A Person of Interest - S5-E3

Trivia: The boy who portrays the young version of Arlo Slocombe, Enzo Rossi, is actually Patricia Arquette's (Allison's) son in real life. Arquette directed this episode herself and struggled to find a young actor who looked similar to Kevin Corrigan, who portrays the same character as an adult. Finally she realized her son looked quite similar and asked him to play the part.

Big Love (2006)

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: In episode 1x7, Barb has a list of all the family members' names and birthdays. On the list, the oldest daughter is a listed as "Amanda Henrickson". Her name is Sarah Henrickson: it's the actress who portrays her who is called Amanda (Seyfried).

Will the Real Fred Rovick Please Stand Up? - S6-E14

Plot hole: Joe says that he and Allison told people they conceived Ariel on the weekend of their wedding, even though they knew that Allison was about five weeks pregnant at that time. In episode 6.15 the plot is all about how Allison is expecting Ariel and there is a lot of talk of how she is their first child and they can't tell anyone about it because they aren't married yet. But in the season two episode "Sweet Child O' Mine" it was revealed that they were going to have a baby once before Ariel, a boy they were going to name Brian, but that Allison miscarried.

Continuity mistake: Episode 6.4, Libra Slayer: In the opening scene, in the hospital, the man leans over the dying patient to hear what he has to say. His cheek is almost touching the patient's lips. Then the angle changes and their faces are suddenly quite far apart.

Frasier (1993)

Factual error: When they are watching the prince's wedding on TV, you can see the TV-channel's logo in the corner of the screen. The channel NRK didn't start using this logo until 1996, so the program is definitely a rerun, and not the original airing from 1968 which is when this film is set.

Continuity mistake: In the episode where Fester invents a fabric: When Fester lies down on the parking lot, his head is first pointing upwards, towards a car, then in the next shot he has turned 90 degrees and his head is pointing towards Norman's legs.

The First Temptation of Daphne - S9-E3

Continuity mistake: Martin says that Eddie will find the cricket, and puts him down on the floor so he can begin to search. He places him right in front of the green chair. In the next shot, we see Eddie spinning around on the floor, but the chair isn't visible in the frame like it should be. Instead there's something that looks like a gray stool there.

The Apparent Trap - S7-E9

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Frasier and Lilith meet in the living room, where Frederick has created a romantic atmosphere, Frasier has a long speech about how Lilith is not going to get him back, ending with "I need to be finessed!" and Bebe Neuwirth goes out of character and begins to giggle, before she quickly covers her mouth and pulls herself together. Though Lilith might have found Frasier's comment amusing, it would definitely not be in character for her to giggle like that.

Daphne Hates Sherry - S4-E21

Other mistake: When Frasier enters the apartment, Martin and Sherry are talking in the kitchen. If you listen carefully to what they're saying, their conversation makes no sense. Martin says something along the lines of "Daphne is really a very nice girl" before suddenly, in a very different tone of voice, he says "You're right, we're not getting enough privacy around here". Seems like a big chunk of conversation was edited out.

Continuity mistake: Daphne asks Frasier about his son's birth and he says that he held Frederick for the first time while Lilith was screaming at him that he would never be allowed to touch her again. But in Cheers, in the episode "The Stork Brings A Crane", we learn that A) Frasier was not present when Frederick was born and B) When he finally got to see his son for the first time, Lilith was not angry with him.

Frasier (1993)

Trivia: In ep. 1.20, "Fourtysomething", Frasier's admirer Carrie thinks that Bulldog is gay and overcompensating by acting as macho as he does. In ep. 1.24 "My Coffee with Niles", Niles asks Frasier if it means something that he just started using the word "Wow" and Frasier replies that "It means you're a gay man. Your life with Maris was a charade and you should have come out of the closet years ago. Are you going to tell dad or shall I?" In ep. 2.03 "The Matchmaker", Frasier's friend Tom thinks that Martin is gay. These are most likely references to the fact that these three straight characters are all portrayed by gay actors, namely Dan Butler, David Hyde Pierce and John Mahoney.

Trivia: In several scenes, for instance when Allison is talking to Teddy's ghost in the kitchen or when they're eating, you can see the names "Harlow" and "Enzo" spelled out in magnetic letters on the fridge. These are the names of Patricia Arquette's (Allison's) children. You can see the names separate and together in some other episodes too, but rarely as clearly as in this one.

When House calls them, Thirteen says, "His car was towed and the tow gate's locked." House tells them to break in to the car impound. Given the only way for them to identify the car was using the keys, if the car's been towed away then it wasn't there for them to try the key in the first place.

But in season 4 episode 6, "Deliverance", there was a flashback of Nick's birth and we learned that it was Ben who named the baby. He heard someone say the word "nickname" in the delivery room and named his son after that.

littlestar

Plot hole: In the series we learn that these creatures take a lot longer than us humans to grow up and that they live a lot longer. They mention that the children are about 900 years old, so a grown-up would be more than 1000 (probably 2000). The series is set around our time (1990s/2000s) and Fjellrose and Erke are very old. Yet the film is set about 100 or 200 years ago, you can tell by the way the humans are dressed and the way their houses are built etc. So Fjellrose and Erke should still be grown up, but they are young children. If they are only 100 to 200 years younger, then they should be much older in the film or much younger in the series.

In the Public Interest - S14-E3

Audio problem: There's a scene where Frost and George are in the car. Frost's phone rings and you can hear both the ring tone and sounds of the phone vibrating against a surface. The problem is that when George is holding the phone in his hand it is still making very loud vibrating sounds, like it would if it was still lying on a surface. When you hold a vibrating phone in your hand it doesn't make noises like that.
