Glee

Show generally

Deliberate mistake: Many times throughout the show, a large bandage or makeup blot is visible on Lea Michele's right wrist, which is used to cover up her "I Believe" tattoo. This is most visible during "Don't Rain On My Parade" and her "Poker Face" and "For Good" duets.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During "Don't Stop Believing" at the line "He took the midnight train going anywhere," Rachel extends her hand with her palm facing the floor. In the next shot, it instantly changes to her palm facing the seats of the auditorium. (Timecode listed for the director's cut of the episode.) (00:44:00)

Acafellas - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Mercedes is singing "Bust Your Windows", the blue rags on Kurt's car behind her change position several times. Also, Kurt is at first looking up at the hole in his windshield, then has his head down on the hood, and then is looking up at the hole again, over a series of 3 or 4 shots.

New York - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode when Kurt and Blaine are sat in the Lima Bean, the position of Blaine's hand where it props up his face changes. Whenever we see Blaine from the front, his fingers are curved slightly, but when we see Kurt (and the back of Blaine's head), his fingers are held straight so they do not interfere with the shot.

The Power of Madonna - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: In "The Power of Madonna", during the Cheerios stilts routine, as the people on stilts lift one leg one after the other, they are in a V shape, and there are both girls and boys on stilts. Yet in the very next shot, as the people on stilts swing the other Cheerios around, there are only 3 Cheerios, all guys, on stilts, and they are in a straight line.

Laryngitis - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: During "Laryngitis", Puck pulls Mercedes up to come sing "Lady is a Tramp" with him. Yet in the very next shot, just as she starts singing, she stands up again. So she stood up twice.

Audition - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: While Will is holding Quinn to prevent her from attacking Santana after their fight, as Santana walks away, in one shot Quinn has her body is towards Will's: in the next, she's suddenly turned around and her body is now the other way. (00:29:50)

The Rhodes Not Taken - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During "Last Name", just as April is singing "We left the club," she backs up into Kurt in the wide shot, yet during the very next shot she is still a couple of feet away from him.

Never Been Kissed - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: While the Warblers are singing "Teenage Dream", during the closeups of Kurt, his bag's strap is under his jacket's lapel, but in the long shots, it's on top of the lapel.

Ballad - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Kurt goes to sit down and play the piano for Finn, he is wearing cream coloured pants. Yet in the closeup shot of his hands, he is wearing jeans.

Showmance - S1-E2

Will: My father always said you'd become a man when you bought your first house. I'm not sure what he meant though, because he burned ours down during a drunken fight with mom.
