Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Sami revealed that Roman is really Cassie and Rex's father, both at the end of the 11/25/03 episode and again when the scene was replayed at the beginning of the 11/26/03 episode. But the dialogue was distinctly different. The first time Sami referred to the twins' "Brady DNA," but not the second time. There were other minor differences in the speech, and in character placement around the room.

Timeline (2003)

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the film, Kate finds a bas relief that has been partially destroyed and replaced with unadorned stone. As it turns out, she destroyed it herself in the past. However, when she does so, she eradicates almost the entire framed portion. In the present day, only the lower part had been dismantled. (00:14:05 - 01:16:35)

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 11/26/03, there was dialogue from several characters indicating that the Thanksgiving celebration would take place later that day, i.e., that it was already Thanksgiving. However, when Thanksgiving actually started on 11/28/03, it was the morning of the following day.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 11/25/03, Ethan says that Gwen confronted Theresa the day after she saw her and Ethan kissing on television. But Gwen actually confronted Theresa later the same night. In fact, it is still impossibly late that same night when Ethan makes this statement.

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: At the very end of the 11/24/03 episode, Marlena remembered that she ate the vegetable dip right before she collapsed; it is poisoned. At that moment, Hope takes some dip on a carrot and walks past Bo as he confronts Rex. She moves the snack to her mouth and the shot freezes. At the beginning of the 11/25/03 episode, the scene is replayed. Marlena again remembers the dip connection and Hope again takes some dip on a carrot. But before she moves anywhere near Bo, Celeste takes her aside to warn her of impending danger.

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Caroline Brady's first name had always been pronounced with a long "i" in the last syllable. This is confirmed by the flashback with Victor that was shown on 11/17/03. However, for the last few weeks, since the character returned to the forefront of the story, everybody has inexplicably pronounced the name with a short "i." This includes Victor in the 11/17/03 episode, immediately after the flashback.

Tru Calling (2003)

Brother's Keeper - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The second time the day happens, the man stands up in the restaurant to profess his love to his girlfriend almost immediately after the waiter drops his tray. There is only about ten seconds between the two events, but the first time it all happened, there was a gap of nearly thirty seconds.

Tru Calling (2003)

Putting Out Fires - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The first time Tru lives the day, she has breakfast with her brother first thing in the morning. Harrison goes to put sugar in his coffee and the lid falls off. The second time, they go out together much later (after Tru goes shopping with Lindsay), and Tru manages to grab the sugar lid just before it falls off. But people have been eating at the restaurant all day, so it's not at all likely that the lid would still have been loose. Plus, the same patrons are seen in the diner even though it should be a completely different crowd.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 11/7/03, Antonio finally realizes that Luis and Sheridan are in love and he has a series of rapid flashbacks of compromising situations in which he has caught them. One of those scenes is when Antonio almost saw Luis and Sheridan cuddling post-coitally in Sheridan's bedroom, but "luckily" went temporarily blind an instant before he looked in the window. So why could he see them together in his flashback?

Denial (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Sammie wakes up alone in bed, she can see a rapidly moving shadow inside the bathroom. After she sneaks outside the house around to the window, she looks in and we see Sam in the bathtub, masturbating to magazine centerfolds. The problem is that in this second shot, Sam is very far from the door and there is no shadow visible inside the bathroom. In fact, there is not even a light source on the other side of the door from him. Sammie therefore should not have seen a shadow from inside the bedroom.

Days of Our Lives (1965)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: At the end of the 10/16/03 episode, Brady and Philip began to fight in Salem Place. At the same time, Will left the apartment after hearing Sami and Lucas saying they wished he'd never been born, and Victor told Nicole they were going to leave the mansion and go for a walk at Salem Place. The scenes were replayed at the beginning of the 10/17/03 episode, as they usually are, but there was a big discrepancy in the timeframe. While Brady and Philip went through the exact same scene as they began their fight, Sami and Lucas had already spent some time looking for Will around town, and Nicole and Victor had made it down to Salem Place for their walk.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In every single scene that Theresa appeared in for an entire week in October, 2003, some member of the hospital staff was telling her to leave the premises immediately. She was told "for the last time" at least six times, and Dr. Taylor said twice that he was going to call security. Yet Theresa stayed at the hospital without anybody actually doing anything about it, and she managed to exacerbate Gwen's condition three separate times.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 10/13/03, Gwen's memories come rushing back, of how Theresa contributed to her losing her baby. One of the memories is of seeing Ethan and Theresa making out on televesion. But she remembers it completely differently from how it really happened. When she was upset at what she saw on television while the doctors were there, what she was seeing was Julian and Rebecca denouncing Theresa's charitable contributions. When she saw the kiss, she was alone in her hospital room. In the flashback, the two scenes are merged.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 10/9/03, Marlena sees the blood-red moon and says that she does not believe in signs or omens because she is a psychiatrist. Marlena was possessed by the Devil in 1995, so it doesn't make sense for her not to believe in mystical things, woman of science or not.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 10/6/03, Theresa called home to talk to her mother Pilar and her son Ethan. Ethan, born in the summer of 2002, had not been seen on the show for a little while, and was now much older than previously. He was about two or three years old.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The show is woefully inconsistent in regards to when conversations can and cannot be overheard. Tabitha, Ivy, Kay, and Liz all routinely eavesdrop through closed plate-glass windows. On the other hand, Whitney could not hear Chad and LaToya speaking through an open doorway. Also, years ago, Ethan somehow couldn't hear Theresa talking to Pilar about her love for him even though he was standing on the landing directly above them. To contrast, Days Of Our Lives has managed to avoid such egregious discrepancies.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 9/22/03, when Nicole first appeared, there was a close-up of her while she was talking to Fox, and she stepped down into the swimming pool (We heard the splashes and she moved downwards.). In the wide shot that immediately followed, Nicole was back on the concrete at the edge of the pool, and she again stepped down onto the first step in the water.

Rhoda (1974)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In an episode of Mary Tyler Moore (from which Rhoda spun off) entitled "Rhoda's Sister Gets Married," Rhoda's sister Debbie, predictably, got married. In the show Rhoda, Rhoda had only one sister, Brenda, who was not married, nor had she ever been.

Mary Tyler Moore (1970)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In an episode fairly late in the life of the show, Lou Grant says that when Mary came to interview for a job at the station, she bumped into the desk in his office and said, "Excuse me" to the inanimate object. However, we saw that interview in the very first episode, and no such thing happened.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When Sheridan faked her own death in 2001 to escape from the drug cartel, she was buried alive. Timmy and Tabitha dug up the grave, and it was deep enough for Tabitha to stand in, upright, without her head reaching above the surface; it appeared to be the standard six feet deep. Then Julian had the grave filled in with cement after a token amount of dirt was shoveled in. But when the men broke apart the cement with their shovels, it was only about six inches thick. And when they finally dug through the cement and dirt, the coffin was also much closer to the surface than it had been before.
