It's Not Easy Being Green - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: When Hank, Dale & Bill go to the quarry to get the car, they use a tow truck to try and pull it up. If you look at the tow truck you can see it is a red color. Later on when the protesters come and are sitting in a circle and singing the tow truck is now orange. It stays orange for the rest of the scene.

When Cotton Comes Marching Home - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: Before Topsy (Cotton's friend) & Cotton tie up the restaurant manager there is a quick shot that shows the sign on the door for the men's room. It has the symbol on it for disability access. However in one of the previous shots when Cotton tries to leave the restaurant the sign is the same but there was no wheelchair accessible symbol.

Chasing Bobby - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: The entire episode is about Hank being very attached to his current truck, and refusing to purchase a new one (until he has no choice). But in S4 E23 Hank tells Peggy "You know how much I want a new truck."

Hank's Choice - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When we see Bobby talking to Hank about the allergy test there are lots of black marks (dots for the allergy test) on Bobby's back and one red circle around one of them. As Hank is looking at them there is a shot from behind Bobby and the red circle has gone.

I Don't Want to Wait - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: When Bobby runs after Connie, (just before she gets in the truck with Joseph) you can see the front door of the Hill's house is open to the left. Even though in the shot before Connie runs out (and every other episode) the door opens to the right.

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Peggy and Hank are looking the mirror, as Peggy says "We look like a couple of movie stars", her hair is its normal reddish-brown color, but her reflection in the mirror has lighter, more dull brown hair.

Ho Yeah! - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: As Cotton is trying to guess where he has seen Tammy before, you can see Tammy has one wristband on her right hand. In the next shot she now has two wristbands on that hand. After this shot it returns back to just one wristband.

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Character mistake: Hank seems surprised to learn a lot of the Alamo's defenders weren't from Texas. Given that kids study this in American history, especially Davy Crockett's role in the historic event, it seems unlikely he'd be ignorant about this.

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Character mistake: Hank says that his parents haven't spoken in four years. However, Cotton and Tilly were both at the Hill home in the episode "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men" (Season 3). Cotton bullied Tilly on that occasion. And four years has not passed in between those episodes, or else Bobby would be a high school student.

Hank and the Great Glass Elevator - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: After the banquet dinner where Bill sees Lenore, she comes to visit him at home. They are sitting down on the couch and when she's talking she has her hand on his chest and you can see there is a pen in Bill's right shirt pocket. Between shots she talks about stealing Bill away at the prom and in one quick shot the pen disappears and the next shot it returns. Also look at Lenore's hand in this scene. It goes from being next to his chest, away from his chest back to being on his chest.

Hank's Choice - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Peggy says that Bobby could have invited her and Hank to the dog house, Hank says that they wouldn't have been able to fit in the door, but he went in and out of it earlier while fixing up the doghouse. At the end of the episode, Peggy is inside the doghouse with a student she is tutoring.

The Wedding of Bobby Hill - S3-E14

Trivia: During Hanks's conversation with Bobby when he tells him that he will have to marry Luanne, look at the shelf behind Bobby. There is a Bart Simpson doll there. A few years before this was featured the Hill family was in the crowd at one of the pee wee football games in the Simpsons episode "Bart Star".
