Two and a Half Men

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Charlie and Jake are at the supermarket Jake tells his uncle to switch milk brands, and when Charlie puts the Dairy Farm 1/2 gallon milk carton back on the shelf it wobbles easily back and forth, revealing it's actually an empty carton.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Alan first meets Rose, she eventually says "He (Charlie) has a very musky scent" with her head turning to look at Alan. When the camera cuts to Alan, he says "uh huh" and Rose is all of a sudden looking straight ahead. (00:10:40)

I Can't Afford Hyenas - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: After Berta tells Charlie he owes her $74 for groceries, she walks to the table and says 'funny story' with Charlie facing the coffee machine with his head facing towards it. When the camera cuts to another angle, Charlies head is all of a sudden in a different position with no time to have made the move. (00:01:50)

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: While Evelyn is at Charlie's asking Alan if he's considered that there may be another man at Judith's "shacking up with her," Evelyn is wearing a blue 2-piece skirt suit, but in Charlie's close-up Evelyn's wearing a white suit with a red floral pattern when she's standing in front of Charlie, at the left side of the screen. (In the original pilot Evelyn is played by Blythe Danner wearing the floral suit, but she had to back out and was replaced by Holland Taylor, who's wearing the blue suit).

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: While Alan's sitting on the couch, Evelyn's talking to Alan "helping...through a very difficult time," and in the shots facing Alan all of the books on the table behind him, and also the books on the couch's side table keep changing - not just their position, all the books actually become different books. Additionally, in the shots facing Charlie, the books beside the chair and the books/CDs/DVDs on the bookcase change as well.

Bobby the waiter: We haven't seen your mother here for quite some time.
Charlie: Well, maybe you just didn't recognize her. Like Satan, my mother can take many forms.

Chosen answer: No. It's very similar, but not the same set.

White Lock

Answer: To confirm, it is not the same set. In fact, the "Two and Half Men" production staff have officially denied their set is based on the "Laverne and Shirley" set, but just appear similar since they share a Spanish Colonial style. In addition, "Two and Half Men" and "Laverne and Shirley" were produced by two different companies and shot on two different stages.
