Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil - S1-E2

Chapter Eighty: Purgatorio - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: In Season 4, Archie visits his father's grave. On the grave it says May 21, 1970 - July 3, 2019, but in season 5, Veronica says "It's 2021" Veronica says this seven years after Archie visits the grave, so how has it been 7 years from 2019 to 2021?

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tell-Tale Heart - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: As someone knocks on the door, Betty drops her bowl of cereal leaving a mess consisting of milk, "Fruity Munch" cereal, and shattered ceramic on the floor. When Betty walks forward to open the door, the floor behind her, where there should be a huge mess, is totally clean. (00:08:01 - 00:08:27)

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Quiz Show - S4-E11

Other mistake: Archie's uncle Frank tells Archie during an argument with him that he is 40 years old, with seven years in combat while in the military. But in a previous episode when explaining why he let Fred take the blame for his DUI, he claimed that he was a Desert Storm veteran in between tours at the time. Either the show got the wars wrong and meant to say he was an Operation Enduring Freedom or Iraqi Freedom veteran (no actual veteran uses "Desert Storm" when referring to combat in the Middle East after 9/11) or they're saying that he was only 10-11 years old when he went to Desert Storm. (00:29:30)

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Graduation - S5-E3

Factual error: Archie revealed that he joined the Army to avoid repeating his senior year and was shipping to Basic Combat Training the following morning. Before leaving he would need to wait for his background and medical checks to be completed (including getting his dropped murder charge reviewed for suitability), which could take weeks. Also, the Army usually requires a diploma or GED to ship to basic. There were brief periods when the Army was accepting dropouts but it was not when this episode took place.

AD

Chapter Two: A Touch of Evil - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: At the pep rally everyone says it is raining - on stage mayor McCoy is holding a soaked umbrella while around her no-one is wet, and we see all the cheerleaders completely dry at that moment.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When Josie looks at the folder with Archie's songs, and starts singing them, the folder cover is hanging, while she holds it. The cover then ends up tucked into Josie's hand without her moving it.

Cheryl Blossom: Color me impressed. A B&E with B&V. What would your Holy Roller mother say about this, Betty?
Betty Cooper: What are you doing here, Cheryl?
Kevin Keller: And where did you get those thigh-high boots? They're amazing.
