Season 3 generally

Continuity mistake: Susan's house is burned down by Edie towards the end of season 2, but at the beginning of season 3 the house is exactly as is back to normal and as it was before the fire.

It Takes Two - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: While preparing for Bree's wedding, Susan is seen wearing full hair curlers for the entire day, yet on the day of the wedding, her hair is straight without a single curl.

Like It Was - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Bree is talking to Vera about Andrew and her husband, Vera is holding a nearly empty glass of tea. She then fills the glass to the top, but when she picks up the glass after doing so, it's nearly empty again.

Like It Was - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When we see a close up of Orson making a cup of Cappuccino, you can see the cup is filled with steamed-milk foam, but as the scene changes there is less foam in the cup than there was in the previous shot.

Nice She Ain't - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: During the dinner scene at the Van der Kamp's home, Danielle throws her plate against a wall, but when they pan back to her, the plate is still on the dinner table.

Nice She Ain't - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: When Julie is tutoring Austin, he takes out a beer can, drinks it, crushes it and puts it down on the desk. A couple of shots later when Julie stands up, the beer can has rotated itself slightly without Austin touching it.

Sweetheart, I Have to Confess - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: During the scene with Tom and Nora in the pizza parlour, a wine bottle and a glass are knocked over in an argument. When they pan back to the table as Nora is leaving, the full bottle and the glass are back on the table.

Bang - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Nora dies, Lynette stands up and strokes her hand over her chin, so a little blood stays on her chin. During the yelling scene of Lynette towards Carolyn, the blood on her chin changes constantly between shots.

Bang - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Carolyn shoots Lynette, Lynette is wearing high heels when she is originally shot. But when Lynette falls into Art's arms, she is wearing shoes without heels.

Children and Art - S3-E8

Other mistake: When Lynette and Tom are waiting for their kids at the bus stop, the bus that drops off their boys says "Briarcliff Academy." The boys actually go to Barcliff Academy.

Silly People - S2-E14

Carlos: You know who you are, Gaby? You're the kind of person who would have turned away Mary and Joseph from the inn.
Gabrielle: Well, they should have called ahead.
