A Vision of Sugar Plums - S1-E15
Visible crew/equipment: At the start, when Sam takes the tree out of her purse and places in on the carpet, her white tape mark is visible on the carpet beside her foot. (00:00:45)
Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: The telephone on the coffee table changes positions. Notice the cord.
The House that Uncle Arthur Built - S7-E18
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the pillow on the right side of the couch changes position.
Revealing mistake: When Samantha and Bombay are at the top of Mt. Everest, Samantha's shadow can be seen on the "sky" behind the rock revealing a blue backdrop.
Revealing mistake: When Endora goes to Darrin's workplace and puts the spell on him she appears to be floating. Look closely and you can see the wires holding her up.
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.
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.
