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.

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
Other mistake: Between the audition cuts and the finals, some of the kept dancers are not keeping sync with the music.
27th Jun 2024
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
Audio problem: There's a very echoey essence all throughout the episode like they're shooting in a cave.
17th Jun 2024
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
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
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.
9th May 2024
Plot hole: Worst writing of any episode. Mike is more than familiar (and associated) with public law and certain rights, given her position as a licensed physician, and the factor that she herself, and members of her extended family are lawyers or in knowledge. Yet Ethan is able to trip her up repeatedly during the course of this trial, incl. 'lack of proofs' etc. Whence Mike should have been able to rest her case without worry or thwart.
9th May 2024
Plot hole: In any court case, as applies to this, an "objection" would be applied and sustained or overruled in parlance to Ethan's defamations of Mike. Yet is never once is it called by the judge or anyone appointed including Jake (which by his ignorance of the law perhaps applied).
10th Apr 2024
Other mistake: When the frog jumps on the pizza (during Greg and Rachel's date), the gooey cheese mess resembles more superimposed tacky glue than actual melted cheese.
5th Apr 2024
Audio problem: When the husband (Hector Elizondo) is seated in the barber chair, he's heard talking to the kid, but his lips aren't moving. An obvious audio sync issue.
1st Apr 2024
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, when the Jamaican hustler on the street is 'informed' that his services are no longer needed, the girl sticks the gun to the side of his head, and blood spurts out from his head right as the shot is fired, instead of after.

Where the Heart Is (1) - S2-E6
Factual error: During the arrival at Beacon Hill, Colleen tells the girls during tea that the streets in Colorado Springs are all dirt, not the cobblestones as corrected by one of the girls (when Colleen referred to the Boston streets as rocks). When, in fact, several road scenes around Boston in several scenes are dirt or dried mud.
14th Mar 2024
Continuity mistake: When Verdi is sitting on Josh's bed, talking to him about being a man, the medium shot has her face tilted to the left. But in the immediately close-up, it's suddenly to the right as she finishes her comment.
12th Mar 2024
Continuity mistake: At times Ricky wears his gold wedding band, and other times - especially at the Tropicana - it is missing from his finger.
Suggested correction: So he took it off while performing. I googled images of Desi and Lucy and you can see he wore a wedding band in real life. Therefore, taking it off while filming would have been a deliberate choice. It's only a mistake if the band appears and disappears within a scene.

The Benefit - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: There's suddenly an upright piano in the living room where Ricky's desk used to be.
Suggested correction: There's nothing sudden about it. The rearranging of furniture between episodes occurs often, and would only be a problem if it happens within a scene. From the very start of this episode, the card table is already at the center of the living room, with the couch pushed back toward the wall, and the desk is behind the couch (holding telephone, etc), up against the wall where the piano usually is in other episodes. Ethel asks Ricky about the sheet music on the piano, and he explains he's been working on a musical number for the show at the Tropicana. So, for this episode's ongoing musical storyline, the positions of the piano and desk have been switched. Nothing whatsoever makes it a revealing mistake. This occurs again a few episodes later in Breaking the Lease.
10th Mar 2024
The Adagio - S1-E12
Character mistake: Lucy turns in for the night in full makeup and lipstick, instead of washing up.
10th Mar 2024
The Adagio - S1-E12
Visible crew/equipment: Crew member shadow is visible at the foot of Ricky's bed near the end.
8th Mar 2024
Continuity mistake: The phone in the foyer of the Simon house is a dial pad, but changes to a rotary more than halfway through.
