Continuity mistake: During the episode when Claire and Phil do their warm-up before racing each other, their children Alex and Luke arrive from school. They get down from the car, and the car takes off and goes away. But in the 2nd shot we can see that same car parked in front of them. (00:17:00)
Continuity mistake: You see Phil take the coffee mug from the roof of the car and then he goes inside the car. A few seconds later it's back on top, then a few seconds after that it's gone again. (00:15:30)
Phil on Wire - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: In 1-20 "Benched", Phil specifically states he knows how to walk a tightrope because he went to trapeze camp. But in this episode, he learns how to walk a tightrope.
Continuity mistake: In the scene when Cameron and Mitchell are arguing about Cameron's clowning career, Cameron is unpacking soft toys from a large paper bag. Cameron unpacks a hot dog soft toy twice from the bag, when the camera cuts from Cameron to Mitchell and back to Cameron. (00:13:00)
Don't Push - S6-E2
Continuity mistake: While trying to take a new Family Portrait, after Cameron, Mitchell, and Lily shake out their faces, say cheese and take another photo, Cameron goes to look at the laptop screen and there's a closeup of that newest photo, but when he tells Mitchell to look at the screen it's a different photo - note Lily's goofy eyes, etc.
Boys' Night - S2-E18
Other mistake: In the opening scene, the Dunphys are playing ball in their backyard when Claire knocks it into their crotchety old neighbour's yard. They all head in, and as Phil explains to Luke that it's because it's their only ball, another ball is in the grass visible over Luke's shoulder.
Character mistake: Hayley is on the phone in the car with Alex and she's holding her phone upside down.

Do You Believe in Magic - S8-E12

Visible crew/equipment: While Phil and Claire are warming up for their race, Alex and Luke are getting dropped off. When you see them walking towards Phil and Claire you can see a crew member with equipment behind the bushes at the right side of the screen. (00:17:05)
Haley's 21st Birthday - S6-E10
Plot hole: The family mistakenly believes Hayley will be having her first drink. However, there were several instances in earlier episodes where they saw her drinking or drunk, or she admitted she'd been drinking. For example, in the episode "Arrested", the family drove down to bail her out of jail for underage drinking, and they saw the video footage, and the family members who didn't go were informed of the situation.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Dylan visits Haley at home, when Claire grabs Dylan as he's going up the stairs you can see a member of the crew (probably the man holding the mic) in the mirror in the background behind Claire. (00:10:40)
Phil on Wire - S3-E3
Other mistake: When Cameron follows Mitchell into the sea, Cameron's shirt is visibly wet even though he is in a very shallow area of water. After cutting back to Cameron, the wet mark on his shirt has gotten bigger and traveled further up his shirt even though there are no significantly large waves that could have caused him to become so wet.
Continuity mistake: Pepper states in this episode that he doesn't have any kids, but in 4-14 "A Slight at the Opera" he talks about a son he has who is a Navy Seal.
Continuity mistake: In the scene before Jay hits Phil in the face with the plane, the remote control's antenna (the one he is using to fly the plane) switches between the 'forward' and 'up' positions. (00:10:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When Manny holds up the Phantom mask to Jay's face and realises it's for the wrong side, as Manny rushes back upstairs for a lefty, the reflections of the Steadicam operator and crew are visible on the minivan's surface, beside Gloria. (00:14:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When Haley walks into the kitchen she tells Dylan they're over and hangs up on him. Then when Haley's cell rings, as the camera quickly pans around, the pink T-mark becomes visible on the floor behind Haley. (00:04:35)
Continuity mistake: Mitch and Cam are eating breakfast and Cam only fills Mitch's wine glass. As the camera view goes back and forth a few times it keeps switching to show Cam's glass full then empty and so on. (00:08:30 - 00:09:30)
Continuity mistake: Claire takes some cookies out of the oven and puts them on a cooling rack. When Manny asks her what the matter is with Claire, she holds still while she's about to put down the second cookie in the top row. When the camera cuts to a different angle there are suddenly three cookies in the row already. (00:12:05)
Continuity mistake: When Phil tries to get his bike down he falls over. A lot of stuff falls from the shelves behind him, when Claire asks if he is okay and Phil answers "Yes I am" you see that the shelves behind him are a mess. But the next shot you see that all the stuff is cleaned up again. In the next few shots the background changes all the time. (00:01:00)
Chosen answer: There was a plain wall at the foot of the stairs in the pilot episode. Thereafter, there is a room, but we have never been shown what's in the room.
