GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka picture

Show generally

Other mistake: During the first dozen or so episodes, during the opening credits, Onizuka is shown spray-painting a picture of a woman on a wall, with the words "Love" and "Piece" written next to her. Obviously, "piece" is a mistranslation, and the wrong spelling. The correct text should read "Love" and "PEACE."

Opposites Attract: Night of the Locust (3) - S2-E15

Other mistake: The filming of the spycam at the dance doesn't make sense. Grandpa and Judy are roughly the same height. The spycam was placed in his shirt pocket. Yet, when he looks over at her, her head is right in the middle of the shot, when in reality it would have been much higher up, and likely out of frame.

The April Fools - S4-E12

Other mistake: When Roger writes the note after Kel glues his mouth shut, Kenan reads back far more than Roger could realistically have written in the short amount of time he took to write it.

Weekend Fantasy - S1-E8

Other mistake: Having thought that the kids were in trouble, or away when Jason and Maggie go away for the weekend, they call the next door neighbor to check on them and have them call them back at the hotel that they are staying, but they did not give a phone number to be called. A few minutes later, they call the police as there was no answer - and Maggie says "Jason, you didn't even give them a number to call us back" - but they didn't give the number to the neighbor, and the police would more than likely have it for caller ID reasons.

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Other mistake: The coworker who computerised the old database takes a huge bite out of an apple. But in the following shot after this, the man doesn't appear as if he took a huge bite out of an apple at all. His mouth is suddenly closed and the movements of his mouth after biting the apple are relatively light. (00:37:37)

Here Come the Double Deckers picture

Season 1 generally

Other mistake: Whenever you see the gates to the yard during the show they are painted green and have a "Wright and Boston scrap metal merchants" sign written on them. But right at the front of the opening titles of every episode, the gates are plain green with no sign-writing on them.

Livin' a Large Lie - S1-E22

Other mistake: Throughout the episode, characters make reference to Mark's Grandma having a wooden leg, including the woman herself. However, both of her legs are visible from the knee down several times in the episode, and you can see both of them are flesh and bone.

Rocko's Modern Life picture

Show generally

Other mistake: In the show's introduction, the giant clock comes and smashes a baseball cap on Rocko, growing him up. Then, when the giant blue hand picks him up, the baseball cap disappears mid-shot, with no explanation. (00:00:15)

Boston Legal picture

Angel of Death - S3-E11

Other mistake: As Denny asks "did she sleep in your room?" Alan leaves Denny's hotel room, pulling the door behind him. The swinging door catch is in the closed position, sticking out from the door frame which would prevent the door from being able to shut - the shot cuts a fraction before impact and we hear the sound of the door closing anyway.
