Full Moon / Student Teacher - S4-E1
Revealing mistake: Student Teacher: When Olga says, "But, nothing, baby sister!" before giving Helga detention, Rhonda and Brainy disappear for one frame. (00:17:17)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: Runaway Float: When Arnold first sees the beeper float, he says, "How can they control that thing?", and Gerald is sitting on the curb to the right of Arnold. In the next shot, Gerald is suddenly behind him. Arnold is also a lot further away from the curb than he originally was. (00:08:16)
Helga's Masquerade / Mr. Green Runs - S5-E2
Other mistake: Mr. Green Runs: When Green tells Arnold he can't be himself and needs to come up with some fancy words, Arnold is wearing a "Vote Green" button. Then, just as Green says, "I gotta get outta here," Arnold's button now reads "Voet Green" with Vote misspelled.
Love and Cheese / Weighing Harold - S4-E7
Continuity mistake: Love and Cheese: When Arnold and Lila's boat starts sinking, it starts to move backwards and hits a huge rock at the edge of the waterfall. When Lila almost falls and Arnold holds her up, the rock is gone. It reappears in the following shots. (00:10:15 - 00:10:40)
Love and Cheese / Weighing Harold - S4-E7
Other mistake: Love and Cheese: When Arnold accidentally kisses Gerald's hand on the bus, his left foot is missing. (00:02:00)
Arnold's Thanksgiving - S3-E14

Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: Runaway Float: When the beeper float first starts to speed out of control, in one of the shots, Helga is wearing her regular outfit, not her beeper costume. On top of that, the kids on the float are smiling and waving, not freaking out like they were before. (00:08:39)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Other mistake: Runaway Float: After Nick Vermicelli says that the parade float is a total mess, as Arnold says, "It's not a mess," the background is of the school hallway, not Arnold's garage. (00:05:28)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Revealing mistake: Runaway Float: When Arnold and Gerald are watching the parade, Arnold turns his head to look at the marching band. When he looks away from it, his left eye doesn't move, and it stays visible in his hair for the remainder of the shot. (00:07:51)
Arnold Betrays Iggy / Helga and the Nanny - S3-E10
Revealing mistake: Helga and the Nanny: When Helga tells the other kids that her nanny was fired, as she says, "Yeah, well my dad found his lucky belt under her bed this morning," her left-side hair disappears for one frame. (00:20:06)
Part-Time Friends / Bio Square - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: Part-Time Friends: When Arnold and Gerald get part-time jobs at the flower shop, while Mrs. Vitello explains things to them, she asks if she's going too fast, and in the next close-up, Arnold's apron vanishes, then it reappears.
Part-Time Friends / Bio Square - S2-E19
Other mistake: Bio Square: While Phoebe and Stinky are telling the class about their science fair experiment, just as Phoebe shares that it was in honor of her hero, "I.P. Pavlov," watch as Stinky's eyes move off to the side of his head, then return to normal.
Girl Trouble / School Dance - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Besides the fact that when Helga is sharpening her pencil, the desk arrangement changes, one of the students visible when she looks at Arnold is...Helga.
Weird Cousin / Baby Oskar - S4-E11
Factual error: Stephen Viksten is credited twice for voicing Oskar.
Mud Bowl / Gerald Moves Out - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When Gerald catches his little sister destroying his cassette tape, the book she is wrapping changes color from blue to green. (00:12:30)
Continuity mistake: When the four boys form their line (just before the adults call out "Arnold"), watch Harold's tooth; it goes from the right side of his mouth (as you look at him) to his left side.
The Little Pink Book/Field Trip - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: On the "Presidents of the United States" sign behind Helga, the word "United" becomes "Nvited"

Operation Ruthless/The Vacant Lot - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: In Operation Ruthless, the pedal in Helga & Phoebe's bumper car changes color from black to gray to black between shots.
Answer: The show is based in present day times. Plus most cars aren't old fashtioned, I recall seeing a limo and not to mention a cherry picker, etc.
