Family Ties - S4-E17
Revealing mistake: When Quicksilver is fidgeting inside his containment shell, the animators neglected to properly sync his body movement. You can see that his shoulders are not "connected" to his arms, as if his head and shoulders were separated from the rest of his body. (00:16:00)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: When the mutated Wolverine picks up and throws Xavier, before Beast comes to aid him there is nothing immediately around Xavier but the ground. When the shot changes, Xavier and Beast are suddenly next to a cliff wall. (00:17:55)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: At various points in the episode, the High Evolutionary's "teeth" go from being white to being the same purple color as his face. (00:05:45 - 00:13:40)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: After Magneto and Wolverine have been captured, when Wolverine is asking Magneto what is going on, the perspective of the shot makes it look like Magneto is looking down on Wolverine from a considerably taller height when they are both standing on a level floor. Additionally, the square slabs that make up the floor become smaller. (00:12:35)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: For the first half of this episode, Magneto is wearing a red dress-shirt with a black tie under a dark gray trenchcoat. After he is captured by the High Evolutionary, he is suddenly wearing his usual red and purple costume. Even if Magneto brought a change of clothes with him, it's extremely unlikely that the High Evolutionary would change his clothes for him. (00:03:40 - 00:12:40)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: The style of the lettering on Magda's gravestone changes after the goat-woman runs away from Magneto. There is also a stone that was next to the grave when it is first shown that has suddenly disappeared in the same shot of the goat-woman running away. (00:09:10 - 00:09:45)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: Quicksilver's neck is colored the same light-blue hue as his uniform when he says "The mutant who did this..." (00:07:45)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: When Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver first meet the High Evolutionary, Scarlet Witch's headgear alternates between being red and pink. (00:05:55)
Family Ties - S4-E17
Continuity mistake: When Bova is bringing the baby twins to Django and Marya's house, the arm she is carrying the respective twin in changes depending on the shot. When she is first shown walking towards the house, she is holding Wanda in her left arm and Pietro in her right. When she is walking up the steps to the door, she is carrying Pietro in her left arm and Wanda in her right. When the shot changes after Django opens the door, the twins have switched arms again, and then again when she hands the babies to Django and Marya. (00:02:30)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
