The Office (2005)

WUPHF.com - S7-E9

Other mistake: When Jim is editing the audiobook of Jo's autobiography, the waveform displayed on his computer program is inaccurate to the phonetics of the phrase being uttered. The crew of the show simply pasted in a random waveform of someone speaking a different sentence. There are a number of ways to tell it is inaccurate, but one is the periodicity of the waveform during the sibilant [s], which appear be noisy and not periodic. (00:15:20)

Seinfeld (1990)

The Old Man - S4-E18

Other mistake: After The Old Man's dentures are destroyed in the garbage disposal, he shouts that his dentist is "downtown." There is sibilance audible in his production of the T sound (after the stop release). Sibilance is high frequency noise cause by turbulent airflow directed at the front teeth vibrating randomly in a small space; if he had no front teeth, there should be no sibilance. (00:14:35)

Monk (2002)

Mr. Monk Stays in Bed - S4-E3

Other mistake: During the flashback of the perpetrator beating up the victim with a baseball bat, the shot is visibly spliced and there's a jump cut while he is between swings of the bat. (00:32:50)
