Invasion of the Punk Frogs - S2-E8
Plot hole: Shredder meets the frogs for the first time and gives them clothes using the holographic projector. The frogs continue to wear the same clothes for the rest of the episode, even without Shredder being around.
Continuity mistake: The turtle van falls on a bridge, the turtles escape swimming. Shortly afterwards, April appears driving the van, looking for the turtles.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When Irma meets the disguised Turtles at the subway station, Irma speed-talks her explanation of April's situation. Mikey then tells Irma, "Rewind that and play it back at normal speed," as he raises his right arm, with his left hand in his trench coat pocket; the newsstand is missing in this closeup as well. It cuts to a wide shot, and now it's Mikey's left arm raised in the air (also note his orange wristband is missing).

Continuity mistake: The watch on Irma's left wrist repeatedly appears or disappears between shots, as well as mid-shot, and it even switches to her right wrist. Two examples: at the subway station, Irma walks toward the Turtles, and her watch switches from her right wrist to her left; when Irma finally meets her "dream man," the "hunky Splinter guy" in the sewer lair, her watch vanishes.

Other mistake: When April locates Shredder's lair, as she approaches the matter transporter, April's white boots clip through the transporter platform before she steps up onto it.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: After April ends the interview with the contest winner, when Vernon says, "Ok, that's a wrap," he's wearing headphones without an antenna, but in the next shot an antenna suddenly appears at Vernon's left earpiece, then promptly disappears.

Other mistake: When the Turtles finally reach April's apartment window via the fire escape, as they approach Irma at the couch, Raph's legs clip right through the coffee table and the vase with flowers.

Other mistake: After Shredder transports Bebop and Rocksteady back to his lair, he joins them on the transporter platform. Shredder then demands to know the exact location of the TMNT hiding place. When Rocksteady mutters, "And then, umm, we went that way," both Shredder and Bebop partly step off the transporter platform, so they're partially standing in mid-air.

Continuity mistake: After April complains to Vernon about doing stupid human interest stories, April walks toward the back of the news van. In the overhead shot, the van has one large back window, but it changes to two small windows in the following shots.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: The tri-circle symbol on Splinter's robe is either on his left side or his right side, or even vanishes entirely between shots, such as when April is the mutant Catwoman and approaches him in the sewer lair.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, while April is either her normal self or a mutant Catwoman, April's wristwatch suddenly appears, disappears, and reappears, even mid-shot; such as when she's in her Channel 6 office and throws the vase at Vernon.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Other mistake: When Irma finds April's Turtlecom and fortuitously contacts the Turtles, Leo answers the call and holds up the communicator in his right hand. The problem is that in the close-ups of Leo's open communicator, the animation of his wrist area is not complete, so his hand looks disembodied. Additionally, after Leonardo answers the Turtlecom call from Irma, she asks, "Who are you?" and in the next shot of the Turtlecom Irma is holding up, we see Raphael moving his lips as he says, "I'm Leonardo."
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: Shredder thinks, "Those idiots have learned their lesson," so he transports Bebop and Rocksteady back to his lair. Bebop's wristwear switches to opposite sides; the chain bracelet is now on his right wrist, and the studded wristband is on his left wrist, then both return to their proper wrists. This happens again when Shredder makes the crack about his cheap mutant labor.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When Shredder uses the matter transporter to send Bebop and Rocksteady to the city dump, Bebop's black bandoleer vanishes and reappears; then it happens again and again in the following shots.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: After the beloved TV is destroyed during the fight at the sewer lair, when Rocksteady attempts to help Bebop he's stopped by Mikey, but as Rocksteady smashes into the wall, his bandoleer and other strap have switched to opposite sides, then revert to their proper positions.
The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When Leonardo cuts off April's collar, she asks what happened, but instead of it being Leonardo standing there with the sword, it's Donatello with the sword.
Chosen answer: The Turtles' pizza obsession was not in the original comics, which were far more adult in the violence and language they contained. Peter Laird, one of the comic's creators was critical of this aspect on his blog in 2012, saying if he had control over the 80s cartoon's creative direction, the Turtles "would not have been so ridiculously obsessed with pizza".
