My Old Lady - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When JD is at the birthday party, watch the chocolate on his face. At one point there are two separate bits of chocolate on his left cheek, then the shot changes and they are gone. The shot changes again and they are back.

Guy

My Two Dads - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: The third time Elliott exposes herself to a patient (this time to the dead one that Dr. Cox is about to pronounce), you can see quite plainly that she doesn't raise her scrub top enough to reveal her breasts. In fact, the shot is wide enough that if she had, her breasts would have been fully visible on camera.

My Bad - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Turk and Elliott are in the line at the cafeteria, you can see that Turk has two plates on his tray and Elliott has a juice box on her tray. When they turn around at the end of the line Turk has just one plate on his tray and the juice box on Elliott's tray is also gone.

My Bad - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the janitor is speaking into the stethoscope, his right elbow is on his knee and his left hand is on the mattress, when it cuts closer, his elbow is further up and his hand is next to his leg.

Cybermoose

My Super Ego - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: When J.D. goes to apologise to Nick Murdoch, just after he passes the torch to him, Nick says "we need to get the results of this urine sample." As he says this line, the boom can be seen. (00:14:50)

My Day Off - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: At the end when they are in the bar, Dr Cox asks for 5 shot glasses, the camera cuts to JD and then back to Dr Cox. The glasses have been filled, but not enough time has passed for all 5 to have been done.

Cybermoose

My Nickname - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Dr Cox goes to speak to Miss Tracy, he walks past the nurses' station where the clock reads around quarter to 12. The same clock is viewable behind him once he is in Miss Tracy's room, and the time now reads around half past 9.

My Nickname - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Carla says "If I wanted his ass kicked I'd do it myself" and Todd makes the cat sound, Turk has his arm on the couch behind Carla's back. When it cuts his arm is gone. He couldn't have moved it that fast.

Mortug

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.

Season 1 generally

Question: In one episode (I think it's My Balancing Act) Dr Kelso is trying to scare the interns, so he pulls his face off and 'becomes' a guy with crazy ginger hair and a very annoying loud voice. I'm a Brit so that's maybe why I don't recognise this guy. Is he supposed to be someone famous?

Answer: This is an American comedian called Scott Thompson, more widely known by his stage name of "Carrot Top".
