The Incredible Hulk mistake picture

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jennifer Walters is first introduced, her fingernails are unpolished. Later when she is restrained in Dr. Doom's lair, her fingernails alternate between being painted pink and red. Given that she and Bruce were running for their lives, she wouldn't have had time to paint her nails. Later when she transforms into She-Hulk, her fingernails turn green with the rest of her body, but if her fingernails were painted, they should still appear that color, as her skin and hair turning green wouldn't magically remove nail polish.

Doomed - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Dr. Doom's robots abduct Jennifer and load her into the aircraft, Hulk hitches a ride all the way to Doom's estate, falling off the aircraft and breaking into the estate before the aircraft has time to land. Despite this, Dr. Doom already has Jennifer secured to an infirmary table and medical machinery by the time Hulk confronts Doom.

Doomed - S1-E7

Other mistake: This show is in the same continuity as the Fantastic Four series from around the same time. However, in Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom has a German accent, and in this episode, he has a slight British accent.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bruce and She-Hulk are hitchhiking, the sign for New York behind them changes size and lettering. When it is first shown, it is significantly taller than both of them with the lettering reading "NeW York" (sic) in a thin and long font type. When the shot changes, the sign is much shorter and the lettering now reads as "NEW York" in a more block-lettering style.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the robot blasts through Jennifer's door, the door is immediately shown to be severely damaged. When Bruce Banner runs towards the robot with a baseball bat, the door is fully intact. When the shot changes, the door is once again demolished.

Doomed - S1-E7

Factual error: The opening shot of this episode incorrectly depicts the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to be located between the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol building. In reality, the reflecting pool is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial, with the Washington Monument roughly 1/5 of a mile east of the World War II Memorial, and the U.S. Capitol nearly a mile and a half east of the Washington Monument.

Doomed - S1-E7

Factual error: When Hulk throws the Humvee at the helicopter, the pilot bails just before it explodes and manages to deploy his parachute. The helicopter was hovering roughly 30 feet above some buildings. That's not nearly enough distance for the pilot to have deployed his parachute before he fell onto the roof of one of the buildings.

Doomed - S1-E7

Other mistake: When the robot shoots the rocket at the helicopter, the pilot jumps out with a parachute merely a split second after the blast. It was a surprise attack, so it's not like the pilot saw it coming.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Bruce and Jennifer get into her car to try and escape from the robots, they are both shown putting on their seatbelts. When the shot changes, they are suddenly not wearing seatbelts.

Fantastic Fortitude - S1-E8

Factual error: The opening shot of the Statue of Liberty shows the statue's left arm to be raised too high. The real statue has its left arm close to its midsection, whereas the statue depicted here has its arm nearly raised to shoulder level. (00:00:01)

Fantastic Fortitude - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the cage is dropped over the Thing, you can see it is a big solid rock slab on top of wooden bars. When the shot changes, the inside of the cage somehow fills up with bananas, even though there was nowhere for them to drop directly into the cage from.

The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1

Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.

More trivia for The Incredible Hulk

Answer: I believe it was mentioned in an issue of Wizard Magazine that the show was cancelled because of low ratings, and reportedly the show's creative shift in the second season had a part to play in the low ratings, as the changes alienated fans.
