My New Suit - S5-E18

My Bad Too - S7-E7
Continuity mistake: After the kid collapses walking across the stage, J.D. and Eliot sit down in the cafeteria and start talking. J.D.'s hands are under the table. The shot switches and J.D.'s forearms are now resting on the table.
3rd Sep 2011
Continuity mistake: When Kelso and Cole are sitting in the bed talking, watch the position of Kelso's arms and the juice box he is sipping from. The juice box, straw, and Kelso's arms all move around from shot to shot for the entire scene. Towards the end of the scene there is even one point where Kelso puts his arm down, the shot changes, and Kelso puts his arm down again.

The drink switches instantly between her hand and the table several times in the following shots.

Revealing mistake: Right after Dr. Cox gives the results of the patients STD tests, the shot switches to show Turk, JD, the Todd and Dr. Kelso. Before the sprinkler activates you can tell that their hair is already wet from previous takes.

My Boss's Free Haircut - S4-E20

My Own Private Practice Guy - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Fisher stands up from being tackled by Dr. Cox, his stethoscope is outside his collar. When he turns around, his stethoscope is now completely hidden by his coat collar.
16th Jul 2008
Continuity mistake: During the scene where the class is being warned about the dangers of being a "wait and see" type of doctor, JD imagines himself as being the only person in the auditorium. In the first shot of him alone, there is a bookbag (or something similar) sitting on a seat about three seats to JD's left. In the next shot of him, it is gone, and in the third and final shot of him alone, it is back again.
7th Jun 2008
Continuity mistake: When J.D. walks up to the table where his interns are sitting, Keith and Rex are fighting with their table knives and have them crossed. The shot switches to a view from the other end of the table and suddenly Rex's knife is on the table and he is facing J.D. but Keith's knife is up in the air as if he was still fighting with Rex. There is not enough time for Rex to put his knife down and turn to face J.D.

My New Game - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: Right near the beginning, Jordan adjusts Cox's stethoscope and collar. The end of the stethoscope then goes back and forth between inside and outside of his coat for the remainder of the scene.
19th Jan 2008
Continuity mistake: When the family goes to throw Carla through the window, watch the window they throw her towards. The window is made up of at least three sections of glass, each no more than 2-3 feet wide with metal posts between sections. When the shot changes and Carla (well, the dummy of Carla) hits, the window is now only two sections, each about 5 feet wide. The easiest way to tell is watch the metal post farthest to the right. When the shot changes to outside, that post, which should now be farthest to the left, has vanished.
29th Dec 2007
Continuity mistake: When Turk marks the location for the surgery on Pvt. Dancer, he makes a horizontal mark on the left side of Dancer's abdomen. You can also see a small scar on Dancer's right side opposite the mark. A couple of shots later, Dancer is shown from the front and the mark has now switched to the right side above the scar.
28th Dec 2007
My Old Lady - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When JD is at the birthday party, watch the chocolate on his face. At one point there are two separate bits of chocolate on his left cheek, then the shot changes and they are gone. The shot changes again and they are back.
18th Dec 2007
Revealing mistake: Watch the line appear on the wall as Kelso cuts through the wall into the "Luxury Suite." The line is being cut with a round, drywall cutting bit such as would be used with a drill or Dremel tool. You can see it spinning as the cut is made. However, when Kelso has pushed down the wall and points the tool at Cox and the Janitor, he is now holding a standard reciprocating saw with a flat blade which would cut very differently than what was shown.
13th Nov 2007
Visible crew/equipment: During the scene where JD is fantasizing about dancing with the German patient to "99 Luft Balloons," a crew member's green-sleeved arm is momentarily visible throwing balloons into the shot.
