Show generally

Audio problem: 2nd January 2004 - Cameron shouted "Don't you want a lift?" out of the car when his friends ran away (thinking it was a killer that had stolen the car.) His lips moved when he spoke, but it was obviously a dub as the words didn't match.

Things That Go Bump - S1-E11

Audio problem: Despite extensive overdubbing in the scene where Bob returns, the roar of helicopters can still be heard in the background. According to producers on the DVD commentary, the noise was due to firefighting aircraft overflying the sound stage during devastating L.A. brush fires in the Fall of '06. (00:25:30)

Ground Zero - S4-E6

Audio problem: When Greene is outside by the river explaining what happened to him, there are a couple of really bad sound edits in the background noise. These are really obvious as the sound suddenly changes, and for some reason the background noise in this scene is very loud, almost as loud as the dialogue; very strange.
