The Twisted World of Marge Simpson - S8-E11
Continuity mistake: At the fair, Helen Lovejoy picks up a pita and bites a corner off it. There are a few angle changes and when it goes back to her and you can see her pita looks untouched. It's unlikely she just picked up another one or finished a whole one in that time.

Three Hundred Big Boys - S5-E11
Continuity mistake: When Bender is being filmed stealing the cigar, we see the "robocop" showing the footage on his screen. In the wide angle you can see he has the siren on top of his head, then in the next shot it's suddenly not there. Then he actually raises it out of his head in the final angle.
19th Apr 2004
Revealing mistake: When the guys go to see Tom at the BBQ, he has his head in a support cage. Every time he moves, and particularly when he laughs, this cage moves around and wobbles. The point of these cages is to keep the head still and in line with the spine, and are bolted into the bone itself. Therefore, not only should it be impossible for it to be moving, it would seriously hurt if it was.

The One Where The Stripper Cries - S10-E11
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the episode, Ross and Chandler come into Monica's apartment and Ross asks where Rachel is. Watch the objects in Monica's hands, in the shot from behind she puts them on the table, and then does it again in the shot from the front. (00:24:00)
19th Apr 2004
Factual error: Whilst impressive, the snow covered set of Trafalgar Square is still far too small.

The One With Monica and Chandler's Wedding, Part 1 - S7-E23
Continuity mistake: At the rehearsal dinner when Chandler loosens his tie and unbuttons his collar, the tie changes its appearance in the following shots from being tighter to looser several times. (00:09:30)
18th Apr 2004
The One With The Truth About London - S7-E16
Other mistake: Right at the very end, when Joey is in the fat-suit and picks up a piece of food and says "How you doin'?" he doesn't put it in his mouth, he just lifts it to his lips, stops, and tries to stay still. If this had been a freeze on the part of the director then fair enough, but it isn't as he and particularly Monica are still moving. It just looks rather corny and amateur, as though they are waiting for the "cut" to be called. (00:28:00)
18th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: When the 3 "flying" babies crash into their mother, look at the one in the red clothes. In the wider shot it has a lot of dribble on its chin, but this vanishes in the closer shot.
18th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: When Bender is brought into the surgery tent and Zap is holding Nixon, the level of the fluid in Nixon's jar changes between angles. In the wider shots it covers his whole head, in the closer ones the top of his head is above the fluid.
17th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Roz are in the cafe talking about the See Bees, Roz says something like "Those shows are torture." When she does there are many different shots in a short space of time and if you're quick you can see the coffee mug suddenly jump into her hand without picking it up.
17th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: Why can Lilith hear what they are saying through the door? In several other episodes, the characters have had arguments or insulted the person at the door without them being able to hear. Yet here suddenly it's possible for her to hear.
14th Apr 2004
Audio problem: When Frasier and Martin go to see the woman play the piano it's very badly dubbed. Quite often her hands are at totally the wrong end for the sound the instrument is producing.
14th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: Right at the start when Frasier is talking to Niles in the furniture shop, at one point he says "Don't you hear that," and holds his hand in a fist. The shot cuts instantly to Niles and you can see his hand is now about a foot higher and his palm is suddenly open.
14th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: When Frasier is talking to Patrick Stewart (who is putting his coat on) in Cafe Nervosa, the collar on Patrick's coat fixes itself between shots, without him doing anything to it. In particular, one of the lapels is stuck under the coat for one shot and is suddenly normal in the next shot.
14th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: The "Cartridge Robot" never takes the "Introduction" tape out of his slot, but in the wider shot it's suddenly vanished.
10th Apr 2004
Factual error: If you look at the loop Keanu hooks the crane onto on top of the lift you can see that it and its bracket have been recently welded on (by the black residue it leaves), obviously because the lift itself didn't have such a loop. Even if such a feature existed, it wouldn't be simply spot welded on the top as this one is, it would need to be part of the lift's structure if it were to serve any purpose in supporting it in an emergency. (00:13:05)
6th Apr 2004
Deliberate mistake: When the world is counting down to the new year, we see people in various countries, Egypt, the USA etc all counting down together. Because of time zone differences this isn't possible. [It is a little joke.] (00:01:35)
6th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: When Fry, Leela and Bender are in the mutant village they walk past a building which has the sign on it "Dry Cleaners." However, when the shot cuts to the close up, it has suddenly changes to just "Cleaners." (00:15:40)
6th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: When Fry and Leela are standing in the corridor with the portraits of the past Emperors, there are numerous errors. Including the picture of Fry vanishing, as well as blank frames appearing and figures facing the wrong direction. (00:11:50)
6th Apr 2004
I, Roommate - S1-E3
Other mistake: When the crew are leaving Fry's new apartment, Amy slips on the banana skin again and falls over, and for some reason Fry tries to shut the door without her leaving. Maybe it was easier than drawing her getting up, but still worth a look. (00:15:30)
