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.
15th Nov 2024
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.
6th Nov 2024
I Love Lucy (1951)
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)
19th Oct 2024
The Waltons (1972)
Audio problem: Very audible slight 'echo' when Erin is talking with Mary Ellen in her bedroom about putting things off.
21st Sep 2024
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
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.

The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: When Elizabeth's horse takes the bad fall, Maryellen tells them it has a broken hoof. So they put the horse down instead of taking it to a nearby vet for help.
Suggested correction: This episode takes place in 1945. We see Mary Ellen look toward the mare's front (not hind) legs/joints, which are weight bearing; and when Mary Ellen tells Elizabeth about her mare, Molly, Mary Ellen's actual words are, "Elizabeth, it's her leg. It's broken. It's bad. We're gonna have to put her out of her misery." Viewers are not shown what Molly's "bad" break is, but with Mary Ellen's words, we know the break is severe, which was a death sentence for any horse. Just to add, it all completely depends on the location of the equine injury and the severity of the break/fracture. Nowadays, with modern advancements in equine veterinary care, (thankfully!) some severe breaks may not be a death sentence for a horse.

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
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.
15th Aug 2024
The Brady Bunch (1969)
The Hustler - S5-E21
Audio problem: There's an ominous mic echo when Bobby is talking with Mike's boss at the pool table, indicating this was filmed on a sound stage.
11th Aug 2024
I Love Lucy (1951)
Vacation from Marriage - S2-E6
Other mistake: The camera jostles badly when Lucy steps up on the board to cross the plank.
18th Jul 2024
The Waltons (1972)
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.
17th Jul 2024
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.
17th Jul 2024
The Waltons (1972)
The Starlet - S8-E6
Visible crew/equipment: Shadows from booms and camera corners are quite visible in several shots around Erin's office and the plant exterior as the "film crew" is shooting.
30th Jun 2024
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.
27th Jun 2024
The Brady Bunch (1969)
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).
27th Jun 2024
The Brady Bunch (1969)
Audio problem: There's a very echoey essence all throughout the episode like they're shooting in a cave.
17th Jun 2024
The Brady Bunch (1969)
Continuity mistake: Mike has just pulled into the driveway and honked, as the family waits excitedly for him to come in and share his great news. Then, a second later, he's coming around the counter to greet everyone, instead of a car door or patio shutting.
27th May 2024
The Waltons (1972)
Character mistake: When Rev. Andy visits Elizabeth at the bridge to talk, the buttons of his shirt are too far down, revealing his chest hairs, which would be most inappropriate for a minister.
9th May 2024
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Continuity mistake: Jake is ordered to remove the children (Colleen and Brian) from the courtroom, and escorts them outside. Yet as Dr. Mike resumes her protest to the judge, Jake is suddenly back in his frontal seat as Bailiff.
