Old Glory - S4-E11

Revealing mistake: Whilst Bobby is reversing the truck before hitting the flagpole in Bill's yard we see the driveway in front of the truck. The very next shot shows Peggy from behind the truck instructing him how far to go to the flag pole and you can see they have used the same background as the shot before from the other angle. You can tell this as both shots are the same background as both angles despite from different viewpoints are exactly the same items and objects in both shots. Added to this there is a driveway in each shot, and Bill doesn't have 2 driveways in his backyard.

The Great Payne Robbery - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: Watch as the corrupt officer comes in to rob the Paynes. It's dark and Gina supposedly has tackled him, but you can see the officer kneel down and then Gina goes over to him to make it look as if she tackled him down when the lights came back on.

Hundred Dollar Baby - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: During the training montage, right as Mac is about to smash the bottle over Charlie's head, you can see Charlie stop what he's doing about a half-second before being hit, and brace himself for the impact, despite not being able to see it coming. This is confirmed on the DVD commentary.

The Last Shout: Part 1 - S3-E7

Revealing mistake: Saffy is ironing her boyfriend's shirt and when she has finished he puts it on just before asking her to marry him. When he buttons it up he does so with the buttons and holes misaligned by at least 2 button-holes, and with the collar obviously at an odd angle around his neck.

Primal - S1-E9

Revealing mistake: When we first see the army of Starks outside Global Dynamics, it's quite obvious that only one of them is actually the actor that plays Stark; the others are merely people who look similar.

Log 94: Vengeance - S2-E19

Revealing mistake: Halfway through the show, the officers get a flat. As Malloy is getting ready to jack up the car, Reed starts using the lug nut wrench to loosen up the nuts. He repeatedly turns the wrench clockwise, which would tighten the nuts.

Out, Darn Spotlight - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: Right after the scene with the witches, Cindy disguises herself while offering coffee to the producer Corky Shimatzu. However, besides the Groucho Marx glasses and nose, she is wearing her normal outfit when a few minutes earlier, she was wearing her witch outfit, had green makeup on her face, and her hair was a completely different style. Then a few minutes later, she goes back to her play costume. That makeup must have taken at least an hour and would take just as long to remove it. Yet she changes from and back to it in a matter of minutes.

Berry Scary - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: Blue is walking down a hall with a paddle ball in his hand. He is twirling around the ball and string around the paddle. However it's obvious that the string is somehow just passing through the paddle itself and not going around it. It's especially noticeable when he stops and the string slows down and visibly passes right through the wood of the paddle.

A Fistful of Paintballs - S2-E23

Revealing mistake: When Chang is getting blasted with the minigun, the safety pads under his shirt are very noticeable. (His shirt is extremely "puffed out" and you can see the outline of pads.) He's been tied up most of the episode and wasn't wearing pads earlier, so there's no way he was able to get pads on in the meantime.

El Jefe - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: The woman becomes possessed while the police are attempting to arrest her. She turns her head around and cracks her shoulders so she can walk at them backwards. They did not change her hand positions, so her right hand is where her left should be and vice versa. (00:11:00)

Some Kind of Miracle - S3-E17

Revealing mistake: When Alex is talking to Rebecca Pope at the end of the episode, we hear Alex say "Now I know more about you than my friends." Watch Rebecca's left eye on the right if the screen when she says, "That's pathetic." Someone did a bad job of editing the CGI and we see a phantom eye over her left eyebrow.

Mini - S6-E5

Revealing mistake: When mini is in the bath at the start of the episode you can see the bandeau she is wearing in the bath when she lays back down in the tub, probably to stop her being exposed.
