Revealing mistake: As Data looks at the information on Dixon Hill, as the computer flash feeds, you can see that it's all the same block of information starting with the title of the first novel, which is the title of the episode, "The Big Goodbye."

M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: General Clayton is wearing ribbons on his regular fatigues. This is incorrect as the ribbons would only be displayed on the dress uniforms. Only the officer's rank would be on the fatigues.

The Addams Family (1964)
Question: Ted (Lurch) Cassidy was a total of six feet nine inches tall. A number of times, especially in Season 2 Episode 6, "Cousin Itt's Problem", it seems the top of his head barely clears to top of the door jamb. Were the doors seven feet tall back then?

The Addams Family (1964)
Revealing mistake: As Fester looks at the mirror, it shatters. After he asks a question, it falls off the wall. After it does, you can see what appears to be someone's fingers pushing from the other side to knock the mirror down. That spot on the wall is obviously fabric covering a hole.

The Addams Family (1964)
Uncle Fester's Toupee - S1-E31
Other mistake: Bad editing shows up a couple times in this episode. Once when Max goes to ring the doorbell. As he reaches for it, it moves out and in on its own and he moves with it. As he does, its easy to see the film is run back and forth. The second time is when he reacts to the news of Kitty. He flinches, and his toupee slips over his face, then the film is run backwards so it goes back.

Sanford and Son (1972)
Trivia: Throughout the series, a number of times Fred mentions "Pluto water." It was a popular strongly laxative natural water product that was sold until 1971, when production and sales halted because lithium, one of the mineral salts, was declared a controlled substance. Sanford and Son debuted in 1972, so Fred couldn't have had this product throughout the series.

The Addams Family (1964)
The Addams Family Meets the Undercover Man - S1-E16
Audio problem: Ted Cassidy (Lurch) was an accomplished organist. However, when he "played" the Harpsichord, he was only miming the actions. When Lurch is playing while Gomez and Morticia are fencing the music doesn't match the movements of his hands.

Jason X (2001)
Other mistake: As Jason wrestles around with the kid on his back his left eye opens some and his real eye can be seen. However, the eye was removed during the examination at the beginning.

12th Nov 2016
The Addams Family (1964)
Other mistake: As Fester goes to shoot Gomez, his aim strays upward to about a 45 to 50° angle. Not enough to shoot the support chain on the light that is directly above him, and hits him on the head.

Continuity mistake: As Fester gets a pistol from the drawer, there is an assortment of items in the drawer, and he leaves it open. A moment later, he goes to exchange guns, the drawer is closed and suddenly bare, except for the other pistol.

Chosen answer: Being that this was filmed in a TV studio, the set would have been specially designed and built to accommodate Cassidy's height. Also, I live in an older house (100 years-old), and all the inner and outer doors are eight feet tall.
