Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: When Hagatha puts her stethoscope on the table it disappears when the camera cuts away to Samantha and Endora. Then it reappears on the table.
The Trial and Error of Aunt Clara - S3-E21
Continuity mistake: When the coven is reading the case against Clara, the gavel is lying in the middle of Judge Bean's Bench. The camera cuts to Darrin then returns to the Coven, who is still reading their case against Clara. The gavel is suddenly on the wooden platform. There is no indication the gavel had been used as the coven is still reading their case against Clara.
The Short, Happy Circuit of Aunt Clara - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: When Clara is sitting on the couch, when Ocky comes, the green pillow behind her changes position between shots. It's lying flatter more toward the middle, then moves to more upright against the arm of the couch.
The Short, Happy Circuit of Aunt Clara - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: The piano that was in the living room (when Clara zaps it/reduces it/blunders/returns to original size) is gone when Darrin, Samantha, Larry and boozing client return to the house shortly afterwards.
Continuity mistake: When Aunt Clara is in the kitchen with Tabitha, when Tabitha knocks off her plate then the unicorn, there is nothing on her high chair tray. When Tabitha twitches the pot and spoon over, there's suddenly a Graham Cracker on her tray where the spoon lands.
Continuity mistake: In the final scene, when Darrin flips up the picture of Endora, when the camera cuts back onto the frame, it's color.
Revealing mistake: When Aunt Clara "parachutes" in the background is not the neighborhood background shown throughout series with Kravitz across the street...and no pine forest. It's obvious a stage background.
A Most Unusual Wood Nymph - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Samantha gets up off the couch to confront the wood nymph, the pillow on the couch, on the left side of the screen, is laying flat. When they move back in front of the couch when Endora arrives, the pillow is standing up against the armrest.
Samantha Meets the Folks - S1-E14
Visible crew/equipment: When Aunt Clara's satchel and umbrella are "floating" up the stairs the shadow of the boom pole making the magic is visible above the Menorah at the top of the wall.
Samantha's Witchcraft Blows a Fuse - S8-E25
Revealing mistake: When the officers pull away, the shadow of the car is visible on the painted backdrop of trees. This isn't the neighborhood of Morning Glory Circle with the Kravitz House across the street. The shadow reveals it's a stage backdrop. Further, this is basically the same as Allergic to the Macedonian DoDo Bird from Season 3, with the same DoDo Bird costume.
George Washington Zapped Here (2) - S8-E22
Continuity mistake: The front door which is usually green is now white.
Other mistake: In the opening scene, Endora disappears then reappears for Tabitha. If you watch closely, just before she reappears you can see the shadow of Agnes Morehead/Endora on the wall behind the couch quickly coming back to the couch for the camera cut to recapture her.
Revealing mistake: The series is supposed to take place in Westport, CT. Westport, CT doesn't have palm trees or the California mountains. Several shots outside of the house reveal the mountains and palm trees are when driving in several episodes.
Samantha's Witchcraft Blows a Fuse - S8-E25
Continuity mistake: The hole (square cut out) is visible in the carpet before they fall through. Also, when Dr. Bombay "cures" Samantha and she floats, the hole in the floor beside the couch is gone. Dr. Bombay fixed the floor in the next shot (when asked). The floor without the hole is visible when Dam floats up and when Darrin and Bombay walk over to her.
Samantha's Thanksgiving to Remember - S4-E12
Factual error: I noticed a grandfather clock when they all arrived in Plymouth (in the right corner). I won't assume this is the first Thanksgiving since the colony is built up and seems established. Plymouth was from 1620-1690s. I had to research but apparently there would not have been an ornate grandfather clock available. The first clocks were built around the time but were not common - especially in an American colony like Plymouth struggling to survive.
Birdies, Bogies, and Baxter - S4-E7
Other mistake: In the scene at the end where Baxter is saying "You learn something about how you take defeat, I never thought I would be learning something about myself" the background behind Baxter doesn't match the background when the shot is a wide shot showing the out door course, trees and buildings. Instead it looks like a painted backdrop perhaps filmed separately for the closeup. It's definitely not where Baxter is standing in wide shot.
Naming Samantha's New Baby - S6-E6
Factual error: When Mr. and Mrs. Stephens are driving in the convertible. In second shot, there are at least 2 tall palm trees along the road. Morning Glory Circle is supposed to be a NY town. There are no palm trees growing in NY. It's obviously shot along a CA road.
It's So Nice to Have a Spouse Around the House - S5-E5
Continuity mistake: Samantha removes a spell cast by some other witch; it's a series plot point in many episodes that Samantha cannot undo someone else's spells.
A Most Unusual Wood Nymph - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Samantha goes back to the 15th century, Geri O'Toole is wearing a yellow dress. When Samantha pops back home, Darrin is wearing Thea Ames hit but Geri is wearing a pink dress. It all happened the same afternoon/evening. Geo should still be wearing the same yellow dress.
Humbug Not to Be Spoken Here - S4-E16
Other mistake: In the previous episode, I've Got Your Nanny Right Here, Samantha tells Darrin "nobody travels by broom stick anymore. It's obsolete." She takes Mr. Mortimore to North Pole by broomstick.
Answer: The original diamond and white gold heart necklace was given to Elizabeth Montgomery by her then real-life husband, William Asher, who also directed the show. She wore it in nearly every early episode. When the necklace was lost or stolen about mid-way through the series, Montgomery had two replicas made from rhinestones. She wore either one of those for the rest of the show's run.
