Scrubs

My Fifteen Seconds - S3-E7

Other mistake: The second '15 second countdown' with Jill Tracy, just after she's been to the toilet, actually lasts 24 seconds. They slowed it down to fit more dialogue in.

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

My Overkill - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Right at the start, two guys to our right of Jordan nod heads and walk off to the right, the shot cuts to the table and back to Jordan and the same guys are back (and this time walk off in opposite directions).

Cybermoose

My Interpretation - S2-E20

Visible crew/equipment: During the scene where JD is fantasizing about dancing with the German patient to "99 Luft Balloons," a crew member's green-sleeved arm is momentarily visible throwing balloons into the shot.

Guy

My Fifteen Seconds - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Ted is explaining to Dr. Kelso about the stethoscopes being too tight, Ted is holding one in his hands. When seen from Dr. Kelso's point of view, the earpieces (white) are close together but when seen from the side they are crossed far past each other.

Guy

My Butterfly - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: When Carla tells Turk off the second time (for not standing up for her) she is to the right and Turk is on the left, but when she leaves she walks to the right and passes Turk as he says "You're absolutely right baby and I apologise". This is because they re-used the shot from the first version of that day where Turk was standing on the right after he stood up to Kelso.

My Overkill - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When JD is done talking with Kelso, JD is holding a file in his hands. JD says "I'm the wiz kid." and it cuts to a close-up of the Janitor wetting JD's pants, but the file is no longer in his hands.

Mortug

Carla: You can deny you like her all you want. But, I know for a fact, that every time you guys are done "playing racquetball" or "having a conversation" or whatever it is you crazy kids are calling it, you like nothing more than to just lie next to Jordan and watch her sleep.
Dr. Cox: It would be impossible for me to lie next to Jordan, she sleeps hanging from a ramp in the ceiling, wrapped in a cocoon of her own wings.

Trivia: The janitor's nametag actually says "Janitor" emphasising the mystery surrounding his name.

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".
