That '70s Show (1998)
Character mistake: As the little boys are trying to get a peek at Donna's breasts, you see more and more of them. The first two times, you can't see them. The final time, you can see a kid or two far left. They're having trouble standing still. When it cuts to a wider shot, the kids come from behind the wall to see Donna. Chances are, since the aspect ratio was intended for 4:3 TVs, they didn't intend for the kids to be visible.

Suggested correction: Per Wikipedia, this error was intentional. "there is a single moment at the end of "Shuffle Off to Buffalo", when one word of the scripted lyrics, "belly", was changed to "tummy" presumedly to comply with the then weakly enforced Motion Picture Production Code of 1930. But in making the change, the filmmakers purposely drew attention to the censored word. As Ginger sings it, Una gestures to her and she changes the last word: "He did right by little Nellie, with a shotgun in his bel - - tummy.
