Charmed

Charmed Again (2) - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: In the church scene when Phoebe and Piper are showing Paige how to use her power, Piper says "according to the prophecy, the third sister has the power to move things with her mind, like Prue could." Prue was not the third sister, but the first. Paige is technically The Fourth Sister, but since the prophecy didn't speak of a "Power of Four", she would automatically become the third sister after Prue's death. (01:02:42)

Pre-Witched - S3-E17

Other mistake: During a flash back of Grams in the kitchen she puts a rose in a pot, then Piper walks in, they talk and Piper starts to add some salt and a couple other ingredients into the pot. Grams asks how she knows what to add, Piper says says something about mustard - Piper wouldn't know what's in it already, she just walked in. And she never even finds it strange that there's a rose with a stem in it.

Sight Unseen - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Cole goes to the manor, turns the AC on, knocks a lamp on the ground and opens a window, then shimmers up to the attic. When the sisters come home all the windows are open, but Cole opened only one downstairs.

Hell Hath No Fury - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: During the opening, Piper, Phoebe and Cole are in an SUV and going to find a demon. A shot from in front shows that there is no rearview mirror in the SUV, just a white mark on the windshield. When they turn into the parking lot however, the rearview mirror has returned.

Guy

Witch Wars - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Paige goes to The Bay Mirror to bring Phoebe potions we see she has 3 different colored potions: green, blue, and orange. She hands the light blue "explosive" to Phoebe, then hands the green one saying it's "acid" but when she hands Phoebe the last potion the camera angle changes and we see that she's again handing her the green one. At this time we see that Phoebe is holding the blue and the orange ones. (00:10:28)

Saving Private Leo - S4-E17

Other mistake: This entire episode the ghost brothers whine that Leo is responsible for them dying and he left them to die, even Leo believes this. It makes no sense. As we see in the flashback even if Leo stayed to help they were blown up moments later and still would have died.

The Three Faces of Phoebe - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe casts the spell to hear her hearts desire about marrying Cole it conjures old Phoebe and young Phoebe. When Leo, Piper, and Paige enter the room they all room perplexed by who the two people, just conjured, are. If this is supposed to be young Phoebe, wouldn't Leo (who has followed all them their whole lives) Piper and especially Phoebe recognize the younger Phoebe immediately instead of being confused by who she is?

Baby's First Demon - S5-E16

Visible crew/equipment: While Elise is telling everyone about Bay Mirror's new owner, Jason Dean, just as she warns them that he's known for shaking up companies, we can see the white T-mark and a bit of the yellow tape mark on the crew's black mat (which is gone in following shots) at the lower left of the screen. (00:09:15)

Super Grover

The Day The Magic Died - S5-E15

Visible crew/equipment: While Paige and Phoebe are in the basement getting some magic from the unicorn horn, Phoebe figures out it was the Elders who sent the unicorn, and just as Paige comments that the unicorn's magic is not affected by what happens on Earth, you can see the animal handler's hand under the animal's muzzle. (00:37:35)

Super Grover

Sand Francisco Dreamin' - S5-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After Phoebe returns with a bowl of dream dust from the remains of the Sandman, Phoebe opens and closes the door to the conservatory to view their three dream guests, then as they all turn and walk toward the sofa we can see the reflection of the moving boom pole and mic in the mirror. Also, note the door that Phoebe had closed is now wide open in Leo's closeups. (00:32:15)

Super Grover

House Call - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Leo finds Piper on the ladder removing the "filthy" wood shingles he's wearing a crew-neck grey and blue pullover, but when Piper climbs off the ladder and Leo tells her she needs to snap out of it Leo is wearing something beige with a collar, then it's back to the crew-neck pullover. (00:31:00)

Super Grover

A Witch in Time - S5-E8

Visible crew/equipment: After Bacarra takes the human heart from the witch it cuts to the Halliwell manor, and as the camera pans to the right we can see lighting equipment and the boom mic (with a white striped tip) at the top of the screen, then in a following shot from the same direction the boom mic is visible again. (00:30:55)

Super Grover

Siren Song - S5-E4

Visible crew/equipment: While Leo is at the manor with Phoebe, who volunteered to make the potion, when Piper and Paige orb into what's left of Melissa's home, through the hole in the wall we can see the boom mic (with a white striped tip) hovering over the sisters, just as Piper tells Paige she doesn't want to make Melissa more upset. (00:24:45)

Super Grover

Cole: Phoebe, I love you. I don't know what's going on but maybe I can help. Would you like me to kill someone for you?

Answer: That was a mistake in the series.

Also, the episode is called 'Babies First Demon' and this alone tells us that it's Wyatt's first time in the field (so to speak) and as the sisters say, they've done a good job of clearing up their own magical messes so far. Nobody really knows how advanced Wyatt's powers are, or will become. That's why the cleaners appear, to nip things in the bud. The Cleaners didn't want to chance that the sisters could clean Wyatt's magic up, just incase they couldn't. Therefore intervening themselves, just in case.

Chosen answer: When the cleaners first surface in season 6 it is mentioned that usually the girls have been able to clean up their own messes (as seen in season 3 episode 22 when Phoebe turns back time thus concluding in the death of Prue).

Answer: Because they wanted them to fix their own mistakes.
