Magnum, P.I. (1980)

This Case Is Closed - S1-E7

Audio problem: Warner Jameson is making perfectly clear to Jim how much in control he is. When he says that he plays a mean game, part of the audio is dubbed in and does not mix with the rest. (00:21:40)

Tall Woman in Red Wagon - S1-E6

Audio problem: When Rockford is having his no dill lunch with Sandra Turkel, the audio, in particular at the beginning of the scene, changes ambience noticeably when the camera angle changes - not quite justified, they are sitting at the same cafe table. (00:05:20)

Exit Prentiss Carr - S1-E5

Audio problem: Driving his dad's pickup, Rockford gets flanked by one of the worst dressed killers in history. The guy shoots him about 3 times, but the audio is at really low level for a revolver shot from a couple of meters of distance and there's no flash or smoke indicating that any shot in fact is fired. Combined with the fact that it's preposterous that the guy could miss from such a short range and no arm/body movement is present, it's an adequate guess to imagine that the sounds have been added in post to add some sense of danger and were not planned when shooting the actual scene. (00:41:20)

The Kirkoff Case - S1-E2

Audio problem: Jim has been beaten up in front of the Sierra and dragged back into his own car. When they drag him out inside of some warehouse, he says "Take it easy! I'm not struggling, am I?", but James Garner's lips are not moving and the line is obviously dubbed in. (00:24:30)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Erupting in Murder - S6-E1

Audio problem: Catherine has been a character on the show from season 1, almost the first episode. Never has she pronounced the name of the island, Saint Marie, like she does in this episode: "Welcome to St. Mary." (00:20:20)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Audio problem: The lengthy tutorial for the game is carried through by the character Kiki, Mr. Mu's aide. The text balloons are mostly fine, but each line is also dubbed, in a language that tries really hard to be English, but is obviously read by a non-native speaker and butchered to the point of being barely if at all intelligible.

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #4.2 - S4-E2

Audio problem: Florence talks about the financial problems of the surfing school. Doing so, she says that they have two mortgages and they "are behind in both." This last part is pronounced with the camera behind Joséphine Jobert, but the timing between audio and jaw movement is off. There's also a little jump in continuity with her left hand away from the sheet/on it. (00:35:10)

Sammo

Audio problem: During the first meeting with the elf prospector, in the dub the line "It's the one my dad gave me. And sure, we can go by Vriska the Cold-Footed" the voice actress calls her own character "Viskra" instead.

Episode #3.1 - S3-E1

Audio problem: Camille invites Humphrey to have a drink with the crew. When he begins to say that "It'd be a bit awkward", Kris Marshall's lips don't match the audio in the brief cut when the camera is slightly behind him. (00:50:25)

Sammo

Episode #2.8 - S2-E8

Audio problem: Vicky had just introduced herself to Camille when a gunshot is heard. Everyone reacts as you'd expect with such a loud and sudden noise exploded in the middle of a party, everyone except in a brief cut to Duncan Wood. Nobody in that shot is perturbed by the bang in the slightest. (00:02:50)

Sammo

Episode #1.7 - S1-E7

Audio problem: In a typical movie clichè, the snake at the neck of the ophiophilist member of the band produces the characteristic insidious sound of a rattlesnake despite being a python.

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Audio problem: The lawyer and Magnum join the others in the room for the reading (rather, play) of the will. One of the prospect heirs says "It's about time then", but their lips are not moving and the muffled and unnatural ambience makes it even further clear that it is dubbed in. (00:08:55)

Heal Thyself - S3-E11

Audio problem: Not getting much sympathy from his buddies, Magnum just hands his coffee mug to Higgins and bolts off to go meet Karen. If you look at Roger E. Mosley face when he says "Hey Thomas, Higgins said we don't have t...", the audio is dubbed and does not match his lips' movements. (00:07:00)

Flashback - S3-E6

Audio problem: Magnum slips into the car in 1936 with his client out of the club. If you pay attention to the audio, there is sometimes a droning noise as if someone were using a leaf blower nearby (it's actually because in editing they cut out all sounds below a certain level - but some of it spiked enough to stay into the audible range). (00:11:20)
