Charmed

Rewitched - S8-E5

Revealing mistake: While Piper is trying to convince Paige to be at P3 for speed dating, Piper says, "I will resort to whatever I have to, besides you might actually meet someone you like," and after the quick shot of Paige, when it cuts to Leo holding Chris as he's standing in the doorway asking for baby Tylenol, the mirror's glass is green at the right side of the screen - for the special effects editing of the fake reflection. (00:04:40)

Super Grover

Carpe Demon - S7-E14

Revealing mistake: After Leo's meeting on the bridge with two of the Elders, it cuts to Phoebe walking down the stairs as she catches Drake dancing, and when he approaches Phoebe to take her hands, the top of the set with lighting can be seen in the dining room.

Super Grover

The Courtship of Wyatt's Father - S6-E16

Revealing mistake: Just after Piper and Leo are taken away, Paige orbs down to the ground and runs up to Pheobe, places her hand on her, and shows a blood-covered hand showing that Pheobe's been injured. But before it's shown, while Paige is running up to Pheobe, you can see Paige deliberately keeping her hand closed and facing away from the camera, because it's already there when she orbs down.

Out of Sight - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: Prue is needed in the storm drain to rescue Piper, who is stuck in a hole bottomed off by a metal circular guard. Prue uses her power to levitate the metal circle to her level. When the camera pans out, the metal rods used to actually levitate the metal circle are visible. (00:36:25)

Charmed and Dangerous - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: In the scene where The Source uses Piper's powers together on the clay object (it blows up and then freezes), after he unfreezes it, the pieces shatter and one lands on the stand thing. As the camera moves in towards The Source, before the camera passes the clay piece it visibly vanishes (as it is CGI) and then the Source holds up a piece which is much larger and a different shape. (00:19:45)

Which Prue Is It, Anyway? - S1-E16

Revealing mistake: When Pink Prue is stabbed, they show the warlord over her, with the sword supposedly having stabbed her body. It is very obvious that the sword is not actually in her, but about a foot away from her body, closer to the warlord.

That '70s Episode - S1-E17

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Penny uses her powers at Nicholas and throws him on the dining table, it is clear that the table is a fake one simply made of simple wooden boards.

Be Careful What You Witch For - S2-E22

Plot hole: When teenage Prue has run away with the demon, and Phoebe and Piper find her in the park, teenage Prue is 'killed'. Her sisters drive her home to get Leo to heal her, but shouldn't they have just been able to call to Leo to orb to them when Prue was first hurt, and heal her in the park, and save driving back to the Manor, risking Prue dying?

Suggested correction: I see orbing to the park but he didn't heal her, she was already dead and he can't heal the dead, that's why the genie brought her back - that's what Phoebe wished for.

But if they would have called for him right away - he would have been able to heal her before she died. However at this point in time I don't think they knew how to call for him.

Yes, they did know how to call him. At least Phoebe did, because when Piper got sick in the hospital from the disease she inherited from the illegal fruit, Prue and Phoebe screamed out Leo's name until he appeared in the attic.

They did, they first tried it in the episode when Piper was sick with an exotic disease and dying in the hospital.

It bothers me that they never used it again until Season 4. When Prue was held by Abby, Leo could have helped if she called, and so many other times... so annoying.

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.
