The Affair - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Matlock is talking to Harriet and Christina Harrison Ward after his attempt at re-enacting an alternative route for the murderer, Christina defends herself, saying, "But I was asleep." Matlock answers in the reverse shot, and you can see her pose with a hand in front of her chest that wasn't raised a moment before. (00:18:30)

The Affair - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Matlock is interviewing the kid poolside, she just came out of the water and wraps a towel around herself without as much as touching her own head. Still, in close-ups, her hair is somewhat dry. (00:14:30)

The Affair - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Ben Matlock rings the doorbell of the Harrison residence, he is standing with his hands behind his back while the door is opening. In the next shot, the door is still opening, but Andy Griffith is standing with his hands by his sides. (00:08:30)

The Affair - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When the stepson arrives at the villa, he makes his way to the front door, shoving aside reporters. Between his POV and the next shot, the same reporters move away in different ways, with different timing. (00:03:10)

Chapter One - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Perry comes to a realization about the case, putting together the various photos and clippings as TV detectives do. When he stands up from the floor, though, the pieces, however, change place (just look at the photo that partially covers the "Horror" headline in close-up, but is way below it in the overhead shot). (00:53:05)

The Stripper - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the (deliberately poorly lit) scene where Doug's friend hurts her hand, look at the moment when she picks up the shard of glass; it goes nowhere near the area where the bandage appears later. (00:26:10)

The Stripper - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Matlock walks by mistake inside the dressing room. Two girls with their bare backs to the camera stare back at him. We see Matlock close the door a moment later, and there's just a very much clothed girl where the two naked ladies would have been. (00:21:15)

The Stripper - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Ben and Charlene Matlock visit the precinct and give The Gift to the proud new daddy, Ben teases him, saying that it's so that the boy will dress better than his father. The guy acknowledges the joke, pointing at Matlock in a friendly way. Nothing in his hand, then all of a sudden he is holding a cigar. (00:06:00)

The Stripper - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Carla's kid at the beginning of the episode asks her to stay with her and sleep on the couch, "Please, Mum, please?" Notice the book in his hand change position between shots. (00:02:20)

Continuity mistake: Charlene comes back to the office after subpoenaing Piper Laurie. Ben is at his desk writing some notes. However, the pad turns 90° as the camera angles alternate. (00:19:50)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lockwood is on the stand, Matlock asks him if he is aware of ties with the "American Unified Finance Corporation." As he spells out the name of the company, he moves the side of his hand along the railing in small steps. However, there is a reverse shot in the middle of it where his arm is still and positioned at a different height. (01:24:20)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Paul Lockwood catches Charlene Matlock and the others at his plant and tells them they are trespassing, Ben eventually says, "Let's go." Lori Lethin pulls away from Andy Griffith two separate times in that shot and the next. (01:19:55)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Matlock starts implying that Mr. Banning is the one that tipped The Scandal reporters about his client, he clutches the stand with both hands and shuffles back and forth. As the line "frequently pay people to alert them" is spoken, transitioning to a different camera angle, he is all of a sudden no longer clinging to the railing corner. (01:11:15)

Sammo ★

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Matlock pretends he's done with Banning, the hotel desk clerk, he walks away from him. Richard Lineback has his hands in his lap in two different ways in the two separate shots, just beginning to stand twice in a row. (01:10:35)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Prosecutor Burton Hawkins shows People Exhibit B (the murder weapon), doing a fancy twirl, keeping his arm outstretched in the wide shot. His spin concludes in a narrower camera angle; this time, his arm is down. (01:04:15)
