Continuity mistake: During the shootout on the rooftop, there is a point when Ness is above Nitti who then starts shooting. He hits 2 glass bottles next to some sort of bucket. However, in the next shot of Ness this bucket has simply vanished.

Frasier (1993)
Other mistake: The guy who plays Clive in this episode has one of the most appalling accents I have heard. He's apparently from Manchester, but sounds like a sort of cockney South African. His accent slips around all the time; it's very poor. I wouldn't normally submit it, but his is so shockingly bad I doubt anyone would be fooled into thinking he was British.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I think this may have been deliberate. The episode is almost meant to be ridiculous, with the characters quickly churning out lies on the spur of the moment, and everyone supporting the fake family story without objection.

The Simpsons (1989)
Continuity mistake: When George and Homer burst out of the manhole, there is a shot of the Simpsons' house covered in mud, then a quick one of it totally clean, then another when it's muddy again.

Continuity mistake: In the Mozart sketch, the music Bart writes with his foot and then picks up suddenly vanishes in the next shot.

The Courtroom (2004)
Factual error: In one episode, I think it's the one entitled "Breaking Point" which featured an assault, right at the end the barristers from different sides are seen shaking hands in the courtroom. This is a breach of one of the most important rules of the British adversarial court system and it's second nature to barristers not to do it.

A Word to the Wiseguy - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: The guy Niles and Frasier meet at the Cafe puts his coffee cup down twice between shots, after he has made the phone call and before he leaves. (00:09:20)

Frasier (1993)
A Word to the Wiseguy - S3-E15
Audio problem: Around the time when Niles is talking about "wealthy white women," there is a shot when his mouth is moving but there is no sound coming out. It then suddenly changes to a shot when you can hear what he is saying. (00:02:15)

Revealing mistake: When the waitress brings Frasier his coffee, she tilts the cup quite a lot and you can see that it's empty. (00:13:00)

Love's Labors Lost in Space - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: We can see that the door of the cargo area is nearly on the ground. How come Fry can then run out of the same door and then fall out of the door near the top of the ship? (00:17:00)

The Courtroom (2004)
Factual error: There are several instances of barristers, judges and court officials wearing the wrong court attire. Ushers are seen in wigs, which they don't wear, the judges have their winter garments on, despite it being summer and vice versa. Similarly, none of the barristers are ever presented as "QCs" and yet several are wearing the QC silks, but none have the waistcoat which goes with it.
6th Jul 2004
The Courtroom (2004)
Factual error: At several points, barristers who are not QCs are seen leaning on little podiums or rostrums (which they have brought into the court themselves). Only QCs are allowed to use these.

ER (1994)
Survival of the Fittest - S7-E17
Continuity mistake: When Carter is talking to the boy who has asthma, at one point he says something like "I'm trying to help," notice the tube is not in the boy's mouth. The angle then changes, and he is holding the tube in his mouth instantly.

ER (1994)
Continuity mistake: When Carter is doing the eye test on the old woman, between shots he is holding the glass in front of a different eye instantly.

Put Your Head on My Shoulder - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: After the accident when Fry looks at his body, there is a tool kit or something similar more or less right in between the body's legs. In a few moments there is a shot from above and the kit is several feet to the right of the body without anyone touching it.

Futurama (1999)
Anthology of Interest 2 - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: In the Wizard of Oz segment, Fry is reading a book to a crow. In one shot it is open, in the wider shot it's closed.

Frasier (1993)
Continuity mistake: Right at the start, the tapes Roz is holding change hands at least twice. Although you can't often see both her hands, you sometimes see one and yet they still switch by the next shot.
30th Jun 2004
Frasier (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Niles brings out the "Hot-Buns," he hands it to Martin who instantly in the next shot, is pulling it out from under him when Daphne comes in. There really wasn't time for him to put it under himself first.
