The Robbery - S1-E2

Sammo

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Jerry is playing with his mom; she handles him a note with Elaine's message. He says "I am such a jackass." His mom asks "She knows... what?" In that shot, Liz Sheridan 's hand is nowhere near her face, where it should be to match the shots before and after. (00:16:55)

The Stakeout - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Throughout the video store scene, a golden sticker keeps switching position on the adult tape Elaine is holding; The Switch can be noticed particularly easily when they talk about the wedding; Elaine repeats "A wedding?" and the box has no sticker, but few seconds later she laughs about the combover and the sticker is showing. (00:02:50)

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)

Sammo

The Burning - S9-E16

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, when Puddy is farewelling Elaine on the street, he is standing on the sidewalk and leaning through the driver's window. The following shot when she pulls out quickly, you can see through the windows of the car that Puddy is nowhere to be seen.
