Revealing mistake: Darrin casts a shadow revealing painted sky background when he goes out to pay cab. Later, when he goes out to get in helicopter the neighborhood is not the neighborhood we normally see outside the Stevens' house. There's an Amoco gas station across the street.
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.
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.
Samantha is Earthbound - S8-E16
Revealing mistake: When Samantha is in the tree at the party, you can see the reflection of the branch against the "sky" revealing blue painted sky.
Continuity mistake: In Tabitha's room in an early scene, Tabitha for some reason is in her play pen in her bedroom rather than her crib as usual. Later, the crib is back when Darrin is securing her toys in the locked toy chest.
A Plague on Maurice and Samantha - S8-E9
Continuity mistake: Samantha's illness is contagious and passed to Maurice from a kiss; when Samantha kisses the apothecary, he should have lost his powers also.
Samantha's Wedding Present - S5-E1
Other mistake: When Darrin is first shrunk we see that his clothes are unaffected by Endora's spell (they don't shrink). So, when he was popped back to normal heights, his clothes shouldn't be affected, and he would burst out of them. We already know his suit changed colors.
Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things - S3-E3
Other mistake: The exterior scene when Clara parachutes in is not the real outside we see throughout the show with neighbors including the Kravitz across the street and fewer trees...and no pine forest. Also, it's obvious Marion Lorne, who was about 80 at the time, was sitting on a swing like apparatus being lowered... understandably.
Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things - S3-E3
Visible crew/equipment: In the opening scene, when Samantha goes into hallway, you can see a visible equipment shadow on the wall to the right behind Samantha. When it cuts away then returns, the shadow is gone.
Samantha is Earthbound - S8-E16
Other mistake: This episode is a repeat of Season 4 No Zip in My Zap with the better Darrin 1. Since Samantha previously became earthbound for not practicing her normal, day to day, witchcraft. They would know why Sam is again earthbound. And, Samantha constantly uses her witchcraft.
Hansel and Gretel in Samanthaland - S8-E10
Continuity mistake: In 1-7 The Witches Are Out, Bertha (later Hagatha) is talking to Mary, and they say that Hansel and Gretel are 2 naughty children who go around eating the nice witch's house. In this episode, the witch is a "traditional" bad witch.
Continuity mistake: Uncle Arthur telling Darrin that a charm that he is being given is going to protect him. However, his pistol has managed to go right through Darrin and into the wall in the background. Then, the next frame, the shots are on his pocket. (00:10:22 - 00:11:00)
Hippie, Hippie, Hooray - S4-E21
Plot hole: Why would Serena need Samantha to zap her out of jail? Serena is a witch and very tricky.
Samantha Goes South for a Spell - S5-E2
Other mistake: Serena tells Darrin that Samantha won't know him back in the 19th century New Orleans because she hadn't been born yet. In Aunt Clara's Victoria Victory, we know Samantha was alive in the 19th century because she and Endora were "in Tibet at the time."
Samantha Goes South for a Spell - S5-E2
Other mistake: Darrin doesn't recognise Serena posing as Samantha. We know from "That Was No Chick, That Was My Wife" that he can tell the difference. This happens in several episodes.
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.
