Encounter at Farpoint (1) - S1-E1

The Addams Family (1964)
The Addams Family and the Spaceman - S1-E27
Other mistake: In this episode, the radio announcer said that the reported spacecraft was seen over the Cemetery Ridge District, and Morticia said "That's our area." However, in "Cousin It Visits The Addams Family" (S1: Ep 20) they are supposedly in the Greenbriar Woodlawn District.

Space: 1999 (1975)
Other mistake: After the alien probe emits atmosphere on the surface, there's suddenly full gravity, as evidenced by the first two people walking normally. There was no mention of full gravity on the Moon's surface, as all walking before was in microgravity.

19th Feb 2022
Batman (1966)
Other mistake: When Mr. Freeze is moving through the room evaluating the diamonds, the tanks on his back can be fire extinguishers. There is no way that the "weapon" attached by hose to them will work, as the handles have to be squeezed to discharge.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Good-Bye Radar: Part 2 - S8-E5
Other mistake: As the camera cuts to Hawkeye and Margaret working, the man behind her is holding a chest X-ray, but it's upside down, which would be useless as a guide.

Other mistake: When Lou and Cindy-Lou come home, Betty asks Cindy-Lou to unscrew the bulb in the refrigerator. A few moments later, Lou answers the phone, and repeats the question "Is my Sub-Zero Chillabrator running." Betty seems to have used an un-Who like term.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Other mistake: After getting on aboard the dirigible, Henry is holding a German newspaper when addressing Indy. But he'd have a hard time reading it as it's upside down. Even if he's just trying to hide, holding an upside-down newspaper would draw the attention of suspicious guards.

Suggested correction: Henry Jones Sr. doesn't have his glasses in this scene. He can't really see anything on the newspaper, that's why he is holding it upside down.
I'd say that, more than anything, a hasty attempt to blend in would be more likely the culprit. Even without the spectacles, Henry, being the fastidious person he is, would have righted the paper, with or without eyewear.
But since he couldn't see the letters, how would he have righted the newspaper (or even noticed it was upside down)?
Ipon! (Japanese for "point.") I can see your point; however, I would ask that the following be considered: that there is usually more than just letters and words in newsprint. Even if not viewed, pictures are good indicators of the newspaper's orientation.
