Continuity mistake: When Will and Grace are sitting at the dining table discussing how much like Sharon and Joseph they are, the napkins on the table change shape and move around a bit, and one ends up with a plate underneath it just before Will picks it up.
Continuity mistake: When Susan falls over the railing the way she falls from the front is different than how it looks from the shot behind her. Look at her legs and where they are in relation to the railing depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: When Kocoum is shot and falls back into the water, only he and Pocahontas are shown on the riverbank, even though he was just fighting with John in the same location.
Continuity mistake: Bernard's accordion in certain shots is already damaged from when he kicked it in earlier takes, and other times undamaged until he kicks it.
Continuity mistake: When Fran is discussing why she never studied tennis she is eating a celery stick and using her right hand but when we see her in the next shot she is eating a carrot stick and using her left hand.
Continuity mistake: The art show is supposed to take place at the Zelman gallery and inside there is a sign that says that, but the establishing shot shows that the name is the Phyllis Kind gallery.
Continuity mistake: When Kyra brings in the cat and sets it down on the counter, she and BJ are discussing where to hide it. The carrier moves back on the counter, in one shot the front is level with BJ's elbow, but in the next shot it's further back, behind her arm.
Continuity mistake: In the post office when Chief Wiggum is using the megaphone, Otto is seen in the right line as seen from the door but when Kent Brockman attempts to interview him he is magically in the other line, in front of Krusty.
Continuity mistake: When Ellen is in the line to get the descrambler, she passes by a poster that says "the atmosphere". Shortly after we see her again she passes by it a second time.
Revealing mistake: When the characters are in Mr Lehman's room discussing his death, the backdrop outside the window has clear wrinkles and fold marks in it even though it's supposed to look like the outside.
Other mistake: If the camera in the Penguin's cell is hidden and stationary, then the video taken from the cell should all be from the same angle, but not only does much of it move along with the Penguin as he paces, it also is much closer and at a lower angle. It only reverts back to being hidden when he notices it.
Continuity mistake: Often the show reuses footage of Clark Kent changing into Superman, but the footage has him removing his hat, even though before he rushes off to change he is usually not wearing a hat.
Continuity mistake: When Tim and Al are small and ejected from the vehicle, their coveralls are red, but when Tim is made human sized again his turns into a very dirty grey.

Other mistake: When Dick is up in the tree fort, the aliens are looking at him through their hand binoculars, but the image is taken from the same height as Dick. However, since he is higher than they are, they would be seeing him at an angle. The view as seen would be impossible unless they were at the same height as he was.
Revealing mistake: The actors are supposed to be in a play set for the huge child, but when she reaches down and picks them up it is obvious that it was filmed in an outdoor setting in a town much bigger than what is supposed to be the play set.
Continuity mistake: Grace stumbles right after Karen says "Do you know how humiliating it was for me to have to finish myself off in front of your father?" but immediately in the next shot she does it again.
Continuity mistake: When the painting of Jack is hanging in the Regal Beagle, the painting is just legs, and not Jack's whole body. In some shots the top of the painting can be seen.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning when the lady at check in is passed out on the floor, she is right up against the desk, but when Lois goes behind to tend to her, she is further away from the desk, and closer to the wall.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the film the plane they are initially flying on is a typical passenger plane, but when the Muppets are thrown out, the plane is one used for skydiving.
Continuity mistake: When Monica gets stung by the jellyfish they are standing on a part of the beach that is wet and close to the surf but when she is saying "damn the jellyfish" the part they are standing on is dry and further from the water.
Continuity mistake: When Rachel and Chandler are out in the hall eating cheesecake off the floor, Chandler's piece is much closer to Rachel's piece than in the previous scene when Rachel slapped it out of Chandler's hand closer to the apartment doorway.
Continuity mistake: Sometimes Mrs. Slocombe has discretion over both inventory and displays and what they will and will not sell in the ladies department, other times its Captain Peacock, Mr. Rumboldt or others that have the final say.
Character mistake: At the auction Charlene regales about an I Love Lucy episode where Lucy and Ethel go to an auction and mistakenly buy something. I Love Lucy never did an episode where they go to an auction.

Visible crew/equipment: Right after Mary Jo tells Anthony to eat her shorts, when the camera points at him, you can see the edge of the set and several people behind it.(00:08:15)
Character mistake: The Sheffields are going to Miami but when they are there, Maxwell mentions having gone to Disney World on the same trip. Disney World is not in Miami, it's in Orlando.
Plot hole: Thelma never mentions the song name she will sing at the pageant, as she had no idea she needed a talent, thus she couldn't tell them ahead of time, but they still start to play the right one for her.
Visible crew/equipment: When Iola is walking across the stage to her podium for the debate, from her perspective you can see the edge of the set and some lights.
Revealing mistake: Near the end when the repossession men are taking away the costumes and scenery, as they are removing Ricky's pants one of the chorus members can be seen waiting backstage for her cue to enter screaming.
Revealing mistake: During the rehearsal for the Jezebel number, the dancer's skirt trim is already partially torn or unattached to make it easier to tear, and it is clear that Ricky purposely steps on the trim to rip it off the skirt.
Revealing mistake: When Matthew is sliding backwards because his shoes are icy, just before he falls you can see the board he was on to allow him to move backwards.(00:02:00)
Revealing mistake: The boat is quite rocky, causing their food to move around the table. However, the plate obviously has wheels on it to make it move easier.(00:18:00)
Plot hole: Both couples have the same group of friends and they were all invited to both going away parties planned on the same night at the same location. Isn't it likely that at least one of the main characters would have found out about the other party? But at the end, all seem surprised about the other party that was planned for them.
Continuity mistake: When Eugene is playing with the ball on a stick it changes from being predominately purple to blue and red just before he pulls the string off. The cup size changes too.(00:11:05)
Continuity mistake: During the scene set in the boat there is no land seen, but in the shots outside the boat, the land is present. In the same scene Ricky is wearing a wide-collared shirt but in the location part, he is shown wearing a white T-shirt.
Other mistake: When Randy and Brad complete the magic trick and open up the trunk they are pointing it towards the audience for us to see. But Jill reacts as if she is seeing it too, which, based on where she is sitting and where the trunk is open would be impossible. She would have had to get up and go look or have the trunk turned 90° to make it work. Neither happens.
Revealing mistake: At the end when Tim and Marty are outside Marty drops the ladder supposedly on Tim's foot, but it never lands close enough to his foot for Tim to get hurt.
Continuity mistake: Sue's hands move around during the scene she is telling the family she got engaged. They go from by her face to The Table top etc even though there is not time for her to move them.
Revealing mistake: At the end during the credits, Mr. Humphries and the Lady he played are onscreen at the same time and you can see the splice made to allow that to happen.
Continuity mistake: Normally the windows in Mr Rumbold's office are latch swing open style, but when the staff are viewing the parade they are plainer push up windows.
Factual error: Mrs Slocombe's cat gives birth, but the kittens shown at the end are way older than ones who are supposed to have been born just moments before.
Revealing mistake: The cake the groom's father has is treated as if its real, but when smashed over Mr. Grainger's head it's obviously Styrofoam and hollow.
Revealing mistake: When Mrs. Slocombe's cat is supposed to be under the hat and "eats" the clockwork mouse, it is clear that it's a machine. This is most obvious when the hat spits out the mouse and slightly rises up in the front, which shows the wheels.
Revealing mistake: When Captain Peacock goes behind the curtain to the hall way to Mr Rumbold's office, you can see that the sets are right next to each other and the other actors are waiting in there for the next scene.
Continuity mistake: Mrs Slocombe arrives with her hair in disarray, but once she walks away she only has time to put her coat away before she returns, by that time her hair is neat with no evidence of it being messy. She had to have returned quickly to hear Mr Humphries' story as she comments on it shortly after.
Continuity mistake: Mrs Slocombe is showing a bride a veil and puts it on the counter, but in the next shot she is still holding it and puts it down again.
Other mistake: When Mrs Slocombe is having her passport picture taken the images taken are not directly in front of them where the actual photo camera is, rather they are taken from the camera filming off to the side.
Continuity mistake: Mary's glass of wine goes from being almost empty to about half full during her conversation with Charlotte. In the same scene Charlotte goes to put the bottle down but in the next shot she is still holding it.
Revealing mistake: When C.C tells Niles "Stay on your toes" he supposedly steps on her toes but it is clear that he does not get anywhere near her toes before she cries out in pain.
Continuity mistake: The comb being used as a ladder to get to the top of the bottle at the beginning changes from shot to shot, the number of prongs changes dramatically.
Other mistake: During the court hearing the cop Vince mentions looking in the trunk of Karen's car. Nowhere in the scene prior when he stopped them did he look in the trunk.
Plot hole: At the end of the episode Karen says she was never shown how to brake, but earlier she brakes quite nicely when being pulled over by the cop.
Continuity mistake: When Lucy and Ricky are discussing the dance at the beginning of the episode and she turns away from him after she tells him "that's all there is to it," however in the next shot she is still facing towards him.
Plot hole: Tim has the mike in his hand and steps repeatedly forwards to talk to Jill, the cord being long enough to allow him to do so. However once Jill leaves and he wants to go after her the mike knocks over the jar of mosquitoes. Up until then, there was no indication that the mike had been changed or moved but he never at the risk of knocking over the jar until then.
Other mistake: Al's tricycle catches on fire but when the fire is put out the tricycle is much more scorched and mangled in a way that would have been impossible with the short time the fire was lit and the area it actually burned.
Continuity mistake: In this episode Ilene says she is 36, but in season 5's episode games flames and automobiles, she says she is about to turn the big 34.
Continuity mistake: When the inside of Onslows and Daisy's house is shown there is no second door in the hallway right inside the front door. When the angry woman storms in to the house from the outside, there is a second door that she goes through after the front door. You can it because the light changes as if a door is being opened and then closed, much like a swinging door.
Other mistake: After Salem and Sabrina are shrunk down into the toy plane you see the kitchen from inside the cockpit, but when they are shrunk down to be tiny enough to go into Libby's nose, the view from inside the cockpit is the same as it was before they were shrunk down even further. Since they are that much smaller everything should be seen as much bigger.
Revealing mistake: After they break out of the basement, Iola remains down there, with no indication that she is coming up. However right after we can see her skirt on the staircase, waiting to make her entrance later in the scene.
Revealing mistake: The extras and actors are made to appear to be naked as they live in a nudist colony, but many of them are wearing some kind of undergarment.
Continuity mistake: Sue says that she "matured" aka got her period, on Sept 21, but in the episode "Forced Family Fun", when they go camping and she gets it, they go before school starts, which is well before the end of September.
Continuity mistake: When Axl is tying his dress shoes with white socks, in one shot his pants are fine, but in the very next shot they are tucked into his socks.
Continuity mistake: When Mammy Watkins first hands the letters over to Blanche, the ribbons holding them together are knotted but the knot is on the bottom of the pile, and the strands are quite long. When Blanche reaches for them, the knot is on the top, it is now tied in a bow, and the strands are much shorter and neater.
Continuity mistake: When Brick is first shown in the garbage can, there is garbage up to the top of it, but when Brick manages to knock it over while still inside, there is much less garbage in the can.
Factual error: Even if the cable was out at the grandparents' house due to them getting rid of it, the TV itself should still turn on. Access or no access to cable does not dictate whether a TV can be turned on or not.
Other mistake: There is no need for there to be two lists of those who should and shouldn't drive the bus, only a list of those qualified to drive the bus.
Continuity mistake: The establishing shots of the houses in the series show houses that nowhere match with the interiors and how they are set up. In addition the exterior sets are nowhere the same as how the establishing shots show what the outsides look like.
Revealing mistake: When Lucy is cutting up the fake fur coat to scare Ricky, it is clear that the parts that she has to remove are already cut and just loosely sewn in place.
Deliberate mistake: Lucy and Ethel try and hide the new furniture in the kitchen so Ricky won't find out about it. This in turn forces Lucy to run through the Mertz's apartment to retrieve items from her own kitchen when Ricky wants them. This is supposedly done because the furniture blocks the doorway and is wedged in place thus preventing them from using the door. However it is quite clear that there is a lot of room for the furniture to be pushed into the kitchen and not block the door. They say it is wedged on the sink but there is a lot of room on the other side by the cupboards, along the back wall.
Other mistake: A major plot point is Blanche having hurt her back in her gym class, and it is established that she is having a hard time moving. Indeed when Dorothy rushes to find Rose after hearing her scream, Blanche gets up to follow her but due to her injury she moves quite slowly. However, when Dorothy reaches the door, Blanche is right behind her, even though Dorothy did not help her and Blanche cannot move as fast as Dorothy.
Continuity mistake: When Ellen is making calls to solicit donations, one shot has her cradling the phone between her head and shoulder, but in the very next shot she is holding it with her hand.
Continuity mistake: The office in the book store changes from being quite large in the first season to very cramped and small from the second season onward.
Other mistake: The establishing shots of Buy The Book make it clear that there is an optometrist next to Buy The Book, but in the season three episode premiere Shake Rattle and Rubble, a major plot point is that there is a dry cleaners next to the store, which is not only wrong but impossible.
Audio problem: Right at the end after Heather reveals that Ellen taped over the birthing tape with an episode of thirtysomething, someone says "which one" but no one in the crowd moves their lips.
Chosen answer:Sheldon believes himself to be superior to all other humans and therefore his lack of desire for sex is only superseded by his desire to create a superior sub-species of human. This concept is also seen later in the series when he and Amy consider having a baby together to make a super smart child (by invitro of course).
Visible crew/equipment: Right after Ellen answers the door there is a shot of Paige, Spence and Joe. You can see the edge of the set, the lighting and some of the props behind and off to the side of Paige. This occurs again during the party in the same location. A stagehand can be seen in this instance.
Continuity mistake: The bathroom in Ellen's apartment, depending on where the shot is taken, is either seen as incredibly small, or when shot within the bathroom, quite large and spacious.
Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene in the bookstore Ellen is shown alternately holding her mug by the handle or the cup part, as well as alternating hands.
Revealing mistake: When Ellen and the rest are on the ski lift, it becomes apparent that they are being filmed in front of a green screen because as the lift chair in front of them sways back and forth it disappears into it on the left side.(00:02:05)
Continuity mistake: There is a large black cue ball on a wooden base beside the staircase at the bookstore When the crowd rushes past it it gets knocked to the floor and bounces away, but immediately after in the next shot it is back on the base, then it is gone again.
Character mistake: Before Ellen invites Perry to thanksgiving there was only going to be seven for thanksgiving and yet whenever someone is asked about how many there are going to be at thanksgiving they answer eight.
Continuity mistake: When Walt is sitting on the overpass it is clear that his car is parked on the part that straddles the median between the lanes, but when the shot is inside his car the view appears as if he is parked directly over the right lanes of traffic.(00:43:50)
Continuity mistake: When the milkman picks up the empty bottle, the note is flush with the top of the bottle, but when he stands up it it is sticking halfway out.
Continuity mistake: The kitchen changes from episode to episode, when viewed from the living room. If the set is going to be used the full kitchen is visible when viewed. But if it is not being used, often the set is pushed closer together. This is most evident when an actor is coming out of the kitchen the stove and the attached cupboards are practically at the door, providing just a bit of space for the actor to stand before making their entrance. Other times a wall is simply pushed up beside the door with the kitchen wall paper on it to appear to have continuity. This is only seen when the shot allows the kitchen set to be obscured.
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Dubcek says that she doesn't allow dogs because she is allergic to dogs, but in a later episode she claims that she doesn't allow dogs because she has 6 cats buried in the back yard.
