South Park (1997)
Continuity mistake: When the perv runs into the studio (thinking it's a house), he runs into the Dateline show and runs half way down the stairs. However, when he shoots himself in the head, he falls down two stairs. But in the wide shot, he's at the bottom of the stairs. If it was in the middle of the stairs he should be one step higher.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: At The End of "Nanarchy", Kochanski's hair is brown. However, throughout series 8, her hair is blonde. And with everything going on in "Nanarchy" there would have been nowhere near enough time for her to dye it.

Other mistake: An option for the new computer is breast size. A meaningless addition, since the computer is just a head. (00:07:35)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: When setting up the computer, there is an option for frame size. Kryten chooses close up, and when Pree appears on-screen Rimmer reacts to the fact that her breasts aren't visible whilst Kryten says that he likes that frame size. Presumably, there were other frame sizes available that would reveal more of Pree's body, giving meaning to the option.

The Simpsons (1989)
Trivia: During the couch gag, the Simpsons run through different places (as spoofs of different TV shows). One of the places they run through is the bar from Cheers. When they all sit down, Sideshow Bob walks through the door. Kelsey Grammer does the voice of Sideshow Bob, and starred as Doctor Frasier Crane in Cheers.

Family Guy (1999)
Continuity mistake: The age difference between Chris, Meg and Stewie keeps changing throughout the series. At the beginning of the series, Chris is 13, Meg is 15 and Stewie is 1 (he is after S1 E3 Chitty Chitty Death Bang). In series 4, Chris then goes to high school so he must be 14 by that time. It isn't referenced that Meg has aged between series 1 and series 5 until S5 E10 Peter's Two Dads where she turns 17, so she must have turned 16 during the past five seasons. Despite Meg having aged two years throughout the series, Chris remains having only aged one year since S4 (Age 14 referenced in S9 E13 Trading Places). Then in S10 E10 Meg & Quagmire, Meg then turns 18, and still Chris hasn't aged. Also, Stewie remains one year old after all of Chris and Meg's birthdays. If it were consistent, Meg would be now 18, Chris would now be 16 (not 14) and Stewie would now be 4 (not 1).

Factual error: Cartman flies from state to state. When Cartman reaches Ohio, the time says 5:00pm CST (Central Standard Time). However, if that was Ohio, it should have said 5:00pm EST (Eastern Standard Time).

Continuity mistake: Cartman walks into his house and can't remember the code to turn off the alarm, so he gets a call from the security company.
