Awareness picture

Continuity mistake: The pan of scrambled eggs (which contains much more than can be expected for the two eggs Vicente prepares) is several inches past Ian's hands and cup, but is right behind Ian's hands when he holds the photograph. Also, Ian's tall cup is not visible behind the photo he holds, with the exception of a tiny representative piece above the woman's head in the picture. The cup is visible after Ian lowers his hands, but his hands holding the photo cannot cover up the cup. (00:09:23)

Horse Camp: A Treasure Tail picture

Continuity mistake: The horse's head faces the left side of the screen with its rear-end angled towards the upper right side. The horse's face bumps Dave's head a few times, and Dave even pushes the horse's face out of the way. Suddenly, the horse walks along the fence from the left side of the screen towards the right side (but cannot change position that quickly). (00:27:30 - 00:28:06)

Continuity mistake: Lily has 4-5 stacked pancakes on her plate, including a half-eaten one on top. After she pours syrup on the stack, there are suddenly 7-8 pancakes, arranged differently. Lily may have time to cut 1-2 pancakes into pieces, but nobody is close enough to the table to add any pancakes to account for the increase. (00:04:40 - 00:05:03)

Rent-a-Groom picture

Continuity mistake: "Gramms" (Maggie Westmoreland) lifts her cup of coffee using both hands and takes a sip. By the time she lowers her cup to the table, her glass of water goes from over half-full to less than half-full. Nobody refills the glass, but it is back to over half-full. Thereafter, the level of water in the glass alternates after almost every view of Tracey. (00:02:05)

The Christmas Venue picture

Continuity mistake: Cait plays the "forehead game" and correctly guesses that she is "snow". Cait apparently removes the paper from her forehead (off-screen). The timer bell rings, and the paper is on Cait's forehead as if she does not take it off. (00:57:28 - 00:58:08)

12 Dares of Christmas picture

Continuity mistake: In the ice cream and hot cocoa parlor, the jar of candy canes/sticks is closer to the gingerbread house than the cash register. In the rearview, the three objects are close together, with little space between them. Later, the reverse occurs: the three objects are close together in the rearview, but the jar is back to being closer to the gingerbread house in the front view. (00:13:30 - 00:15:45)

Romance in Hawaii picture

Continuity mistake: Leah pours some wine, then sets the bottle near the centre of the counter (next to the bowl). The bottle is closer to the edge, back near the centre, then towards the edge of the counter again. Leah does move her cell phone with her right hand a couple of times and holds her glass in her left, but it doesn't appear she drinks any wine and there's no sound to indicate she refills her glass or moves the wine bottle. (00:07:45 - 00:08:50)

80 for Brady picture

Continuity mistake: The amount of tomato juice in Lou's [Lily Tomlin] glass fluctuates with camera angle/distance, increasing two times. More distant views from the table show about one-third full, whereas close-ups show about one-half full. (00:27:10 - 00:28:10)

A Thousand and One picture

Continuity mistake: The position of Terry's baseball cap's visor (worn backwards) varies several times, from straight down to skewed to the right or left. When Terry exits the vehicle, the visor is towards his right side, but straight down when he stands. (Terry's arms are at his sides.) The visor moves to the left when Inez hugs him, but is straight down when he enters the building and to his right after he gets inside. The visor is straight down when Inez slaps him, but angled to the right when she leaves. (00:22:40 - 00:23:38)
