A Room with a Rack - S2-E21

Mainly on the Plains - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: While they sit side-by-side on the park bench, Don Silvando places his hand on Kelly's shoulder. The camera angle reverses, and Silvando's hand is immediately in his lap - and Kelly's shoulder, which should still be in frame, has disappeared. (00:07:40)

Night Train to Madrid - S2-E26

Continuity mistake: In the opening train compartment scene, two consecutive shots don't match. In the first, Scott is sitting back with both hands in his lap. In the next, he's suddenly leaning forward and has one hand on his cheek. (00:07:10)

This Guy Smith - S3-E18

Visible crew/equipment: As Kelly is getting dressed in the hospital room, someone's shadow strolls across the floor in front of him. Scott is standing still, and no one else is there, so the shadow must belong to a film crew member. (00:13:35)

Happy Birthday... Everybody - S3-E20

Plot hole: After a chance meeting in Mexico, Tom Matthews invites Kelly and Scott to his home for dinner. The address is unlisted, neither knows where the other lives or is staying, and no address or phone information is exchanged before they part. But Kelly and Scott somehow find the house anyway.
