Show generally

Other mistake: The gender of Mrs Slocombe's cat is always different in each episode. Sometimes her cat is a female and other times it is a male. (eg. In 'Mrs Slocombe Expects', her cat is female. In 'No Sale', when Mrs. Slocombe complains about her having to get up to have a bath at 6:00 in the morning, she says, "The gurgling of the tank woke him up.").

The Great Egg Heist/The Feud - S2-E9

Other mistake: In the Great Egg Heist, when they arrive at the museum, Jimmy gives everyone shishkabob-shaped earplugs for Libby's scream. But in the next shot, if you look at everyone's ears, there are no earplugs. Also, in the next shot, next to Libby you can see Carl putting his hands over his ears. This is impossible because the pointy ends of the earplugs would stab Carl's hands.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight - S8-E18

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Meredith, Derek and Zola see the lion crossing the street in front of the car, the lion roars and it is clear that the lion is not missing any teeth. However, later in the episode, Richard removes a tooth that had gotten lodged in the male mauling victim's arm. The victim was the lion's owner and the attack happened in his house, so by the time the lion was out the tooth should already be missing.

Winter Luau - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Lucas is about to take Alexa from her friends, you can hear them re-using an audio clip from a previous episode, "But if I tell them the same thing is gonna happen to me" which would only apply if this was before Alexa tells everyone that she is the one with cancer.
