Opie's Job - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: When Aunt Bee walks by Floyd's shop the barber's pole is missing, but when Opie and Billy run across the street there's a red/white striped barber's pole, then when Andy walks by Floyd's shop the barber's pole has red/white/blue stripes.

Wyatt Earp Rides Again - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: After Opie tells Andy that he knows he'll win at high noon, it cuts to Warren in front of Floyd's shop (with its furniture conspicuously missing), but later when Andy walks over to Floyd's shop its facade has changed. Note differences such as window structure, and the name "Floyd's Barber Shop" painted on the window which wasn't in the earlier shot. (00:18:05 - 00:24:15)

Girl Shy - S6-E15

Visible crew/equipment: After Andy agrees with Helen to suggest a blind-date for Warren, when it cuts to Warren walking into the courthouse, we can see set lighting and equipment behind the door instead of the usual painted backdrop. (00:01:55)

A Man's Best Friend - S6-E12

Other mistake: During the scenes at Goober's filling station we can see a few brand names covered. For example, the "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco" wall thermometer sign has its brand name "Mail Pouch" covered with black tape, and all the yellow "Pennzoil" cans have half the letters of their brand name painted yellow, so all the cans read "en zo."

Off to Hollywood - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: When Warren parks the squad car at the bus stop, as he gets out of the car note the long whip antenna is attached to the bracket over the rear passenger door, but when it cuts to the closeup the whip antenna has vanished. (00:21:25)

Other mistake: When Ida is with Prince, in some of the closeups Prince is wearing a custom halter noseband with "Sky High Angels" embossed on the leather. The "Sweethearts of the Rodeo" rodeo stunts featured in the movie were performed by the "Sky High Angels" a real rodeo drill team, and Prince was played by Hank, an equine member of the "Sky High Angels."

Sherlock (2010)

Continuity mistake: During dinner, on the back of Rocky's chair there's a party hat which keeps switching from being upright to hanging by its elastic over the chair's ball finial, depending on the angle of the shot. (01:03:55)

Continuity mistake: During dinner, when Frank begins to sing Happy Birthday to Rocky, Magenta walks around the table serving the slices of "meat", but in Frank's closeup when he sits down Magenta is still standing beside him. (01:05:30)

Silence in the Library (1) - S4-E8

Visible crew/equipment: While the Doctor tries to get into the data core (after Proper Dave tried) it cuts to the telephone still ringing, and when the young girl asks her dad why he's not answering the phone, just as he tells her that the phone is not ringing the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen.

The Brady Bunch (1969)

You Can't Win 'Em All - S4-E22

Revealing mistake: When Cindy and her parents get home after the television show, just as Carol and Mike walk down the steps the set's unfinished wood can be seen at the edge of the steps, at the bottom right corner of the screen. (00:22:40)

The Brady Bunch (1969)

You Can't Win 'Em All - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: At the start, when Cindy walks into the kitchen she sets her books down on the counter with the book's binding facing the sink, but in the closeup the book's binding now faces the opposite way, toward the stove. Additionally, the grocery bag which was on the counter right beside Carol, has been moved for the closeup so Carol is in full view, but the bag is now at the very edge of the counter near the stove, which is pretty odd since there's not enough counter there to actually hold the full grocery bag (presumably something else supported the bag off camera).

Deliberate mistake: When Bobby's at the treehouse the second time for his initiation into the club, there's a boy already up in the treehouse, and after Peter takes the birdcage from Bobby's hand, the next closeup of the boy in the treehouse is a flipped shot, note the wood boards. (00:08:25)

Pieces of April mistake picture

Continuity mistake: April writes a note to Bobby on the back (note the clasp) of a manila envelope telling him about the stove being broken, but the next two times we see that note the writing is on the front of the manila envelope and the handwriting has changed. (00:22:15 - 00:33:25)
