A Very Topanga Christmas - S5-E11

Character mistake: When Cory is talking to Alan in the middle of the night, he mentions that Topanga has been staying with them for less than 8 hours. She arrived during the day time, and then convinced the family to go to Vermont to get a real Christmas tree, which they are cutting down at nighttime, and Eric later expressing after the new tree has been put up and decorated that it was 600 miles round-trip. All of this would take more than 8 hours. Driving from Philadelphia to the southernmost part of Vermont and back again alone would take more than 8 hours.

A Very Topanga Christmas - S5-E11

Other mistake: When Topanga knocks on Cory's door at 3:00 AM, he comes out and expresses that he's always asleep at this time of night. Despite this, he shows no signs of having just been awakened from his sleep. On the contrary, he appears very alert.

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.

Fraternity Row - S5-E4

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.

Boy Meets Real World - S5-E2

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.

Boy Meets Real World - S5-E2

Other mistake: As Wendy is leaving the apartment, she writes her phone number on Shawn's palm and tells him to call her. She only scribbled a few lines on his palm for a second, not nearly enough time to write her entire phone number down.

Cult Fiction - S4-E21

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. A couple scenes later when Cory does just that, an incredulous and defensive Shawn asks him why he is there, as if he forgot he invited Cory to check the place out.

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.

Life Lessons - S3-E18

Topanga: Cory, do not even try to call me for the next two weeks. I will be incommunicado.
Shawn: Wow, that's guts. We're studying and she's off to Mexico.

Security Guy - S4-E20

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.
