Other mistake: Officer Marvin Sandeford has 25 years plus on the job as an NYPD Officer. He was on the job during 9/11, but he doesn't wear the WTC (World Trade Center) commemorative WTC bar above his badge on his uniform, which is a mark of honor for the NYPD. (00:39:27)

Blue Bloods (2010)
Cellar Boy - S1-E21
Stupidity: Jamie is driving his Chevelle SS when he realises that he has no brakes. He's driving on a flat road. The car is an automatic transmission, and he doesn't shift the car out of Drive and into Neutral to stop the power and forward movement of the car. Instead, he shifts the car into Low before crashing the car into a Jersey barrier. (00:48:27 - 00:48:57)
18th Apr 2023
Blindspotting (2021)
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: S2/E1 Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: Ashley smoked her cigarette down to the filter with no white cigarette showing but in the next frame there's white cigarette showing. (00:11:23)
2nd Apr 2023
The Sopranos (1999)
Other mistake: In season 5 episode 7, Tony is talking about JFK, and said he was in grammar school when it happened. However, in this episode Tony celebrates his 47th birthday. He was probably born in 1960, so he would have been no more than 3 years old and not in grammar school when JFK was president. (00:26:36 - 00:38:02)
2nd Apr 2023
Chicago Fire (2012)
Stupidity: Mouch is investigating an arson allegation. He states to a lady he's going to do his thing and speak to some of the residents. As he goes down the hall to speak with the residents he passes a huge stain on the carpet that looks like blood or something and walks right past it without stopping. (00:23:57)
29th Mar 2023
FBI: International (2021)
Stupidity: Hungarian Police Lieutenant Benedeke Erdös has broken right arm in a cast. Although his arm is in a cast, he is still in uniform and carrying his firearm in a holster on his right side. There's no way he can draw the weapon or secure it. (00:20:45 - 00:21:19)
28th Mar 2023
The Sopranos (1999)
Irregular Around the Margins - S5-E5
Continuity mistake: At the hospital waiting in the car for the emergency room doctor it's pouring rain. However, when Tony and Tony B get out to talk with the doctor it's not raining and starts to rain once they get back into the car. (00:42:24)
28th Mar 2023
The Sopranos (1999)
Irregular Around the Margins - S5-E5
Other mistake: The Soprano crew takes Christopher out to a cornfield to talk some sense into him or whack him. It's raining and the ground is wet but only Tony B is getting wet. (00:41:18)
26th Mar 2023
Georgetown (2019)
Other mistake: Elsa Brecht is holding an official piece of mail sent from the Coconut Grove Hotel in Miami but it's postmarked Orlando, Florida. There's no legitimate reason the mail would be postmarked Orlando when Orlando is 235 miles from Miami. (01:24:16)
25th Mar 2023
I Love Lucy (1951)
The Ricardos Visit Cuba - S6-E9
Trivia: In Uncle Alberto's favorite cigar store, there is a Puerto Rico poster on the wall. Since the episode aired in 1957, it was a bit of foreshadowing promoting the migration of Cubans to Puerto Rico ahead of Fidel Castro's revolution in 1959. (00:17:11)
26th Feb 2023
Blue Bloods (2010)
Character mistake: Eddie is confronted by Captain McNichols after being caught in her office. Eddie responds by calling her Sarge, which is an incorrect title remark referring to a Captain. (00:38:46)
21st Feb 2023
Blue Bloods (2010)
Stupidity: Linda suffers a gunshot while in the hospital. The doctor calls for a trauma team that responds immediately to take her to surgery. The next time Linda is shown the trauma team is still taking her to surgery through the hospital hallways, and the whole Reagan family made it to the hospital and in the hallway as Linda is being taken to surgery. The hospital hallways must be long or the trauma team took the long way to surgery to allow the family to be there. (00:03:28 - 00:05:57)
17th Feb 2023
Blue Bloods (2010)
On the Arm - S12-E11
Character mistake: Lt. Gormley mentions a Captain (Captain Terrell) taking items On the Arm that is a 33-year veteran. Captain Terrell tells the PC that when she was 12 her brother was wounded in Iraq. If she has 33 years on The Job, there's no way she could have been 12 during the war in Iraq. The Vietnam War would have been more appropriate for the age and background of Captain Terrell. (00:00:21 - 00:14:33)
27th Jan 2023
SEAL Team (2017)
Fair Winds and Following Seas - S6-E10
Factual error: The grave headstone for Benjamin Bellerow states Master SGT US Navy. There are no Sergeants in the Navy, only Chiefs. If the rank was correct it should have read US Marine Corps, US Army or US Air Force. (00:19:08)
26th Jan 2023
Blue Bloods (2010)
Other mistake: Jamie and Eddie respond to a carjacking of a minivan. They are across the street and Eddie claims there's a baby seat in the car. There's no possible way that she could see if a baby seat was in the car. The minivan had dark tinted windows and only the driver's door was open. (00:05:00)
20th Jan 2023
Chicago P.D. (2014)
Factual error: Kevin sleeps overnight at woman's apartment. He doesn't share that he's a cop. The next morning in his unmarked police vehicle he uses his handheld radio that was appeared to be stored in the console and shows up on a violent scene with his weapon. It's obvious that Kevin used his official vehicle for personal reasons, and stored his radio and weapon in the vehicle unprotected overnight, which every police officer knows is wrong and a violation. (00:03:53 - 00:04:29)
7th Jan 2023
Law & Order: Organized Crime (2021)
Character mistake: Stabler calls for an LPR check on a vehicle. The description of the vehicle he gives is for white Mazda Sentra. Mazda doesn't make a Sentra. Nissan makes the Sentra. (00:09:45)
4th Jan 2023
Profile (2018)
Other mistake: While Amy speaks with Bilel through Skype, each time Bilel is in the Internet cafe the same guy is sitting behind him.
4th Jan 2023
Blue Bloods (2010)
Character mistake: Officer Rachel Witten tells Eddie the gun she has belonged to her dad when he was on The Job. In episode 15 of season 8 Gormley tells Frank that Witten's dad was a FDNY Battalion Chief and her uncles were police officers. In episode 12 of season 9 Officer Witten's dad Sgt. Scott Witten speaks to Frank about being on The Job. It's unlikely and not normal for someone to become a firefighter after being a police officer or vice versa or do both jobs.

Blue Bloods (2010)
Parenthood - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: In his office with Garrett, Frank reaches for his cup of coffee twice, and moves his foil-wrapped breakfast sandwich from the top of a stack of blue folders to the top of a newspaper. However, in the next shot, the egg sandwich is back on top of the stack of blue folders. (00:06:15)
