Starry Night - S5-E20

Factual error: The Starry Night painting that characters look at in the Van Gogh exhibit is mentioned as being the original painting itself. However, if you compare the painting presented in this episode with the real-life painting that is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art, you can see that it is an imitation, as the colors are brighter and the little details in the painting are not as prominent.

Starry Night - S5-E20

Factual error: When Topanga and Ricky are looking at the Starry Night painting, Topanga reads from her pamphlet and says it mentions Vincent Van Gogh became religious around the time he painted it. Van Gogh grew up in a religious household, with his father being a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, and Vincent himself actually had a desire to become a pastor. On the contrary, however, when he painted Starry Night, although he still believed in an afterlife, he was actually disillusioned with religion.

And Then There Was Shawn - S5-E17

Revealing mistake: When Shawn unmasks the killer and it is revealed to be himself, you can see that the body double that does the unmasking has sideburns and extra scruff on the back of his neck, making him noticeably distinct from Shawn. (00:18:17)

And Then There Was Shawn - S5-E17

Trivia: Eric makes two references to South Park in this episode. When he first greets everyone in detention, he says "Hidee ho" in the same manner as Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo. Later after everyone discovers Kenny has been killed, he screams "Oh my gosh, they killed Kenny!"

Continuity mistake: When Shawn is grilling Kenny about asking to borrow Topanga's pencil, sometimes there is a female student sitting directly behind Angela with an open book on her desk, and other times the desk is unoccupied altogether. (00:00:21 - 00:02:40)

And Then There Was Shawn - S5-E17

Topanga: Look, none of us is the killer. There has to be somebody else in here and there has to be another way out. Somebody has to find a way out.
Eric: Fine, I'll do it. I'm the oldest.
Jack: Actually, I'm the oldest.
Eric: Yeah, but I've lived the longest.

Torn Between Two Lovers (Feeling Like a Fool) - S5-E16

Heartbreak Cory - S5-E14

Revealing mistake: When Topanga is picking up the letter off the ground, you can tell the snow isn't real because it doesn't behave like real snow and run together when she scrapes the letter against it. It looks more like shredded paper being swept aside. (00:20:38)

Heartbreak Cory - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: When Cory is saying to Lauren "Well, today I guess you're stuck with me," he slightly raises his left hand and then sets it back down on his left knee. When the shot changes, his left hand is suddenly resting on the couch cushion between his legs. (00:05:03)

The Eskimo - S5-E13

Factual error: When Shawn and all the other contestants - as well as the radio DJs and onlookers - are standing out in the cold for a chance to win Super Bowl tickets, no-one's breath is visible, nor are any parts of their faces red.

The Eskimo - S5-E13

Other mistake: When Shawn is saying "Thanks a lot Topanga" after she falls to the floor, he is looking down directly in front of him, but she is to his left.

The Eskimo - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Jack is asking Eric about his date the previous night, Eric puts down the book he was reading with the spine facing towards Jack. When the shot changes, the book has now rotated almost 90° counter-clockwise. (00:03:56)

The Eskimo - S5-E13

Character mistake: In the opening scene, Cory remarks that they have been in high school for 4 years and there's nothing left for them to be taught. They began high school in 7th grade and are now midway through their senior year, so they have actually been in high school for 5 and a half years.

Raging Cory - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Shawn is talking about how the time Cory beat up his dad will be a great memory, the half of a cracker he is eating suddenly has another half-sized bite taken out of it and his hand is near his mouth. When the shot changes, the cracker is half-sized again and his hand is several inches away from his face. (00:03:40)

Raging Cory - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Jack is sarcastically asking Shawn if his room is where what people throw down the garbage chute ends up, they are standing shoulder to shoulder. When the shot changes, there is now space between them. (00:02:25)
