Seinfeld

The Hot Tub - S7-E5

Deliberate mistake: When Elaine comes home and doesn't find Sean Paul there, she runs to her neighbour across The Apartment. The neighbour opens the door and stands outside it then the door slowly closes behind him. Suddenly, the door opens again with a swoosh without anyone being there. Because the camera switches angle right after this, it is apparent it was opened to gain this shot or to at least permit it continuity wise. (00:16:40 - 00:17:10)

The Airport - S4-E12

Deliberate mistake: In this episode Elaine angers the bag man and he puts her bag on a plane to Honolulu. When Jerry and Elaine arrive in New York and are waiting for their bags, it cuts to the "Hawaii" airport and shows Elaine's bag coming out to the baggage claim belt. This was a deliberate mistake as there is no way Elaine's bag could have gotten to Hawaii at the same time Jerry and Elaine are waiting for their bags in New York, since they only left from Missouri.

The Dog - S3-E4

Character mistake: When George and Elaine go to the coffee shop after The Movie without Jerry, they establish that Elaine moved to NYC in 1986. Then they make fun of the way that Jerry throws up; both imitating Jerry. The "Dinner Party" episode is after the "The Dog". In the "Dinner Party" episode, Jerry brags that he hasn't thrown up since June 29th, 1980. The black and white cookie ended this streak. Elaine would not have been around to see this, not arriving in NYC until 1986.

Chosen answer: George does mention his brother in the episode "The Parking Space". They actually really never mention anything that contradicts the fact he had a brother though, it just isn't mentioned.
