Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 11: Tablet of Time - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Connors starts transforming into the Lizard after being blasted by the robot, the sleeve of his lab coat magically becomes tattered at the same time his hand transforms. Subsequent shots also alternate with his sleeve being tattered and pristine as well as his hand being reptilian and normal.

Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 6: Morbius - S2-E6
Factual error: When Morbius is comatose at the hospital after reverting to his human form following his battle with Spider-Man, he is still wearing his trenchcoat, pants, boots, etc. The hospital staff wouldn't leave him in his outfit, they would dress him in a hospital gown. On top of that, he isn't even hooked up to any monitors.

Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 7: Enter the Punisher - S2-E7
Other mistake: Spider-Man and Detective Lee both comment on the skull on the Punisher's shirt when they first see him. However, the Punisher is wearing body armor that covers most of his chest and abdomen in this scene, so there's no way they would know that he has a skull on his shirt.

Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 11: Tablet of Time - S2-E9
Factual error: When Peter is walking Alissa home, the traffic signal at the intersection they stop at goes from red to yellow to green. Not what US traffic signals do - they go straight from red to green.
Suggested correction: Not entirely true; although they are rare and may no longer exist now, I've seen traffic lights that followed the red, yellow, green pattern as recently as the mid-1990s.
Interesting. What state (s) did you see this in? I'm assuming going from red to yellow was to encourage cars to cautiously enter the intersection in case someone was running a red light?
Traffic lights in the UK do this - it's more to give you a second to get ready, in gear, etc., then as soon as the lights turn green you can go. Otherwise you get no warning of when the lights are about to change.
In Illinois; as I said, such traffic lights are rare, but they did exist at least as recently as the time this episode of the series aired, and they may still possibly exist in larger cities such as New York City.
This traffic light set-up (red to yellow to green) still exists today in the UK. From what I understand, it is to alert the driver that the light will be turning green imminently and to prepare themselves to put their car in gear, as manual cars are still pretty common in Europe. I'd wager this light cycle was phased out of North America due to the abundance of automatic cars today. Could have been different in 1994 though.
It should be noted that traffic lights that go from red to yellow before going green keep the red light illuminated so that both red and yellow are lit up. However, that's not what happens in the scene. I've never seen a traffic light operate the way it's shown. And Massachusetts still has traffic lights that go from red to yellow, however, when red and yellow are lit up together, this allows for pedestrian crossing.

Trivia: Around the same time this show was airing, James Cameron was in the midst of developing a Spider-Man film which would have featured Sandman and Electro as the villains. Due to this plan, Sandman never appeared on this show despite being a prominent member of Spidey's rogue's gallery. Electro eventually made an appearance in the show's final season once it was determined that Cameron's film would never come to fruition, though the Electro that appeared on this show was a bastardized version of his comics counterpart.

The Alien Costume: Part 1 - S1-E8
Trivia: When Peter Parker is testing the costume changing capabilities of the symbiote, he suggests "that guy from Aerosmith," and materializes a suit similar to what Joe Perry from Aerosmith wears. Joe Perry composed the theme song for this show. (00:14:20)

Audio problem: When Eddie Brock is complaining about being stuck in traffic, he hits both of his fists against the handle of his car's steering wheel and somehow the horn blows. (00:03:00)
9th Dec 2015
The Alien Costume: Part 1 - S1-E8
Audio problem: When John Jameson is inside the crater, his mouth is not moving for any of his dialogue. He's communicating with the other astronaut, so it can't be an inner monologue. (00:01:05)
4th Dec 2015
Continuity mistake: When Peter and Debra are approaching Dr. Connors' office, the nameplate on his door misspells his name as "DR. CURT CONNeRS". After they have entered the lab, the nameplate is shown to have the correct spelling. (00:06:10)
4th Dec 2015
Deliberate mistake: When the sewer worker is trying to escape the Lizard, the fast lanes in both directions of traffic are visibly clear for several blocks, which is extremely unlikely in downtown New York. (00:01:10)
4th Dec 2015
Other mistake: Spider-Man is shown web-slinging past several glass buildings, but he does not cast a reflection in any of them. (00:00:10)

Sins of the Fathers Chapter 1: Doctor Strange - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: After Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Dr. Strange and Wong escape from Baron Mordo's lair, the lair itself disappears into thin air because of, according to Wong, the fluctuation of diminishing portal energy. When Spider-Man is saying farewell to Dr. Strange, the lair is there again. (00:18:30 - 00:19:05)

Sins of the Fathers Chapter 1: Doctor Strange - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: The same shot of debris falling from the ceiling in Baron Mordo's lair is used twice. (00:14:25 - 00:15:45)

Sins of the Fathers Chapter 1: Doctor Strange - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: The hole in Dr. Strange's wall created by Baron Mordo's servants changes size and shape when Spider-Man is hanging Dr. Strange out the window. (00:10:25)

Sins of the Fathers Chapter 1: Doctor Strange - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Peter wakes up from Baron Mordo's illusion, he is wearing a monk's robe with sneakers and is barehanded. He removes the robe, revealing he was wearing his Spider-Man costume underneath, but his gloves and boots magically appear on his hands and feet as well. (00:09:45)

Sins of the Fathers Chapter 1: Doctor Strange - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: When Mary Jane and the other servants of Baron Mordo are flying through the city, they literally disappear into thin air. Probably a problem with rendering the 2D animation within the 3D animation. (00:01:00)

Neogenic Nightmare Chapter 5: Mutants Revenge - S2-E5
Revealing mistake: The same shot of Beast looking dejected after Spider-Man calls him "blue boy" is used again a few minutes later when Wolverine is telling Spider-Man that he doesn't have to carry his burden by himself. (00:16:15 - 00:19:15)
30th Nov 2015
