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.

A Case of Sour Grapes - S1-E14

Other mistake: There is a sour bottle of wine that Jack and EZ taste in the kitchen - Jack throws the bottle in the sink and breaks it before Vicky and Mr. Bradford enter the kitchen and have a chance to taste it. There would be a strong sour smell all over the kitchen, but no-one in the room noticed any bad smell after the bottle of wine breaking.

Warriors and Guardians - S2-E4

Other mistake: The driver in the blue Mustang (Osito) drives past Nolan and Harper, then makes a u-turn and drives past them again, to Nolan and Harper's left (same direction he came from), but when Nolan and Harper go to chase him, they turn right instead of left. (00:31:15)

Nether Zone - S7-E4

Other mistake: Jeremy and Mark are locked in an apartment building. Mark calls a locksmith but is unable to get any assistance as he doesn't know the address. Several minutes later Jeremy orders a pizza to the address and it arrives with no issue. (00:04:28 - 00:10:20)

Suggested correction: Mark gives a series of addresses with the help of Jeremy who finally seems to remember the address. Although, there's no indication the locksmith wasn't willing to help. After the call Mark said they called him a "prong." And if they didn't offer any assistance, it could be because they thought it was a prank. When Jeremy calls the pizza place, part of his conversation is drowned out by Mark's voice over, but is reasonable to assume he gave the correct address now that he remember it.

Ellen picture

Show generally

Other mistake: The establishing shots of Buy The Book make it clear that there is an optometrist next to Buy The Book, but in the season three episode premiere Shake Rattle and Rubble, a major plot point is that there is a dry cleaners next to the store, which is not only wrong but impossible.

Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide picture

Art Class & Lost and Found - S3-E5

Other mistake: Ned paints a rather obscene painting and brings it up to his teacher. He had just painted the painting and his teacher gets angry at the school cutting the art budget, so Ned holds the painting against his chest. When he takes it off his chest, there is no paint on his chest and the painting had no chance to dry before he put it on his chest.
