Other mistake: To go from Wichita, KS, to Chicago, they would go NE through KS, Missouri, Illinois. Kentucky is NOT on the route. They are pulled over by Kentucky State Police (Lenny). But this is the trip from Hell. Maybe they took the L O N G way East to Paducah, then back North to Chicago.

Good Times (1974)
Continuity mistake: In this episode, the doctor says that JJ still has his tonsils; in "The Gang Pt 2", it is mentioned that JJ had his tonsils removed.

Laverne & Shirley (1976)
The Bardwell Caper (2) - S6-E16
Visible crew/equipment: When Lenny and Squiggy dressed as trees are standing guard, and the dog comes up, you can see the dog trainer's shadow on the building to the left of Squiggy giving hand gestures to the dog as it starts to bark.

Married... with Children (1987)
Deliberate mistake: Why would Al have his Polk High football uniform in England?
Suggested correction: Al cherishes his memories as a high school football player. It's quite possible that he takes the uniform with him on some trips, especially when going to another country. I've known people who do this with items that are important to them; i.e. a jewellery box or a favourite picture of family. They feel better keeping the item with them, in case something happens at home while they are away.

The Waltons (1972)
Continuity mistake: All of the children, even John and Olivia, seem to have reddish/auburn hair. Their natural hair colors are used in later seasons.

Rocky (1976)
Revealing mistake: During the fight, it appears that the filming is done in FF to make it more dramatic. If you look at the movement of the crowd, it seems to be sped up. Still, masterfully done on a low budget.

Rocky (1976)
Audio problem: When Rocky is in the locker room with Spider after the first fight, Spider supposedly says (according to subtitles and closed captioning), "Hey. You really got lucky," but that's an obvious post-production overdub. His lips are saying "sometimes".

Jumanji (1995)
Continuity mistake: Peter says he only needed a 10 to win. Impossible. He has only rolled a 2 and 5 (in the attic).
26th Jul 2023
Jumanji (1995)
Other mistake: Judy tells Sarah, "You can win if you roll a 12." She rolls 3, meaning she would need a nine to win. When trapped in the floor, she is told she needs a 7 to win. But that is not correct. If I count correctly, you need 32 spots to win. I don't know if any get 32 or more.
Suggested correction: There are cross sections on the board. Meaning probably, if they land on one, the pawn will go in a different direction and either take longer or shorter to get to the end. It's impossible to know what path the pawns did take. The total number of squares is either 21, 26, or 30 squares to reach the end, depending on the route the pawn takes. But possibly even longer if the game wants that, as the pawns move on their own.

Bewitched (1964)
Hippie, Hippie, Hooray - S4-E21
Plot hole: Why would Serena need Samantha to zap her out of jail? Serena is a witch and very tricky.
20th Jul 2023
Bewitched (1964)
Samantha Goes South for a Spell - S5-E2
Other mistake: Serena tells Darrin that Samantha won't know him back in the 19th century New Orleans because she hadn't been born yet. In Aunt Clara's Victoria Victory, we know Samantha was alive in the 19th century because she and Endora were "in Tibet at the time."
20th Jul 2023
Bewitched (1964)
Samantha Goes South for a Spell - S5-E2
Other mistake: Darrin doesn't recognise Serena posing as Samantha. We know from "That Was No Chick, That Was My Wife" that he can tell the difference. This happens in several episodes.

Bewitched (1964)
George Washington Zapped Here (1) - S8-E21
Trivia: The George Washington Zapped Here episodes are nearly 100% identical to the Season 3 My Friend Ben/Sam for the Defense episodes. The dialogue is the same in the trial scenes.
25th Jun 2023
Bewitched (1964)
Samantha and the Troll - S7-E19
Trivia: The troll in this episode is the same costume in the Season 3 Halloween episode when Tabitha turns her "friends from my book" to her Trick or Treat friends, and Gladys' nephew Tommy gets switched.
20th Jun 2023
Bewitched (1964)
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Darrin announces that he doesn't like cream in his coffee. In season 2, "The Joker is a Card," Darrin likes cream in his coffee, and Uncle Arthur zaps a cow into the living room.
10th Jun 2023
Bewitched (1964)
Continuity mistake: At the statue, with the ocean in the background, the white fishing boat appears and disappears between shots.
10th Jun 2023
Bewitched (1964)
Other mistake: When Larry is in the living room asking where Darrin is, before Darrin is zapped back, the kitchen door is opened and closing. Nobody is in the home or in the kitchen. The door shouldn't be opening. Likely, a crew member was exiting the living room and the editors did not catch the door swinging.

Bewitched (1964)
Samantha's Hot Bed Warmer (2) - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Samantha's purse is on the couch. It is initially lying flat with handles up on the back of the couch. When the officers are let into the room, the purse position changes. It is now standing upright.
10th Jun 2023
The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Continuity mistake: In earlier episodes, we are told that Gomer can't do mechanic work. He just pumps gas and air: "There's no charge for air; air is free; we don't make no charge for air." But in this episode, Gomer has become an ace master mechanic.
10th Jun 2023
Bewitched (1964)
Salem, Here We Come (2) - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: The demerit rod disappears when Hepzibah is in the living room. The camera goes to a wide shot and then returns when Darrin gets his final demerits.
