Other mistake: When Alicia takes the grape soda out of the fridge, she pours it into her cup without first opening the can. If the can was already opened, then its contents would have spilled out from oscillation when Thing was dancing with the fridge before he set it down. (00:03:05)
Factual error: After the building in the Rockefeller Center is pulled out from under its foundation, it falls through the Earth's surface for what Reed says is miles before it comes to a crashing halt in the subterranean ground. If a building of that size fell many miles through the Earth's surface and came to a dead stop in the ground, then the velocity at which it would have been traveling and the force of the sudden stop would cause the building to be completely destroyed, and everyone in the building that isn't a superhero would be killed from the impact.

Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Alicia is saying "Ben said he had a surprise for me, but what's he doing selling video tapes?", her mouth movement is not in sync with the dialogue. (00:01:59)

Continuity mistake: When Miss Forbes enters the living room, Alicia is standing in front of the couch. When the shot changes, Alicia and Sue are shown standing perpendicular to it. When the shot changes again, they are back to standing in front. (00:02:00)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: After Sue tells Miss Forbes that Thing is an adult, and she can't control him, the yellow couch that is behind her is now red. Johnny was also sitting on the couch, but by the time it has turned red, he is nowhere to be seen. (00:02:09)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Sue is saying "I sympathize Miss Forbes, but Ben's an adult. I can't control him," her mouth movement is not in sync with the dialogue. (00:02:15)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Reed is working in his lab to get his computer to connect with the Hubble Telescope, he says "interfacing" with his mouth closed. (00:02:33)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Reed is saying "I'm afraid that's only part of the problem. That insectoid creature is loose somewhere in New York," his mouth movement is largely out of sync with the dialogue. (00:05:34)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When the infomercial host is showing the porcelain pigs from the Age of Enlightenment, one of the pigs is spinning around. When it changes to a wide shot, the pig is no longer spinning. (00:06:50)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Reed interrupts the infomercial, all the merchandise that was on the table has disappeared. (00:07:06)
Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes. There were also some obvious animation compositing gaffs. The animation colors were also criticized as being overly bright and cheery and out of character to the established story's darker tone. The broad humor of the first season was replaced by a more mature narrative between the characters.
