Deliberate mistake: The Olympic symbol (of 5 inter-connected rings) is upside-down on the tracksuits the torch carriers are wearing near the end of the episode. It has 3 rings at the top, not 2.

The Show Where Woody Shows Up - S6-E13
Revealing mistake: Frasier and Woody look at the Seattle tourism book, and in particular a photo of the city. However, you can see there may be some text on the page, but there certainly isn't a photo.

Frasier (1993)

Continuity mistake: During the opening scene in the cafe, Roz is picking up and putting down her coffee & muffin, but all shots from behind show her holding the coffee.

The Simpsons (1989)
Continuity mistake: Near the start when Marge is putting jam on bread, she spreads it on the last piece but as she puts it on the plate it changes to a blob in the middle.

The Simpsons (1989)
The Old Man and the Lisa - S8-E21
Continuity mistake: Right at the start when Lisa says "I could still use more paper," the plastic can-rings she was holding vanish in the next shot.

Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
Continuity mistake: During the fight in Budd's trailer, the Bride tries to drown Elle in the toilet. As she's falling to the right, you can see that the magazines (that were previously on top of the tank) have somehow moved to the seat. An instant later, they're gone. (01:16:10 - 01:20:00)

Burns' Heir - S5-E18
Continuity mistake: The doughnut Homer later picks up isn't by the door when Lenny walks into Mr Burns' office, and we never see anyone put it there.

Frasier (1993)
Continuity mistake: There are several bad cuts between shots when Niles and Frasier are on the balcony. Keep an eye on the height of Niles' sherry glass. The most noticeable occurrence is when Niles mentions "detachment" and the shot changes. He is suddenly holding his glass at least a foot higher in the air.

How to Bury a Millionaire - S6-E7
Continuity mistake: When Martin is asleep reading a book, from one angle he is holding the book at the bottom and from another angle, at the top.

Friends (1994)
The One After Ross Says Rachel - S5-E1
Revealing mistake: When Chandler and Monica (and later Joey) are talking on the plane on the way back from London, the little display screen (showing a map of the Atlantic and coastlines) in front of Monica's seat shows the little grey plane indicating their position and direction. The plane is facing east, as though they are travelling towards London, but they are supposed to be flying back to New York. (00:14:45)

Frasier (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Ann says "Is that all bunny is going to eat," you can see a small piece of red food on Frasier's fork. When the shot changes and Frasier says "Bunny had a big Mexican lunch," the piece of food has gone.

The Simpsons (1989)
Continuity mistake: The location of the comet in the sky changes direction at several points. Whilst it's apparent size and altitude will of course change, the direction it is coming from cannot. As an example, it is seen looming over the power plant towers, but when Ned is on the hill, it's no longer there.

Frasier (1993)
Hot Ticket - S6-E4
Continuity mistake: When Trevor asks Frasier and Niles about "the hat scene," you can see Frasier's hands resting on the bar away from his glass. In the next shot, his hands are clasping his glass.

Frasier (1993)
Continuity mistake: After calling Martin the "Sultan of Brunei," Frasier grabs his wine glass with one hand on the top and walks out of the kitchen. In the next shot when he is coming out he is holding it by the neck and there was no time for him to change his grip.
11th Aug 2004
The Simpsons (1989)

Deliberate mistake: The mouth on the panda costume is in a constant smile and at no point does Homer change it, even when he is in pain. However, when he is being pulled back under the curtain the mouth is open and the mask has a frightened expression. I suppose this was done on purpose, but it's still a continuity error of sorts.

Frasier (1993)
A Man, a Plan and a Gal: Julia - S11-E2
Continuity mistake: During dinner, Niles is holding a box of cereal which rotates between shots at least twice almost instantly, with no time for him to do it.

Friends (1994)
The One With The Hypnosis Tape - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Just after Chandler has used the chapstick, in a shot from the side the stick is in his right hand, and then in the next shot he is instantly putting a tissue (which wasn't visible before) up to his lips, and the stick has moved to his left hand. (00:10:45)
6th Aug 2004
Frasier (1993)
Other mistake: Frasier seems jealous in this episode that Dr Webber went to Oxford, he even says, "Oh well, even better," in comparison to his own Harvard. However, in several other episodes we are told that Frasier got degrees from both Harvard and Oxford so why the jealously? Similarly in other episodes, he never mentions Oxford, only Harvard as where he went to University.

Frasier (1993)
Perspectives on Christmas - S5-E9
Continuity mistake: In the cafe, Roz says ".....because I've gotten so fat," and you see her lift her coffee cup to her face. In the next shot (largely of Frasier) you can just see the edge of the cup as she lifts it up again.
29th Jul 2004
Frasier (1993)
Continuity mistake: At the start, when they are discussing the show you can see that Martin is holding his coffee mug, but when it cuts and he says "It's your 1000th show," his hand is suddenly near his lap.
