Visible crew/equipment: After leaving her husband at train station, Harriet takes a cab to meet a man at a cabin. After a few mins, she takes the man's car to go home. As she drives away, there's a reflection of a man, in suit with glasses (possibly the director) standing offscreen. (00:05:20)

The Case of the Fickle Filly - S6-E11

Other mistake: George Tabor parts his hair on his right side, however when Perry cross examines Mr. Tabor his hair is parted on his left and then reverts back to his right side. The two dots on his tie are one low and one high, they also switch. The negative must have been flipped.

The Case of the Sausalito Sunrise - S9-E19

Revealing mistake: Secretary Della Street answers the telephone in Perry's office and speaks briefly with the owner of an art gallery. She presses the "hold" button, then hands the receiver to Perry and says, "It's Mr. Clune." Perry and Mr. Clune have a lengthy phone conversation, even though Della never released the "hold" button.

The Case of the Sausalito Sunrise - S9-E19

Other mistake: The owner of a Los Angeles trucking company tells a driver who is going to San Francisco, "Take the San Diego Freeway toward Bakersfield." That freeway runs from San Diego to San Fernando. It does not go toward Bakersfield.

The Case of the Substitute Face - S1-E32

Revealing mistake: While Perry and two other men are drinking brandy at a table onboard a ship, stock footage of a storm at sea is shown. To simulate the rocking motion of the ocean, the camera slowly tilts from side to side. This is obvious because the surface of the brandy in the glasses also tilts. If the ship were really rocking, the surface of the brandy would remain horizontal.

Other mistake: Elston Carr, hoping to locate a former business partner's daughter, has a notice printed in the newspaper. His address is 133 North Remuda Drive in Los Angeles. When his home is shown, the number painted on the curb is 3972.
