CSI: Miami

Triple Threat - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: The real estate mogul is shot on an upstairs balcony. He falls face first and flips over a rail with his head toward the house. He lands on his back on an ice sculpture. When he's shown, his head is facing away from the house. He would have to turn 180 degrees while falling to land in this position.

Divorce Party - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: During the intro of the episode. Trent/Roger is hanging in the gazebo, and the M.E. is examining the body. In one shot Calleigh is talking to the party thrower and as you look over his shoulder you see the back of the M.E. examining the mouth of the man and the front of the dead body. Next shot you see M.E. examining the mouth again. Next shot the hung dead body is turned almost with his back to Calleigh, with M.E. still examining the body around its shoulders. Next shot the body has turned again and is facing Calleigh. (00:02:00)

Tunnel Vision - S6-E18

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, we see the red car falling entirely into the hole, none of the parts are out of it, but, a few shots after the CSI team has arrived, the back of the car is now out of the hole. (00:02:15)

Death Grip - S2-E4

Curse Of The Coffin - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: During the part where Callie and Delko are in the open mausoleum area of the cemetery, Callie snaps a picture at one area of the mausoleum wall. If you look closely, the crypt says someone by the name of 'Thacker' is buried there. Callie then says that the faint woman's voice that had been picked up by the audio surveillance (placed in the cemetery for the storyline with the suspect burying the gold, then getting killed) had occurred about "100 feet" from the spot where she took the picture. However, later in the episode when flashbacks are used, we now see the suspect woman uttering the words that had been picked up on audio, and she is standing right next to the crypt where 'Thacker' is buried, not 100 feet away or somewhere further away in the mausoleum area.

Open Water - S4-E22

Continuity mistake: At the onset of the episode, we see the overview of the cruise ship with full sunlight, many women sunbathing on the deck, and people/staff walking around. We then hear "man overboard", and everybody on the ship's deck takes notice. Various people, including the ship's captain and the man's wife, then attempt to help the man to no avail. A few minutes later in the episode, Horatio and Delko are questioning the ship's captain about what happened and asked him about witnesses, etc. The ship's captain said "he didn't think that there weren't any witnesses around, as this happened around 6am." The ship's captain would have no reason to lie at this point, so this was totally inconsistent with the events shown just a few minutes earlier.

Payback - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Wolfe calls Valerie to ask her a question about the investigation, he raises his phone to his ear with his right hand, but when Valerie picks up, the phone has jumped to Wolfe's left hand. (00:19:35)

Show generally

Factual error: Calleigh Duquesne frequently wears completely inappropriate clothing throughout the whole series. She often wears blouses that are so low cut that the neckline is below the lower curve of her breasts. No officer of the court in the US would be allowed to dress this way. There is no grey area here, and this is not a character mistake - first time a CSI turned up at work dressed like that, she'd be sent home to change. Second time, she'd be on suspension until she agreed to change her dress standards. Also (and this regularly happens in CSI: NY as well) she is regularly wearing high heels - also a certain no-no for as CSI. Incidentally, male CSIs have equally strict dress standards.

Tinder Box - S1-E22

Trivia: Because the episode 'Tinder Box' closely resembled (and was likely based on) the fire at a nightclub in Rhode Island that killed 100 people, the local CBS affiliate decided not to air the episode so soon after the event.
