Mr. Green explains that he's getting ready for the annual meat sale, and as Harold begs to keep working in the store, we can see in the background that the store's green front door has vanished. The open green front door is back when Harold exits the store. (00:19:05)

Helga Blabs It All / Harold the Butcher - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Helga Blabs It All: While Helga goes after the tape at Sunset Arms, room numbers repeatedly change/vanish, or doors disappear and reappear. Some examples: Door 3 vanishes when Helga lowers herself via rope the first time. When Arnold unfolds the attic stairway, the closest doors are 7 and 8, but when Arnold and Gerald run down those stairs, door 8 changes to door 1. When Grandpa talks to Mr. Hyunh, door 1 is now door 3. When Grandpa and Ernie enter Hyunh's room, door 7 becomes door 5. When Grandma exits door 4, it then changes to door 2.

Downtown as Fruits / Eugene's Bike - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In the Eugene's Bike episode, when Arnold has to tie his shoe, he sets his books down on a bike in a bike rack. This causes the bike to tip over and makes all the other bikes in the rack to fall down. Eugene's bike falls into the middle of the street and get ran over. When Eugene finds out his bike is destroyed, he looks at Arnold and yells. Right after this you get a good look at the bike rack. You'll notice there are no bikes in or around the bike rack.
Ghost Bride/Gearold VS Jameo - S5-E25
Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are running from the second ghost bride, they go into a crypt and close the doors. One of the kids puts a shovel through the handles to keep it shut. In the next shot, it's gone. In the shot after that it's back.
Continuity mistake: Harold's age is inconsistent throughout the series. Harold has his Bar Mitzvah in "Harold's Bar Mitzvah", establishing that he is 13 years old, and in "Hey Harold!", he tells Patty that he was held back a couple years, which is why he is still in fourth grade. However, in "Helga on the Couch", he is shown in the same preschool class as the other kids, and in "The Journal", he is shown playing in the park with the other kids, and he is a baby just like all of them.
Suggested correction: It's possible that Harold wasn't the only student held back, even though he's older than his classmates. Just a thought.
So? How does that justify him being in the same preschool class as the other kids?
He was probably held back in preschool but was not mentioned.
Fair enough, but he is also in "The Journal" which took place before the kids were in preschool. He is shown playing with the other kids as a baby, and there is no sign of an age difference, even though he is supposed to be 4 years older than them at most. All the other main kid characters are around 9 years old in the fourth grade. It's highly unlikely that Harold would be around those kids as a baby.
Beaned / Old Iron Man - S5-E11
Continuity mistake: When Arnold reads to Helga, the book title says "GEO-" and "GRAPHY" (two words); the next day, it says "GEOGRAPHY" (one word).
Continuity mistake: In "Miss Perfect", Helga, Rhonda, Sheena, Phoebe, and Nadine are cooking up ways to make Lila's (the new girl) life miserable. In one shot, Rhonda is wearing her new blue outfit. When the scene cuts to the boys and Lila, and then back to the five girls, Rhonda is wearing her standard red sweater and black pants. For the rest of that day, she is back in her new outfit.
The Aptitude Test / Oskar Gets a Job - S3-E9
Continuity mistake: In "Oscar Gets a Job", Oscar goes around asking people for money. When he talks to Ernie, you can see that there is a phone and a light to the right of the door. When Arnold confronts Oscar in the hall, you can see Ernie's room (7). The phone has disappeared.
