the fast-moving horse is astride it full straddle. Her skirt is blown back just enough to see a brief glimpse of the stunt rider's real leg on the horse's right, and the fake pair of legs in side-saddle position on its left. For just a moment, the lady appears to have three legs. (00:20:00)

Robin of Sherwood (1984)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: "Robin & the Sorcerer, Part 2": To rescue Marion, Robin kills the bad guy by stabbing him with the silver arrow. A few moments later, after much writhing and screaming, Robin pulls the arrow from the corpse. But its tip and shaft are perfectly clean. Not a drop of blood in sight. (00:40:00)

The Night of the Brain - S2-E21

Revealing mistake: Mr. Braine fires a mini-rocket at Brendage, killing him. But a poor camera angle reveals the explosive charge going off in the wall more than two feet to Brendage's left. From the angle at which it was fired, the rocket couldn't possibly have hit him. (00:21:45)

The Night of the Brain - S2-E21

Revealing mistake: Mr. Braine screams as his steam-powered chair crashes into the bandstand. If you look closely at the next shot, just before the explosion, you can see that the dummy now in the chair has its head bowed forward. It also has light brown hair, rather than Mr. Braine's silver hair. (00:47:10)
