Continuity mistake: In the episode where Elliot is missing J.D. and talking to him a lot on her phone, he asks her to drop the phone into Dr. Cox's pocket. She drops it into his left coat pocket, but he later pulls it out of his right coat pocket. He couldn't have changed it in his pocket, because he's surprised to find it.

Other mistake: While trying to attract Dr. Cox's attention, J.D. switches off his television, using the manual on/off switch on the set itself, rendering the television inactive. After throwing J.D. out, Cox turns the television back on using the remote, and that isn't possible. He'd have to get up and switch the television on using the manual switch before the remote would operate, because J.D. didn't switch the television onto standby - the standby light goes out - he switches the television OFF.

Elliot: Dr. Cox, does this lipstick make me look like a clown?
Dr. Cox: No, Barbie... It makes you look like a prostitute who caters exclusively TO clowns.
