His Story - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Right after Kelso thanks Cox and walks away, one earpiece of Cox's stethoscope is hooked under his coat lapel. When the shot changes to show Cox turning around, both earpieces are free and hanging lower on Cox's chest.

My Own Private Practice Guy - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: When Laverne does a slam dunk, you can see that the ramp leading to the hospital main entrance has no-one standing on it or in front of it. But before and after the slam dunk you see see two doctors with a basketball on the ramp, and Franklin standing remarkably still, with a camera, in front of it.

My New Role - S8-E7

Audio problem: Season 8, episode 7 "My New Role": Before the opening credits, JD taps a pencil against a cup, and other various devices in the hospital start making a song. At the end of this song, the Janitor can be seen playing the bongo. The rhythm of his hands do not match the rhythm of the bongo sounds at all. After the song ends, JD turns to the Janitor, who is again playing the bongo. This time, however, his rhythm of his hands do match up with the rhythm of the bongo sounds.

My New Suit - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: As JD is unwrapping the patients head while talking to the Janitor, he completely unwraps the gauze and there is 3-4 inches of hair showing. The shot changes and suddenly the head has gauze on it again and only about an inch of hair is visible above the bandage.

Guy

My Common Enemy - S4-E7

Factual error: In the scene where J.D goes to Elliot's apartment and finds Dan there he sings along to "Thank you" by Dido. However that song is from the album "No Angel". The album cover shown in the episode is "Life for rent" which doesn't feature the song.

My Hard Labor - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: While Kim is holding the baby for the first time, she has her right hand under the baby. When JD asks if he can hold the baby, her right hand has moved and is holding the baby's head.

Lummie

My Quarantine - S4-E16

Other mistake: When the Janitor plays with Kelso 'double or nothing' for tossing the cotton ball a second time in the jar, Todd tells Kelso he now owes him $600, in the end it was $700. This isn't a 'double or nothing' amount of money the Janitor could generate. They started with $5, so the count would be 5 - 10 - 20 - 40 - 80 - 160 - 320 - 640 - 1280 and so on.

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".
