Guilt - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Rocky pushes Jim to listen to Val's message, Jim stands between his desk and the wall then reaches over with his left hand (wearing the watch) to hit the play button, but in the closeup it's Jim's right hand turning the machine on, and it's from the other side of the desk. (00:05:30)

Super Grover

The Deuce - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: While Rocky and Jim are at the trailer discussing jury duty, when George and Fran Bassett arrive Jim tells them to come in. In the shot facing them, as they climb up the exterior steps and walk through the doorway, changes occur; there are four holes in the door trim, there's only about three inches space between the shutters and doorway, the toggle switch is down. Next shot, the four holes are gone, space between the shutters and doorway significantly increased, and the toggle switch is now up. (00:12:40)

Super Grover

The Deuce - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: At the end, while the Bassetts and Karen Hathaway are at Rockford's trailer, there's still damage to the door's wood trim from the earlier shooting, but when the couple exit the trailer all of that damage disappears, between shots. (00:44:10 - 00:44:55)

The Countess - S1-E4

Jim Rockford: We're all scared to death. I guess that's a penalty we pay for living in a world where all the price tags end in 99 cents and they sell mortuary plots on billboards next to the freeway. What you do is, just keep laughing. (00:48:30)
