Charmed

Heartbreak City - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: In this episode, the Cupid needs his ring in able to "fade" from place to place but in Season Eight Coop loses his ring to a demon and he is still able to "fade" from place to place. (00:18:00)

Love Hurts - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: In this episode Leo specifically tells Prue, Piper and Phoebe not to touch the Darklighters arrow because it is poisonous however in future episodes/seasons, the Darklighter arrows are only poisonous to Whitelighters. (00:06:30)

Pardon My Past - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Leo says that Piper's past lover is his past life. If it was a past life, in 1924, that means Leo must have died almost straight away to be old enough to qualify as a doctor in WW2. And it wouldn't be his past life but his own past if it was the same life from before he became a Whitelighter. But then he'd also have been 15-20 years older before he died in WW2.

Charmed Again (2) - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: In the church scene when Phoebe and Piper are showing Paige how to use her power, Piper says "according to the prophecy, the third sister has the power to move things with her mind, like Prue could." Prue was not the third sister, but the first. Paige is technically The Fourth Sister, but since the prophecy didn't speak of a "Power of Four", she would automatically become the third sister after Prue's death. (01:02:42)

Sight Unseen - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Cole goes to the manor, turns the AC on, knocks a lamp on the ground and opens a window, then shimmers up to the attic. When the sisters come home all the windows are open, but Cole opened only one downstairs.

Hell Hath No Fury - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: During the opening, Piper, Phoebe and Cole are in an SUV and going to find a demon. A shot from in front shows that there is no rearview mirror in the SUV, just a white mark on the windshield. When they turn into the parking lot however, the rearview mirror has returned.

Guy

Witch Wars - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Paige goes to The Bay Mirror to bring Phoebe potions we see she has 3 different colored potions: green, blue, and orange. She hands the light blue "explosive" to Phoebe, then hands the green one saying it's "acid" but when she hands Phoebe the last potion the camera angle changes and we see that she's again handing her the green one. At this time we see that Phoebe is holding the blue and the orange ones. (00:10:28)

The Three Faces of Phoebe - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe casts the spell to hear her hearts desire about marrying Cole it conjures old Phoebe and young Phoebe. When Leo, Piper, and Paige enter the room they all room perplexed by who the two people, just conjured, are. If this is supposed to be young Phoebe, wouldn't Leo (who has followed all them their whole lives) Piper and especially Phoebe recognize the younger Phoebe immediately instead of being confused by who she is?

UniquelyMe

House Call - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Leo finds Piper on the ladder removing the "filthy" wood shingles he's wearing a crew-neck grey and blue pullover, but when Piper climbs off the ladder and Leo tells her she needs to snap out of it Leo is wearing something beige with a collar, then it's back to the crew-neck pullover. (00:31:00)

Super Grover

Bite Me - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: While at P3, Leo tells Phoebe that she can't turn into a Harpy just by getting scratched, and when Piper cautions Leo to use discretion Piper raises her left arm to Leo, but in the next shot it's Piper's right arm that's raised. (00:16:05)

Super Grover

Black as Cole - S4-E8

Continuity mistake: After Phoebe finds the Scavenger Demon page in the Book of Shadows the camera dollies out, and when Piper asks what happened with Cole, the crew's taped black mat is visible on the bare floor with no fringed area rug, then when Cole shimmers into the attic, in the next shot of Piper and Phoebe we see the fringed area rug at the bottom of the screen. (00:06:35)

Super Grover

Look Who's Barking - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe adds the photos to the Book of Shadows, Phoebe writes "Cole's human form" with large letters, then in the shot facing Phoebe as she says, "Your date, the guy you've been smooching," we see it's underlined with smaller writing, but in following shots it's back to the original larger lettering without the underline.

Super Grover

P3 H2O - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: After Prue and Phoebe send contagious Piper back up to bed, it cuts to three consecutive shots of buses arriving at camp. In the first shot, the bus license plate is white with the number "2IAB345" and we see markings on the bus as the counselor exits. The second closer shot shows two kids exiting the bus. Then in the third wideshot, with those same two kids beside the door, the license plate is now blue with the number "876QPD" and we see the same markings on the bus as in the first shot, so we know it's the same bus. (00:22:05)

Super Grover

Bride and Gloom - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: While Dantalian tries to steal the Book of Shadows from the attic Piper and Phoebe surprise her, then when Phoebe kicks Dantalian and she falls we see the stuntwoman's footwear has chunky sole ridges, but when the sisters approach Dantalian her shoes have heels. (00:32:10)

Super Grover

Murphy's Luck - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: When Prue shows her sisters the article in 415 Magazine with her photo credit, in the closeup we see that Prue opens the magazine with the article and Maggie's photograph on the page to the right, but in the next shot facing Piper and Phoebe the magazine is folded open and they're looking at the page to the left with an entirely different page to the right. (00:40:40)

Super Grover

Animal Pragmatism - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When the ani-men break into the manor the entire large center glass of the left door ends up broken, but later while Phoebe is looking for the hydrogen peroxide, Prue notices the front doors and the left door's center glass is intact with only the bottom corner broken. (00:22:00 - 00:27:05)

Super Grover

Be Careful What You Witch For - S2-E22

Plot hole: When teenage Prue has run away with the demon, and Phoebe and Piper find her in the park, teenage Prue is 'killed'. Her sisters drive her home to get Leo to heal her, but shouldn't they have just been able to call to Leo to orb to them when Prue was first hurt, and heal her in the park, and save driving back to the Manor, risking Prue dying?

Suggested correction: I see orbing to the park but he didn't heal her, she was already dead and he can't heal the dead, that's why the genie brought her back - that's what Phoebe wished for.

But if they would have called for him right away - he would have been able to heal her before she died. However at this point in time I don't think they knew how to call for him.

Yes, they did know how to call him. At least Phoebe did, because when Piper got sick in the hospital from the disease she inherited from the illegal fruit, Prue and Phoebe screamed out Leo's name until he appeared in the attic.

They did, they first tried it in the episode when Piper was sick with an exotic disease and dying in the hospital.

It bothers me that they never used it again until Season 4. When Prue was held by Abby, Leo could have helped if she called, and so many other times... so annoying.

Cole: Phoebe, I love you. I don't know what's going on but maybe I can help. Would you like me to kill someone for you?

Incorrect. Her billing changed in season 4 but she didn't become a producer until season 5.
