Two and a Half Men

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When anyone goes to Alan's room in Charlie's house, they always exit/enter from the left of the room entrance (when they exit the go left and up the hall then make another left). This doesn't match the floor plan of the beach house though, as the living room has been shown to be more straight out of the room.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Alan first meets Rose, she eventually says "He (Charlie) has a very musky scent" with her head turning to look at Alan. When the camera cuts to Alan, he says "uh huh" and Rose is all of a sudden looking straight ahead. (00:10:40)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: While Alan's sitting on the couch, Evelyn's talking to Alan "helping...through a very difficult time," and in the shots facing Alan all of the books on the table behind him, and also the books on the couch's side table keep changing - not just their position, all the books actually become different books. Additionally, in the shots facing Charlie, the books beside the chair and the books/CDs/DVDs on the bookcase change as well.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: While Evelyn is at Charlie's asking Alan if he's considered that there may be another man at Judith's "shacking up with her," Evelyn is wearing a blue 2-piece skirt suit, but in Charlie's close-up Evelyn's wearing a white suit with a red floral pattern when she's standing in front of Charlie, at the left side of the screen. (In the original pilot Evelyn is played by Blythe Danner wearing the floral suit, but she had to back out and was replaced by Holland Taylor, who's wearing the blue suit).

I Can't Afford Hyenas - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: After Berta tells Charlie he owes her $74 for groceries, she walks to the table and says 'funny story' with Charlie facing the coffee machine with his head facing towards it. When the camera cuts to another angle, Charlies head is all of a sudden in a different position with no time to have made the move. (00:01:50)

Go Get Mommy's Bra - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Alan throws a bra onto the floor after Charlie tells him whose bra it is, which lands touching a rug. Alan goes to pick it up and the bra has not only moved away from the rug but it is also lying in a different position. (00:12:00 - 00:12:40)

Go Get Mommy's Bra - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode Alan says, "Well the point is you brought Jake into the relationship too soon." Just before he says that Judith's left arm is laying over her right and in the next shot her right is over her left.

Go Get Mommy's Bra - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: During this whole episode, Jake calls his mother's boyfriend Greg. But in the 4th season when Judith is marrying the guy, he is called Herb. We know that it is not two different people because they both have the last name Melneck, and they are both Jake's pediatrician.

Suggested correction: Greg was the guy with the boat. I don't think they ever said his last name. Herb is the Dr. Two different people at two different times in the show.

The mistake is correct. The character of Judith's then boyfriend, and then eventual husband and then ex-husband, was named Greg Melnick (played by Ryan Stiles) in season 2. He actually first appeared in s02e02, "Enjoy Those Garlic Balls." Later, when he became a reoccurring character, his name was changed in the show to Herb. Although one could argue Greg was his middle name the whole time. There was another character named Greg in season 4.

Bishop73

This is correct. Although it's never referenced once his name has changed to Herb, about having a boat.

Bad News from the Clinic - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning, Alan and Charlie are at the table talking about the woman Charlie is seeing. When Alan asks "at a leisurely pace or if you were developmentally challenged?", Alan is picking up a glass about to take a drink. In the next cut from behind Alan, he is now eating a fry. After Charlie says "Aren't you clever? Bite me", Alan has the glass back in his hand.

Yes, Monsignor - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Alan is sitting at the kitchen table talking to his son Jake about a math test on which Jake got a bad grade. At the beginning of the scene Alan holds the open test in his left hand. When the camera switches back to him a second later the test is now in his right hand. Finally at the end of the scene the test is back in his left hand but is now folded. (00:04:50)

Twanging Your Magic Clanger - S8-E6

Go Get Mommy's Bra - S2-E4

Question: So after they find the bra, both men assume that it was left there after a sexual encounter. Women change their clothes in cars all the time. And since Alan usually avoids sexual topics, wouldn't he at least have assumed that it was just left there? After all, when you are dressing after sex you should notice a bra missing; not so much if you were just changing your clothes.

swamphawk

Chosen answer: Alan might have thought the bra was too fancy to belong to a regular woman, "I'd love to meet the girl who filled this", he says. He assumed it was one of Charlie's many women.
