Scrubs

My Boss's Free Haircut - S4-E20

Other mistake: When Bob is trying to get into the patients room, he uses a screwdriver to break in. The door opens into the room with the hinges on the inside, theres no way he could get at them and the door frame is intact as shown when the door falls in.

Season 5 generally

Continuity mistake: Turk times Carla's pregnancy test by putting some mini snacks in the microwave. Then, just afterwards, they're all neatly stacked next to him even though neither of them went near the microwave.

My New Game - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: Right near the beginning, Jordan adjusts Cox's stethoscope and collar. The end of the stethoscope then goes back and forth between inside and outside of his coat for the remainder of the scene.

My Hero (2) - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: When Ben is spinning JD round on his shoulder, from a long cut he is spinning JD backwards, but in the closeup JD is spinning with his head facing forward.

My First Step - S2-E7

Visible crew/equipment: When Todd says "Why won't any women talk with me?" it cuts to a girl saying "Because you're slimy." You should be able to see the boom mike coming into frame above the clock on the wall.

My Fallen Idol - S5-E21

Plot hole: In the season 5 episode "My Fallen Idol", it is a key plot point that Turk has a hard time hugging guys. However in the Season 3 episode "My American Girl" Turk openly gives another surgeon a hug after J.D. makes fun of him. It is not possible for him to have changed because it shows that even before they became doctors, Turk would not hug J.D.

My Fishbowl - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: In episode 6-12 "My Fishbowl," the janitor waits outside a door holding a fishbowl. The door opens into the room as seen several times. You can even see that the hinges are set up to open in. When the janitor sets the fish bowl down you can see that the door has changed and opens out into the hall.

Season 2 generally

Deliberate mistake: In one of the later episodes of season 2 Turk is seen being bored in surgery and checking the patient's wristwatch to see how long they have been operating. Patients are not allowed to wear jewelry or watches during surgery as there is a VERY high risk of infection and it might kill them.

My Roommates - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: When Carla and Turk tell JD that he is around them all the time, it cuts to a scene with Carla and Turk in the tub while JD is using the toilet. It cuts back to JD saying "And here I thought that was a lovely evening" while he is holding a bowl of popcorn in his hands. When it cuts the bowl is suddenly on the table.
