Suggested correction: "Wirewolf" originally aired on October 28, 2000 while "Revenge of the Monsters" originally aired on November 14, 2000. In the context of the show, there's no continuity mistake. When they reordered the show and put them into Season 1 and Season 2, the first 7 episodes of season 2 are out of order (according to original air date). For example, s02e01 aired after s01e14.

Even though "Revenge of the Monsters" aired on November 14, 2000, and as a season one episode, the episode "Wirewolf" is a Season two episode so it still constitutes as a continuity error.

No. You missed the point completely. "Wirewolf" was produced BEFORE (production code 011) "Revenge of the Monsters" (production code 045). Therefore, there is no continuity error for the show. The order of the episodes were then later changed, which isn't the fault of the show. If you watch the episodes in order they were produced instead of the order they're listed in IMDB, there isn't a mistake.

Grave Risk: Part 2 - S1-E28

Continuity mistake: At the end of the battle between Jaden Yuki and Gravekeeper's Chief, just as the explosion settles, in one shot you see the Gravekeeper's Spear card to the left of Gravekeeper's Chief on the duel disk. However in the next shot Gravekeeper's Spear is replaced with Magician of Black Chaos, which Chief neither has in his deck or ever played in the match. (00:13:35)

Triumvirate of Terror! - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Back at their kingdom, Wonder Woman and her mom are sitting and talking as they watch the fighting before them. The mother turns her head towards Wonder Woman in a close up and says "Oh please. It's just one little contest." It then changes to a wide shot again and suddenly her mom is looking straight forward.

It Wasn't Me! - S1-E13

Moero! Pegasus Ryuseiken - S1-E2

Other mistake: In the ending shot of the tournament bracket showing the potential future opponents, the two saints' names are written the wrong way, as "DORAGON" and "ANDOROMEDA", instead of Dragon and Andromeda. (00:22:00)

What If... Captain Carter Were the First Avenger? - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: When Peggy and Steve are studying the map where the 107th Army division is held captive, the names on the map are nonsensical names that do not even follow German spelling or standards for place names ("Farfignugen," "Dädtenorth," and "Rosskjhberg," for instance). Most of them are also reused, appearing several times on the same map. This is most likely done deliberately so as to avoid any resemblance to real places, but still looks out of place and illogical.

Audio problem: While Pickles is sniffing the ground, she asks Bob "Did you know vomit tastes bad?", but her lips don't match what she is saying.

The Mad Scientist - S1-E1

Factual error: As the beginning shows Krypton explode, there is a huge cloud of dust at the remains of the planet that then fades to nothing. Only space dust would not act like that from an entire planet exploding. It acted like dust settling on the ground and just fading away, rather than dissipating into space. (00:01:25)

Wind Chimes - S1-E9

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Mcduff and Johnson are trying to find water since it's extremely hot, they go Under The Bed and notice Alfred under there. Look in the background, for just a split second, you can a man walk past the from the door. It's for only a split second so it's quite easy to miss. (00:06:05)

Jungle Jeopardy - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Dum-Dum cuts the rope releasing Chug-a-Boom from the balloon, we cut to the car and you can see Clyde and Dum-Dum are surrounded by the rest of the Ant Hill Mob, but when we see the two in the next shot, the other members are nowhere to be seen.
