Visible crew/equipment: When Ralph keeps telling Coach Buck not to change his game plan, Ray doesn't listen and Ralph shouts that he's making a big mistake.

It's All Downhill From Here - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: While Ralph is invisible in order to eavesdrop on Klein, when Klein makes a crack about Bill being little league, Ralph deliberately knocks the cup in Klein's hand so the coffee spills on his shirt, tie, vest, and jacket in the closeup, but in the next shot Klein is spotless. Additionally, Klein has a black pocket square and the cup he holds is white styrofoam, but in the closeup the pocket square is gone and he holds a white mug. (00:27:50)

Who's Woo in America - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: At the rec center, when Ralph enters the reserved racquetball court two men force him onto the floor for another polygraph. Ralph's wearing striped socks, blue shorts with white stripes, a blue half-shirt with red/white stripes that bares his midriff, but in the closeups as Ralph sits down and has the polygraph hooked up, all the stripes on his clothing have vanished and Ralph's abdomen suddenly has a significant amount of dark hair.

It's All Downhill From Here - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: When the shooter is driving the snowplow and also later when Yuri defects, in some shots the driver's side lower window has "Squaw Valley" printed on it, but in other shots the window is clear. The shape of that lower window also changes. (00:12:00)

Now You See It... - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When the top secret airplane causes the light aircraft's loss of control, in the long shots the aircraft's tail is red/blue, but in the closeups it's brown/gold and the style differs. Also note the name "Beechcraft" has duct tape covering part of the name. (00:29:15)

Train of Thought - S2-E9

Revealing mistake: When Ralph stops the hijacked train before it reaches the city of Bakersfield, due to the close proximity of the camera it's too obvious that Ralph's footwear has been altered for the stunt, as he glides across the tracks. (00:44:30)

Train of Thought - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When the engineer shuts down the train he's wearing a long sleeve jacket, but in the closeup we see a bare arm wearing a watch. The terrorists remove that engineer and he's replaced with McGivers, another engineer wearing a jacket, and the same bare arm is in closeups. Then a third engineer on another train has the same arm in the closeup. (00:06:40)

The Lost Diablo - S2-E7

Visible crew/equipment: When Bill can't start the bus Ralph opens the hood and tells Bill the entire engine is gone, then as Ralph grumbles about what he'll tell the school board, the boom mic dips into view over Ralph, at the top of the screen. (00:33:50)
