Humilithon - S4-E2
Continuity mistake: When Hal starts to fight with Lionel with the mop at the school when Hal turns his back you can see it is wet from the mop a few scenes before he hit them and then the frame before Lionel strikes Hal with the mop his shirt is dry again. (00:17:05)
Continuity mistake: When we see Dewey's friend at the table eating cereal he is eating cereal and the bowl is full of milk. In the next shot the bowl is full of cereal and there is barely any milk.
Continuity mistake: Hal speaks about having held Malcolm the moment he was born. But in the Season 2 episode "Flashback" not only was he not there for his birth, he didn't hold him immediately, instead he talked to Lois.
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Lois says that Malcolm is a genius, his arms keep changing position between shots.
Visible crew/equipment: You can see the crew right after the intro. (00:01:00)

Other mistake: The book Reese is sawing through in the background, while Malcom is talking into the camera, is already cut in half and the saw is not sawing anything. Then they cut to Reese about 7 seconds later as he actually saws the book in half. (00:02:13)
Pearl Harbor - S6-E4
Continuity mistake: Reese had a lot of food in his bowl (when complaining about the low-fat food she has made them eat), then Lois puts food in his suddenly empty bowl. (00:05:25)
Audio problem: You can hear the new boss speak, but her mouth doesn't move. (00:16:30)
Plot hole: There is no way that Malcolm would have been able to write that message on his stomach. He gets found by the nurse and then we see him in a room getting some medicine and then he is in the operating room.
Suggested correction: Actually before is given some type of sedation before the surgery he is wearing a different hospital gown. He would have had enough time to write the message on his stomach when he was asked to change into the blue gown.
Helmut was afraid Malcolm would run off again, so he likely changed him into the blue hospital gown after he tied him up to the bed. Malcolm could not scribble the message if his entire body was restrained. In the operating room we see he cannot move due to the injection Helmet gave him which eliminates the possibility of him writing the note here. Malcolm probably convinced the doctor who ran the blood test to have one of the surgeons secretly write the note after they prepped him in the OR.
Audio problem: When Craig reveals Lois is innocent, his lip movements do not match the audio as he says: "Lois was right all along." (00:21:00)

Continuity mistake: When Malcolm goes into the classroom and gives his teacher a hamburger she eats about half of the burger really quickly but in the next shot of the hamburger there appear to be only a few bites taken.
Living Will - S6-E12
Continuity mistake: In Season 2: Episode 15, when Francis and a group of people are volunteering at the Lucky Aid, Craig mentions to them that he might've accidentally mailed the marked inventory numbers to his mother. However, in this episode, Craig has never seen or interacted with his mother because his father told him when he was a child that she passed away.
Continuity mistake: When Lois fights with the woman in the mud puddle, the tug of war rope is seen dropped on the ground, and then tense again. This alternates between close and far shots.
Halloween Approximately - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: When Francis walks into the boy's room the calendar says September 2000. In the next shot it changes to October 2000. After that Reece says "No, it really is the 31st" he flips up the September page of the calendar to October. (00:06:15 - 00:07:15)
