Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: After Erica shows Gargantua the window of Steigler's location, when the gorilla climbs up the building we can see the end of the hairy sleeves, and the human wrists/hands of the stuntman in the gorilla suit (then, on his way down we can see the end of his hairy pants at his ankle, as noted in another mistake). (00:12:40)

Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: When Gargantua has Steigler under his arm and is carrying him down the pipe, you can see the cuffs at the bottom of the pants legs on Gargantua, even though he's supposed to be a real gorilla and not wearing any pants. (00:15:27)

Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After the Nazis capture Steigler, while they're at the oil refinery Gargantua is in a cage behind them. When Erica blows the whistle, the gorilla reaches through the bars and grabs a large cardboard cutout of Wonder Woman, which was leaning against the wall, but the problem is that in the previous shots that cardboard cutout was not there.

Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: While the circus crowd is gathered around the cage with Gargantua, there's a closeup of the gorilla as he roars and we can see the stuntman's human teeth behind the gorilla's teeth. It happens again in Gargantua's closeup while he's climbing up to Steigler's window.

Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Gargantua slams Steigler into the desk, Steigler's body can barely be seen on top of the desk and looks like most of his body is behind the desk. However, when the MP enters the room, Steigler is shown to be on top of the desk and his whole body can be seen. Gargantua didn't move him and Steigler is unconscious.

Wonder Woman vs Gargantua - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Wonder Woman arrives at the warehouse where Steigler is being held, as she's using her lasso to scale the building the high heels on her boots have vanished, and they're now flats. This switch also occurs in previous shots, as well as at the start when Erica Belgard is disguised as Wonder Woman.

The Pluto File - S1-E8

Visible crew/equipment: When Diana and Steve meet with Dr. Barnes at the hospital, they stop in the corridor to discuss the guard's condition, and when they resume walking the actors' T-mark and two tape marks are visible on the floor, where they had been standing.

The Pluto File - S1-E8

Other mistake: This takes place in 1942, but modern 1970s era cars can be seen behind Wonder Woman and Steve when the attendants are loading Benson into the ambulance. Then again later, when The Falcon's partner creates a diversion and is being shot at by the guard.

Light-fingered Lady - S2-E13

Trivia: When Wonder Woman jumps over the fence, if you pause it for a split second, one can see the tip of a crew member's head. In the widescreen version, one can see the crew member and the lever he is pushing to allow for her jump.

Answer: The first actress, Cloris Leachman appeared in the TV movie which ended up being the pilot for the series. At the time, Leachman was already starring in her own TV series "Phyllis" (a spin off her role in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"). This was actually the 2nd TV movie meant to be a pilot and the first one wasn't picked up. It's likely she thought the show would be picked up. After season 1, in which Carolyn Jones played the role, ABC was slow to make a decision to pick up the series for season 2 and CBS picked up the series. When CBS picked up the series, they changed the time setting of the show and replaced all the actors, with the exception of Carter and Waggoner (with Waggoner playing a different role technically), resulting in Beatrice Straight being cast.

Answer: It is typical to recast non-regular cast members in a TV series, usually because they are no longer available or another actor was better suited for the part. Non-regular actors move on to other acting jobs during a series' run. Cloris Leachman, Carolyn Jones, and Beatrice Straight, who played Hippolyta, were well-known character actresses who were billed as "Guest Stars." Cloris Leachman was only in the show's pilot episode and was on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Carolyn Jones played Hippolyta during Season 2, then was cast in the TV mini-series "Roots." Beatrice Straight played Hippolyta in the final season.
