Jackie Chan Adventures picture

Origami - S2-E14

Other mistake: When Viper slides the swords to Jackie and they come to a rest next to him, there is a small paper spider right beside Jackie. The only paper spider in the room, however, is Origami himself, and he is actually too far away at that moment and too big to fit the bill. Guess some of the animators got their depth perception messed up.

Merlin picture

Excalibur - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Uther takes Excaliber from Merlin while preparing for his duel with the black knight, we see that Uther is left handed. And he is left handed while writing. He tests the balance of the sword with his left hand, and in fact wears his sword on his right hip in all other episodes. Once he puts his helmet on and begins his duel with the black knight he suddenly becomes right handed.

Saved by the Bell picture

Glee Club - S2-E18

Other mistake: In the scene where the Glee Club is discussing that Violet will win them the contest, Violet leaves as she is upset about Screech. Zack then comments about "No one having a voice like Violet's". If you look at Mr. Tuttle, he mouths the words that Zack says.

The Wonder Years picture

Heart of Darkness - S2-E1

Other mistake: During the 3-nightmare sequences, there are 25 students, with all desks full. However, 1 desk should have been left open as Kevin appears in the dreams, meaning there should only be 24 students.

A Pile of Stones - S1-E6

Other mistake: At the end of this episode when Jonathan and Nicky set off on horseback to the canal to board the tug boat "Heartsease" they leave late at night and arrive the next day. But in episodes 7 and 8 Margaret rides on horseback to Heartsease and home again, and the journey only takes a few minutes.

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.

Children of the Stones picture

Show generally

Other mistake: When the throne in episode 5 & 6 is first introduced it is a normal throne or chair; it doesn't move when merely touched. But once the ceremony starts and after it's finished, it's suddenly a swivel chair. The base is never shown of course. But a swivel chair made of solid rock...?

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.

Stacey Takes a Stand - S1-E12

Other mistake: We know the girls all go to school together, but when they are walking home in the opening scene, they all meet up coming from different directions.

Suggested correction: They don't approach from very different directions. All of them are still basically in the same area of lawn and trees. This is possible depending on what they do after exiting the school building. Maybe someone walked in another direction so they could briefly talk to other friends, etc.

The Greatest American Hero picture

Hog Wild - S2-E4

Other mistake: Preacher has a large bold tattoo at the center of his chest below his neck that changes repeatedly. For example, it's dark and clear when they capture the deputy, but it's smudged and partially gone when Preacher forces Stella, the deputy, and Ralph into the 18-wheeler. (00:29:10 - 00:36:50)

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.

Green-Eyed Gomez - S1-E8

Other mistake: As Fester goes to shoot Gomez, his aim strays upward to about a 45 to 50° angle. Not enough to shoot the support chain on the light that is directly above him, and hits him on the head.
