Suggested correction: Sarah is standing beside Dr. Robbins when he finds the SIM card within what's left of Officer Clark's chest cavity, during autopsy (timecode 00:19:35). Dave wasn't even near Clark, he was with the corpses of Officers Morales and Hooper.

The Waltons (1972)
Revealing mistake: Throughout most of the episode, The Car is a standard black with chrome trimming. But at the end it's suddenly beige when Johnboy and the kids are polishing it for their first ride.

Suggested correction: At the end it's not "suddenly beige." Mid-episode Mary Ellen mentions a family project to, "Design you a new-looking car" and Erin adds, "We can paint it." Soon John-Boy says, "I'd like to paint it a nice dignified shade of tan." In the penultimate scene John-Boy drives Hyder and Martha Rudge back home. Time passes offscreen. It cuts to the final scene with Mary Ellen and Erin placing their new cut/sewn seat covers in the newly painted tan car, and nobody is "polishing it for their first ride."

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Emily is in crisis labor Dr. Mike sedates her and does a C section delivery. But Emily periodically regains consciousness during and after. Never once reacting to any pain from the cutting, which seems unlikely.

Family Affair (1966)
Revealing mistake: When Cissy is at the piano as Buffy sings and dances for Uncle Bill, only her arms move up and down instead of across the keys, indicating that's it's an off-camera person actually playing the tune. (00:16:30)

Family Affair (1966)
Arthur, the Invisible Bear - S2-E4
Audio problem: When the station wagon pulls into the mountain clearing there is no movement with the trees indicating they are on a sound studio, as some of the dialogue is acoustic. (00:24:00 - 00:24:30)

Roots (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Toby/Kunta encounters the British army captain (after strangling the overseer) most of his whipping scars are centered down his middle back, with a few marks on his shoulders. When in the prior episode, the whip struck mostly his lower left backside.

The Waltons (1972)
Audio problem: When Todd Cooper says "Good job" to Job-Bob while examining Jim-Bobs wooden plane int he boys' bedroom, it makes a very distinct echo that lingers for almost 30-sec, and then repeats very faintly in the next shot. (00:03:20)

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Factual error: Near the end, when Horace is delivering Lincoln's Declaration speech, Mike and Sully are talking, you can see their breath. Indicating this was shot during the winter, when it's supposed to be July 4th Independence Day.

Roots (1977)
Stupidity: When Kunte/Toby saws himself free from his leg irons, he removes only the one, and then runs off into the night, dragging the other one behind him, which makes no sense, and is quite audibly heard in the near distance.

The Brady Bunch (1969)
The Voice of Christmas - S1-E12
Revealing mistake: Carol's hair is quite noticeably shorter in an almost 'Twiggy' bob. When in the prior episode 'Vote for Brady' it was past her shoulders, curled into a very fashionable bubble flip. Not that she wouldn't have visited the stylist after the campaign. Just a very noticeable difference.

Suggested correction: The episodes were aired out of order, so this episode did not immediately follow the previous episode in production. Plus, this was a Christmas episode and Carol was preparing to sing in the holiday service, which is just one possible reason why she'd change her hairstyle.
