Revealing mistake: When Skipper is sneezing after Gilligan showered, he turns towards the wardrobe. As he sneezes, in a "blink and you miss it" moment, the line pulling up the bottom of the green cloth is momentarily visible, pulling from the upper right corner of the screen.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: When the camera looks at Lt. Clark, her rank insignia is horizontal. It should set from the apex (point) of the stitching diagonally (top end toward her face).

M*A*S*H (1972)
Continuity mistake: When the pit boss is taking the rolled up 5 containing the pair of dice out of his pocket, his fingers are hiding the end toward Mulcahy. When the camera angle changes, the fingers are moved so Mulcahy can see the hidden dice.

Other mistake: Mary Ann comes up to the Skipper while he's learning to juggle. If you look closely, the coconut bounces on the ground a couple of inches from his left foot. When Gilligan approaches, the coconut bounces off the bottom shelf. And in both times, the Skipper reacted in pain.

Continuity mistake: When Ginger holds up the Three of Clubs, her fingers are covering the bottom Club on the card. When the shot cuts to her in close up, her fingers are behind the card, with her thumb partially covering the bottom 3.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
Other mistake: When Gilligan and the ape are staring at each other, with the idea that the ape will stay hypnotized and ignore everything else, look closely at the ape's eyes. The actor in the suit glances twice and the Skipper and Professor as they pass.

Revealing mistake: When the Professor comes over to the Robot to ask "How would you like to do us a favor?", look closely at the mesh like part of the Robot's "face", just left of the vertical black bar. You can see the Robot actor's eye blinking and looking around. When he nods, you can see the outline of the actor's head.
