Seinfeld

The Statue - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: George had enough of Ray's pawn shop story and jumps up calling him a thief. Watch the couple at the table; the woman, wearing a purple sweater, has her hand on the man's arm in the reaction shot, when nothing of the sort was happening in the wider angle. (00:15:30)

The Jacket - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: At the end of their strategic break in the men's room, George tosses his paper towel in the bin to the right; however the previous shot ended with Jason Alexander turning around having the towel in his left hand and glancing towards the basket on the left. (00:13:55)

The Jacket - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the reaction shot with Alton Benes scoffing at George and Jerry's sissy choice of drinks, a woman with a coat in hand is walking behind him, towards the door. In the next shot, no trace of the woman, just someone in a bicolor puffer. (00:10:25)

Sammo

Season 1 generally

Continuity mistake: In the pilot episode "Good News, Bad News", look out when the waitress discusses the two coffee pots. She says "Trusts me George, nobody wants to see you on caffeine", and the unbuttoned top of Jerry's jumper is noticeably folded - but straightens instantly in his reaction shot. Also it should be noted that she walks away without actually pouring coffee to George - you have to assume a little amount of time elapsed between that reaction shot with Jerry and the following on George. (00:01:45)

The Understudy - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: When Elaine gets kicked out of the nail salon it is a clear day (in fact the whole episode is) then the next scene she meets J Peterman at night and in the rain. When she left the salon she is wearing a red blouse, no jacket. When she meets Peterman she is in a trench coat with a white blouse. The Peterman portion of this episode really makes no sense.

The Implant - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: During the wake for Betsy's aunt, George puts snacks on his plate while talking to the reverend. He puts at least 6 pieces on his plate while the next shot of his plate shows only 2. (00:14:15)

The Blood - S9-E4

Continuity mistake: When George enters The Cafe near the start, he takes Jerry's plate and begins eating the fries. After finishing the first fry, his hands are on the plate. Jerry then asks him what happened, and suddenly he has a fry in his hands which are also now raised slightly.

Casual Person

The Apology - S9-E9

Continuity mistake: When Jerry and his naked girlfriend are playing scrabble just after Jerry accuses her of stealing and it flips to the front at the bottom of the screen you can see a bra or towel covering her breasts but is gone when she stands up. (00:03:40)

The Dog - S3-E4

Character mistake: When George and Elaine go to the coffee shop after The Movie without Jerry, they establish that Elaine moved to NYC in 1986. Then they make fun of the way that Jerry throws up; both imitating Jerry. The "Dinner Party" episode is after the "The Dog". In the "Dinner Party" episode, Jerry brags that he hasn't thrown up since June 29th, 1980. The black and white cookie ended this streak. Elaine would not have been around to see this, not arriving in NYC until 1986.

Jimmy: Oh yeah, Jimmy's ready. Check Jimmy out. Jimmy's got some new moves. [Slips and falls from the water.] Jimmy's down.
