A Very Topanga Christmas - S5-E11
Factual error: This episode takes place near and on Christmas, but an establishing shot of the Matthews' house early in the episode shows the trees to still have very green leaves, and outdoor plants and the front lawn are still alive and healthy looking. None of this is possible in winter in Philadelphia.

Trivia: The establishing shot of the club where everyone goes dancing at the end is the same club Wayne and Garth see Crushal Taunt early in the film Wayne's World.

9th Jun 2020
Factual error: When Shawn has first infiltrated the college philosophy class, the professor begins to resume the class' previous lesson on what he calls "Buridan's paradox," relating a dog caught equidistant between two bowls of food. This paradox in real life is known as "Buridan's ass," and as the name would suggest, concerns a donkey. While the name was probably changed to sound more family friendly, a college philosophy professor would certainly know the proper name and details of said paradox.

Continuity mistake: When Cory is whispering in Amy's ear, she is holding a cup of frozen yogurt in her left hand. When the shot changes, she is holding it in her right hand. (00:16:40)
8th Jun 2020
Continuity mistake: When Topanga is in the elevator and is saying "We'll just have to let nature take its..." the elevator door completely closes before she can say "course." When the shot changes to Cory saying "Nature take its what?", the door can be seen sliding closed again.

Character mistake: When Cory is telling Shawn that he has a lot of questions about The Centre, Shawn invites him to check it out sometime.

The Pink Flamingo Kid - S3-E17
Mr. Feeny: I'm frustrated to see two young men throw away a friendship.
Shawn: Yeah, well the way I see it Mr. Feeny, you don't need friends. OK, especially friends like him.
Mr. Feeny: Then who do you count on, Mr. Hunter?
Shawn: Family. Your family is always there for you. Come on, Mr. Feeny, a guy like you with no friends, you gotta know I'm right.

Other mistake: When Eric and the other security guard discover Mr. Feeny entering the school, Feeny expresses that Eric snuck up on him. Eric was five feet away from Feeny when he first saw him, and was also talking loudly when making his approach towards him. There's no way Feeny couldn't have heard him.

A Long Walk To Pittsburgh (1) - S4-E16
Character mistake: After learning that Topanga will be moving to Pittsburgh, Cory tries to rationalize their desire to be together for the rest of their lives despite still being so young by comparing their relationship to that of Romeo and Juliet, thinking they turned out OK. Shortly thereafter, he is shown reading the book in his backyard and explains the situation to Mr. Feeny, who advises him to skip to the end to find out what happens to their relationship, much to Cory's dismay. The problem is that Cory already learned the fate of Romeo and Juliet in Mr. Feeny's class in the first episode of the series. He was even dismissive over the idea of a man killing himself over a woman.
26th May 2020
Continuity mistake: When Alan is saying "It's a miracle bra, honey, get a camera," his left hand is resting on the table. When the shot changes, his left hand is suddenly resting on his right arm. (00:08:00)
