Other mistake: On the beginning, the butterfly Beasley calls the Pussycat Swallowtail is yellow. Later it's orange. Also, when Beasley holds the cage with the painted butterfly, you can see the wires making the puppet move.

Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Other mistake: The book the professor is supposedly reading radiation information from has an odd decoration on the cover over the title. It is actually technical manual TM 9-729 for the M24 Chaffee Light Tank.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
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.

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.

Other mistake: The Communal Hut is built in the clearing, and has a dirt floor. When Skipper and Gilligan check outside, it's floating in the lagoon. But that suggests it had a wooden floor.

The Secret of Gilligan's Island - S3-E25
Other mistake: At the end, the Professor and Skipper walk up on Gilligan, who's busy chiseling a message on a stone. Look carefully, because he's hitting the chisel, but the tip never touches the stone, and the 'E' in 'HOME SWEET HOME' (the message Gilligan is working on) is plainly visible.

Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Other mistake: The spot where the coconut Gilligan tosses goes through is rounded, the suddenly squared in the close up. The wall in general is differently colored than the rest of the hut.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
Pass the Vegetables, Please - S3-E3
Other mistake: After Gilligan gets up to take the sand to Mary Ann, the camera closes in on the box lid. After it does, the picture goes into a freeze frame because the ripples in the water of the lagoon stop dead still for the few seconds until the dissolve into the next scene.

Other mistake: As Mary Ann pedals to power the sewing machine, the bobbin only clicks back and forth, giving the illusion of real movement.
