Quoth the Raven - S2-E37

Factual error: While Edgar Allan Poe is penning his famous poem, a close-up of the paper shows us that he's misspelled his own middle name as "Allen." (00:00:50)

Jean G

House - with Ghost - S2-E26

Factual error: Ellis trots up the stairs with his wife's dinner, shaking and bouncing the tray all the way. But when he arrives, the liquid in the tray's very full glass of milk hasn't spilled a single drop. (00:14:30)

Jean G

The Messiah on Mott Street - S2-E38

Plot hole: No one in Goldman's house finds it at all strange that a mailman arrives at the door with a letter after midnight on Christmas Eve. Nor, a short time later, does the doctor or anyone else passing by at this very odd hour wonder why the same mailman is collecting mail from a street box at dawn on Christmas Day.

Cool Air - S2-E35

Factual error: Muñoz's name is misspelled on his headstone as "Dr. Juan Munos," omitting the tilde and changing the z to an s. (00:02:15)

Cool Air - S2-E35

Visible crew/equipment: In the 1920s, Agatha takes a taxi to Muñoz's house. In the background, through the taxi's rear window, you can see a large white 1970s Universal Studios panel truck being loaded next to another building on the back lot. (00:02:45)

Dr. Stringfellow's Rejuvenator - S2-E28

Continuity mistake: In the saloon, Stringfellow pours himself a drink and picks up his glass. When the camera angle reverses, his glass is back on the table and his hand is on the bottle instead. In the next shot, he's holding the glass again. (00:11:30)

Jean G

Cool Air - S2-E35

Continuity mistake: During Juan and Agatha's dinner together, the camera circles them, passing behind Juan (where an "invisible" cut occurs) and continuing to move left around the table. Between the two segments, the position of Agatha's hands changes noticeably. (00:11:50)

Jean G

Cool Air - S2-E35

Continuity mistake: While she talks to Mrs. Gibbons on the stairs, Agatha's paper sack changes its position and appearance several times between shots. (00:16:15)

Jean G

The Waiting Room - S2-E51

Continuity mistake: It's the 1800s, and Dicter rides up to a building that has every window, upstairs and down, blazing with what is obviously electric light. When he walks into the ground floor saloon, however, there are no bright lights. It's dark and dim inside. (00:03:00)

Jean G

Logoda's Heads - S2-E42

Continuity mistake: As Kyra is leaving the village, Logoda's fang necklace, in close-up, has two of its teeth flipped over and out of alignment with the rest. In full shot, though, all the teeth are back in perfect order. (00:09:10)

Rod Serling: For those of you who've never met me, you might call me the under-nourished Alfred Hitchcock.

Camera Obscura - S2-E36

Trivia: The closing scenes were shot through green-gold filters to give the streets a drab, hellish appearance. An appalled film lab technician tried to dye the sequence pink, and defied the director's order to "leave it green." NBC, the lab tech argued, would never accept those scenes because this was supposed to be color television. After demanding several re-dos, the director won the shouting match, the green prevailed, and NBC, apparently, never noticed.
