White on White and Nearly Perfect - S5-E4

Visible crew/equipment: While Jim and Lance stakeout Teasdale's house they see what looks like the delivery of guard dogs.

Say Goodbye to Jennifer - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Early in the morning, before Rockford heads out to the airport for a stand-by flight, when he picks up the phone receiver he holds it in his right hand, then it cuts to a closeup. This closeup presents three issues. One, Rockford is wearing a pinky ring on his right hand that doesn't exist otherwise; two, a rolodex suddenly appears beside the telephone; three, the right hand in the closeup is not holding the receiver.
