The Monkees

Find the Monkees (a.k.a. The Audition) - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Trying to get away from the Monkees, television producer Hubbell Benson enters an elevator on the first floor. After a quick cut, Benson is shown exiting the elevator on the third floor. A potted plant and a "3rd Floor" sign were added to the scene but it is obvious the elevator is still on the first floor. A large ash tray appears in both shots and its contents are unchanged.

The Prince and the Paupers - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: When the Monkees (excluding David) and Ludlow come out of the cupboard that they hid in when Wendy Forsythe came to visit, you can see some items in there on shelves and neatly stacked. When David (as Ludlow) and Michael accidentally open the door a bit later (thinking they're going into a different room), they get covered in the items as soon as they open the door. Plus some of the items that fall on them were not even in there before.

Peter: Oh no, foot prints! Someone else is on this island.
Micky: Oh don't worry, those are ours, we don't have a larger set so we had to use the same one twice.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Kidnappers - S1-E4

Question: When the Monkees are locked in the downstairs bedroom and they are planning to escape, where does Mick get the lab coat and the chemical bottle from which he plans to use to scare the evil people into letting them all leave?

Answer: The Monkees TV series was very much a fantasy (this was the "groovy" psychedelic 60s, after all). Impossible things, such as items appearing out of nowhere, happened on their show without explanation all the time.
