I Love Lucy (1951)

The Sublease - S3-E30

Character mistake: Or continuity: When Ricky enters the Mertz's apartment, waking everyone up, little Ricky starts crying in the crib, and Ricky moves closer and accidentally says, 'Why is she awake?' instead of 'he,' as his own baby daughter Lucie was almost 2 at the time.

Suggested correction: The issue was due to his accent; several times during the course of the show, when Rickey said "he," it sounded like "she."

The Waltons (1972)

The Revel - S9-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When Mamie and Emily are dancing together near the end, stepping around the balloons on the floor, a few get deliberately 'tossed' up behind Mamie's shoulder by an obvious cameraman off-screen.

I Love Lucy (1951)

The Abduction (1) - S2-E22

Stupidity: After Walks on Cloud releases Dr Mike, she runs off and hides in a wild thicket as the Dog Soldiers and One Eye look around the area for her. A pair of buckskin are then seen scoping the area, then walking off as Dr Mike leaves her hiding spot and gets 'surprised' by One Eye, who knocks her out. She should have known better and stayed put until sunrise, as Sully taught her when it came to the Cheyenne war parties.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Lucy's Club Dance - S3-E24

Character mistake: After Ethel chooses the ladies who'll play instruments for their own orchestra, Fred enters the Ricardo apartment with muffs over his ears as off-key plucky piano is heard in the background, indicating Ethel is playing very badly, when in all prior episodes she played fluently for any of their show warm-up numbers.

Legend - S5-E9

Character mistake: As Preston is calling Sully on the sheriff situation, Loren enters, brandishing a new rifle to Preston, almost right over the baby's carriage. No way in tomorrow would Dr Mike or Sully have allowed this to happen, but have aimed the firearm in another direction, or at least Sully move in front, away from the baby's carriage.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined - S3-E10

Other mistake: When the eye doctor has Lucy repeat the same letters on the eye chart that she claims Ricky got all wrong, she repeats the same letters out loud, then moves closer to the eye chart and repeats the same letters out loud, then pauses in error when she read them all off correctly: P E C F D.

The Mask (1994)

Visible crew/equipment: When Cuban Pete and the police crowd start doing the boom-chickie line move, the boom is moving around in the very top of the screen.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Equal Rights - S3-E3

Factual error: While dining out, Ricky proceeds to shave with his electric razor plugged in on the floor by the table. Purely a studio convenience, not reality; strictly for laughs.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Ricky's Life Story - S2-E30

Other mistake: When Lucy tosses the umbrella off the balcony during the Mexican serenade, Ricky somehow doesn't appear to hear it hitting the floor during the pause and keeps on singing. (00:23:30)

The Waltons (1972)

The Comfort of Friends - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When Michaela enters the homestead after handing Katie off to Matthew, it immediately cuts to her in the master bedroom upstairs, pouring water into the bowl to splash on her face, as she suffers another pregnancy attack when she wouldn't have been able to manage climbing the stairs in her delicate condition.

Traveling All-Stars - S4-E2

Audio problem: The audio goes weird when Loren stands up to show the townsfolk the Travelin' All Stars sign during the meeting, from half-muted to full to half-muted again, like he's obviously wearing a body mic in the wrong spot instead of being under a boom.

The Waltons (1972)

The Lost Sheep - S8-E8

Other mistake: When Erin leaves The House to go with Ashley Jr., Elizabeth states to the kid that it's 3 a.m. When Ashley stops The Car to propose to Erin moments later, it is sunrise between the trees or early daylight, meaning this was a moment shot in different increments.

The Waltons (1972)

The Pin-Up - S7-E17

Stupidity: After Erin leaves with the military captain to Camp Lee, John and Maryellen turn around to see John Curtiss nowhere around on the porch where Maryellen left him. So John goes off to look for him, while Maryellen goes in to check The House. John Curtiss is a one-year-old baby who couldn't open a door.

A Chorus Line (1985)

Other mistake: Between the audition cuts and the finals, some of the kept dancers are not keeping sync with the music.

The Brady Bunch (1969)

Out of This World - S5-E16

Other mistake: Near the end, when the police chief "sees" the fake UFO, he picks up the phone and dials 3 numbers and immediately speaks to said caller instead of the operator or asking for an extension.

Suggested correction: Maybe he dialled 911 as an emergency. He even told the person on the phone to "alert the defence command immediately" (or something like that).
