Continuity mistake: About 20 minutes in, Barney knocks the announcement bell off the door trying to sneak out of the pharmacy, Andy comes in one minute later and the bell rings when he opens the door. You can see the bell swinging above the door.
Continuity mistake: Otis is in the jail and can't sleep. He ask Andy for some water. Andy gets up, unlocks the door and then closes it again (clearly leaving the key in the lock). He comes back a few seconds later and the key is gone and back on the wall. (00:05:05)
Barney Hosts a Summit Meeting - S8-E21
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the meeting participants are in the kitchen, the Russian guy opens the icebox, does not close it, and sits at the table. When Aunt Bee comes in immediately thereafter, the door is closed. She opens it again and partially closes it; but in the next shot, it is fully open.
Suggested correction: The first part of the mistake is correct. However, after Aunt Bee partially closes it, if you keep your eyes on the left side of the screen where the ice box is and watch carefully, you can see the ice box actually bounces back open fully on its own.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Barney and Andy are sitting inside a 1964 Ford patrol car. When they are shown up close inside, you can tell it is not the likeness of the same car. The back glass windows look more like a 1960 model possibly. It is definitely not a 1964.
Continuity mistake: When Andy's talking to Gomer through the window while Gomer's holding the pail, in the shots facing Andy the pail's handle is facing out, but in shots facing Gomer the handle is facing the opposite way.
Continuity mistake: In the exterior shots of the bank's doors there are rectangular door knob backplates on the outside of the door, but in the interior shots when the door's open we can see the door knob's backplate is narrower and has a decorative top.
Andy and Opie, Housekeepers - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: Andy is sitting on the couch, next to him on the end table is a glass and what appears to be a dark bottle like a beer bottle. They cut away, when they return to Andy on the couch the glass and the dark bottle have disappeared.
Continuity mistake: When Opie shows Andy his arm with the chore list written on it, Andy uses his right hand to hold up Opie's arm, but in the closeup it's Andy's left hand holding up Opie's arm. (00:03:50)
The Statue - S7-E23
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Aunt Bee concludes the reading of the minutes and mentions the improvement fund, she's holding the blue folder up in her hands with its notepapers inside, but in the next shot one of the notepapers is suddenly flipped over the top of the folder. (00:23:45)
Aunt Bee's Restaurant - S7-E21
Continuity mistake: While Jack is trying to help Aunt Bee understand her fear, in a few of the closeups of Aunt Bee and Andy (seated on the couch) note the fruit bowl has moved and the candlesticks have vanished from the server, the large figurine on the left side of the hutch has vanished, and the flowers from the table have also disappeared. Then everything is back in their place. (00:21:10)
Continuity mistake: When Helen and Howard are talking about the lack of funds for the school play Andy comes up with a solution, and as Helen walks up the street there's a brick wall adjacent to the grocery store window which shouldn't be there (shot on the studio soundstage not the backlot). (00:07:05)
Continuity mistake: When Aunt Bee and Opie drive up to Wally's station to get gas, the car's vent windows are either open or closed depending on the angle of the shot. (00:06:05)
Continuity mistake: During the baseball game, when Opie slides into homeplate we can see the concrete mixer truck in the background beside the building, but when Helen shows Aunt Bee the photo she took of Opie the truck is gone. (00:09:40 - 00:23:25)
Continuity mistake: When Goober and Warren are at the diner, things on the counter keep switching places while Goober eats his peanut butter, tuna, and ketchup sandwich. (00:09:00)
The Bazaar - S6-E5
Continuity mistake: After Goober complains to Andy about Warren it cuts to Warren walking down the street, and when he moves the bucket of corn in front of the grocery store, the window display and the taped signs change/vanish between shots. (00:02:05)
Malcolm at the Crossroads - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: At the start, Andy walks down the street and stops at the church steps to watch Ernest T. being a crossing guard, but when it cuts to the shot of Ernest T. we see the church steps yet Andy's gone, then when it cuts back to Andy he's still standing by the church steps.
Continuity mistake: After Clara cancels lunch with Aunt Bee, when Bee walks over to the table there are two candle holders on the server and a large picture surrounded by four small pictures hanging over the server. However, when Opie runs to the table, the left candle holder and bottom left small picture are both gone in his closeups. (00:19:40)
Malcolm at the Crossroads - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: When Andy rushes up to Ernest T. and tells him to quit throwing rocks at the car, Ernest T. holds the crossing guard sign with his left hand and points at it with his right hand, but in the closeup it's vice versa. (00:01:00)

Continuity mistake: When Aunt Bee walks by Floyd's shop the barber's pole is missing, but when Opie and Billy run across the street there's a red/white striped barber's pole, then when Andy walks by Floyd's shop the barber's pole has red/white/blue stripes.
