Other mistake: How on earth can a jobbing actor in a late-night soap with a non-paying tenant afford a huge, luxurious, two-bedroom apartment, complete with balcony and communal hot-tub, all within a few miles of the Hollywood sign? That's the expensive side of L.A, and he'd be very lucky to get that apartment for under five figures a month.

Other mistake: If you look on Disk Three, in the Features section, select "Behind the Tunes", you'll see three titles: "Too fast, too furry-ous", "Blanc Expressions", and "Merrie Melodies: Carl Stalling and Cartoon Misic". Misic? Just to be sure I unloaded the DVD player software and rebooted. Nope, still there. How did THAT get past quality control? Should be "music", in case you're wondering.

The Mad Scientist - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: After the narrator says that Clark Kent works for a newspaper, the image cuts to the Daily Planet tower and you see cars driving around below it. One street is curved and you can see that the cars at the top are going to the right and turning as if they came from the street going down on the left of the building. Yet you see on the street to the left of the building that there are only cars going down that street one direction, away from the top of the screen. On the other side of the building the same street has cars going towards the top of the screen. Like the cars are just spawning on the street behind the building. (00:02:15)

Movie Star Angelo - S4-E12

Continuity mistake: In the original version, Ginger is wearing his hockey jersey in the wide shots; however, in the close-up shot of him when he says, "Tom, I really think we should do my hockey idea!" his jersey disappears, and he is just wearing his regular Season 4 outfit. This was fixed in a music video and the later releases of this episode.
