Samantha Goes South for a Spell - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: The minute hand on the teakettle clock is between the 6 and the 7 when it's shown behind Samantha. When she goes to the closet, the clock reads 8:15 (minute hand on the 3). When she returns, the minute hand is between the 6 and the 7 again. (00:02:20)
Continuity mistake: In the early shows, the door between the dining room and kitchen is a swinging door with louvers. In later shows there is a regular sized door with partial louvers. However, after this change, there are a couple of episodes within the same season, where the regular sized louver door is a solid door with no louvers.
Continuity mistake: The amount of toys on the floor suddenly increases as Michael's mother heads to the front door. (00:06:45)
Revealing mistake: As Larry walks up to the Stephens' house, his shadow falls across the "house" and "street" behind him, revealing that it is a painted backdrop. (00:14:45)
My, What Big Ears You Have - S4-E14
Factual error: When Abner opens the carton in their garage, Gladys asks what it is, Abner replies that it is a table saw, however, it is a radial arm saw.
To Trick or Treat or Not to Trick or Treat - S6-E7
Revealing mistake: The wire used to control the flaming arrow's flight is visible in the closeup. (00:21:00)
Audio problem: Tabitha is heard saying "Okay," but her lips don't move. (00:03:45)
Allergic to Macedonian Dodo Birds - S4-E11
Visible crew/equipment: When Samantha and Aunt Clara are on the roof of the house, the shadow of what appears to be someone's arm appears against the "sky" backdrop on the left side. (00:23:00)
Other mistake: Samantha is reading a 4-line note from Endora. The paper is semi-transparent and in a shot from the front, we can easily see the writing through the paper. However, after the note is "twitched" into a second, shorter note, there's another shot from the front - and the lettering looks exactly the same as it did before. (00:16:40)
It's So Nice to Have a Spouse Around the House - S5-E5
Plot hole: Darrin tells Serena that it was a good idea to have Endora babysit Tabitha. However, he wasn't even home when Endora left with Tabitha; he was unaware that a sitter was even needed. How could he have known? (00:12:40)
Continuity mistake: The doorknob on the nursery room door is on the right side of the door whether it's viewed from outside or inside the room. It should be on the left side in one of the views and the right side in the other. (00:07:00)
George Washington Zapped Here (2) - S8-E22
Revealing mistake: When Samantha is showing Martha the washing machine, look at Martha's shadow; it's visible on the "trees" outside the window in the door, making it obvious it is a painted backdrop. (00:05:35)
Continuity mistake: When Larry comes to the Stephens' house, he looks at Dr. Bombay and asks "who's that?" In Season 3, There's Gold in Them Thar Pills he met Dr. Bombay and partnered with him to sell Dr. Bombay's pill to cure the common cold.
Samantha and the Troll - S7-E19
Revealing mistake: The wires used to help Adam's cup of milk float around are plainly visible. (00:00:25)
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Darrin announces that he doesn't like cream in his coffee. In season 2, "The Joker is a Card," Darrin likes cream in his coffee, and Uncle Arthur zaps a cow into the living room.
Adam, Warlock or Washout? - S8-E14
Character mistake: In Season 3, Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things, Maurice says he won't stay for Tabitha's testing coven because it's "women's work" but in this episode, when Adam is finally tested, he arrives and says he wouldn't miss seeing his grandchild being tested.
Visible crew/equipment: When the deck of cards is floating up the steps you can see the shadow of the pole used to "float" the cards... look to the left on the wall and towards the ceiling.
Samantha is Earthbound - S8-E16
Revealing mistake: When Samantha, Darrin and Dr. Bombay are in the living room and walk as a group towards the television, you can see the crease in the carpet where the floor is going to collapse.
The Trial and Error of Aunt Clara - S3-E21
Continuity mistake: When Samantha opens the door, you can see the 3 pictures by the door. The middle picture is straight. When the camera cuts to Samantha and Aunt Clara and returns to Larry at the door, the middle picture is crooked... a necessary plot point to distract Larry from the desk in the stair case.
The Short, Happy Circuit of Aunt Clara - S3-E9
Other mistake: When Louise returns, when the cow is in the living room, she says Samantha has given her the "wrong jacket." When she leaves again, she takes the same green jacket with her.
Answer: Telstar was an early communications satellite system. Darrin, in a particularly sexist manner reflective of this era, is saying that telling a secret to a woman means it is guaranteed to be "broadcasted" to multiple people.
