The Most Dangerous Match - S2-E7

Other mistake: The police photographer takes a picture of the garbage grinder. His camera has a flash, and the photo is indoors, but the flash does not fire.

Fanning the Flames - S5-E5

Factual error: The crash took place in 1987. When we hear about the American salvage company that was hired to find the wreckage, we see a scene of traffic in Washington, DC that has a model of Lincoln Town Car that was not produced until 1998.

Phantom Strike - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: Several times we see the Legacy jet from the outside. The windows are square. When we see them from the inside, they are oval. As a matter of fact, no jet has square windows. That mistake was learned with the crash of a de Havilland Comet in 1954. It had square windows which concentrated the strain on the skin of the plane, causing it to fail and crash.

Episode #8.5 - S8-E5

Other mistake: We are told several times that the "Special Reserve" is kept locked in Mr. Palmer's office. When Anna comes to the bar to "see" it (and put the poison in it), it is in plain sight on the shelf behind the bar, and her husband hands it to her.

Little Green Men and a Fella's Marriage Proposal - S6-E18

Character mistake: When Dr. Bell examines baby Constance, she has the stethoscope in her ears facing backwards. Also, when Sheldon and the professors are looking at the data from the telescope, Dr. Linkletter says "what about that" and Dr. Prakash says "no, that's within the standard deviation." That doesn't make sense.

Episode #8.2 - S8-E2

Other mistake: Paulie takes off his blood-soaked shirt at the laundry. His undershirt is clean. It should also be covered in blood.

Ransom for a Dead Man - S1-E1

Factual error: When Mrs. Williams takes Columbo flying, she does some aerobatics. Neither of them is wearing a seatbelt. No pilot would do that.

Leicaman

Undercover - S12-E3

Continuity mistake: When Krutch speaks to Columbo on the phone about 40 minutes into the show, his voice sounds like he has a cold. Earlier and later in the show, his voice doesn't sound like that.

Leicaman

A Trace of Murder - S13-E2

Trivia: When Columbo is leaving Kinsley's office, he says, "I set that up for tomorrow. That'll be good. You and me together, Pat. Three eyes are better than one." This is a nod to Peter Falk (Columbo) having only one eye, having lost one to retinoblastoma when he was three years old.

Leicaman

Independent Dependents - S1-E7

Plot hole: When Helen goes into the air ducts, she simply removes the grates. They would not be loose like that, they would be firmly attached. When the team enters the basement they go through an ordinary door by picking an ordinary lock. A very high security installation like Axe Industries would not have such an insecure entry, even into the basement.

Two Hundred Dollars and a Bus Pass - S1-E8

Stupidity: Two police officers and a physician find an injured woman in a lab. The officers attend to the woman while the physician calls for EMTs. Wouldn't it be better if the physician looked after the injured person while the officers called for help?

Leicaman

Blueprint for Murder - S1-E8

Character mistake: Columbo talks to the cardiologist. The doctor gives him information about his patient, Mr. Williamson. Columbo has no warrant, so the doctor is violating privilege. He wouldn't give that information to Columbo.

Leicaman

Murder with Too Many Notes - S13-E4

Other mistake: In the movie within the story the murderer repeatedly stabs the victim and pulls back the knife. Even after several stabs there is no blood on the knife. (00:02:25 - 00:05:45)

Leicaman

Character mistake: Gene Wilder as the rabbi leaves the Torah on the floor of the porch of the home of the synagogue president. A rabbi would never put a Torah on the ground.

Leicaman

Dead Weight - S1-E4

Other mistake: Columbo goes into a diner and has a bowl of chili. The cook asks if he wants his coffee black. Later he asks if he wants cream and sugar in his coffee.

Leicaman

Episode #7.5 - S7-E5

Trivia: The Matron is called Fletcher. Louise Fletcher played the chief nurse (and a similar character) in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

Leicaman

Jobs and Hangouts - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When the boys are playing at Norman's father's apartment, we see a ball hit a lamp to the left of the sofa, denting the lampshade. We see the lamp fall and hear it shatter. Later we see the intact lamp back on the table.

Leicaman

No Time to Die - S11-E2

Other mistake: When Melissa sends Andy to have a shower we see that there are several sets of clothing in the closet. We see them again in her flashback when she awakes after being kidnapped. They have just arrived in the Bridal (Empire) Suite, and are leaving very early the next morning for their honeymoon. Why would those clothes be in the closet?

Leicaman

Country Dean - S1-E14

Factual error: Bessie says she was going to study veterinary medicine at Texas A and M. That would have been approximately 1940. Neither women nor people of colour were admitted to TAMU until 1963 so she could not have even been able to apply.

Leicaman

Kiss/Maach - S2-E14

Factual error: Hazel comes to wake Al and says it is 5:00 am. The sun coming through the windows shows it is at least 30 minutes past sunrise. They are in Columbus, Ohio, where the sun never rises at 4:30.
