Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: In pure movie fashion, a runner is chased by a big Sedan and she keeps on the road instead of swerving to the side and hide behind the many trees and posts. She does change lane at one point, though; when she does that, notice that in the closer view she is passing by a tree that is not next to a lamp post like in the wider angle. (00:02:15)

Billy Joe Bob - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, the titular character makes his way towards the club. He glances at the Ferrari parked there, its nose towards the club. A couple minutes later, Magnum drags him out of the club (no valets involved), and the Ferrari now is parked facing the opposite direction and with a total change of natural lights.

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?
