The Great Can Drive - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: Right after TJ and friends are looking at the "thermometers" of cans, the Ashleys have at least 4 crates of cans that they bring in on forklifts. However, the end result is 4,362 cans for the Ashleys. This may seem kind of picky, but I think there was more cans than 4,362.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: This is literally just an assumption, and nothing else. 4,362 is a pretty huge number, and with the amount of cans that we see the Ashleys collect in the episode, combined with the amount of cans that they and the rest of Miss Furley's class collected off-screen, it is perfectly believable that Miss Furley's class would end up collecting that amount of cans.

The Alchemy Murder Case File 1 - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Kindaichi shifts the stage screen Miyuki is holding, her fingers are not gripping the sides in the new position. Unless she is keeping it up sticking the back of it to her palms like Spider-man, it is impossible. She does hold it normally in all the other shots. (00:01:55)

Surf'N Turf/Hardcase Returns - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: In "Hardcase Returns" Skidmark uses a digital phone to track a GPS device installed on Turbo's parade car. When the keypad on it is shown, 3 letters are missing. They could have been on the keys that had nothing written on them, but we will never know for sure because nothing is on them.

Race to the Spaceship/Sandbox Surprise - S3-E5

Revealing mistake: In the sequence where Pig is making a pizza with strange toppings, an ant caries a large bucket of popcorn up the counter. It is flush on its back with no top when on the floor, and the popcorn is bulging out. The ant turns 90 degrees and walks up the counter, and the popcorn thus turns on its side in the air. Not one piece of popcorn falls out or even shifts, despite the pile now pointing out rather than up.

Winds of War - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: When the widow is bandaging the fighter pilot, the part of bandage she is wrapping appears and disappears during the animation - when her hand movies, instead of adding new layers of bandage, the army causes the green sleeve of the space suit to flash back in view. (00:20:10)

However, for about 1 frame before his head falls to the table and Rocket grabs his ear, the shadow of his head can be seen on the table while his head stays upright. (00:09:20)

A Case Of Trust - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: The scene where Macduff, Johnson and Diesel are happy because they found Macduff's "button" medal of bravery, watch when diesel jumps up and down. You can the actor's black shoes he is wearing. This also happens throughout other parts of this episode. (00:06:40)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: The "hostage" episode reuses footage from the "Dinosaur" episode, which doesn't totally fit. When the giant crabs attack and destroy the group of houses on the island, the longshot of the damage is recycled from the earthquake episode - including an earth fissure, something the giant crabs wouldn't and probably couldn't have done.
