Snow Job - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Coach walks out from behind the bar near the start, he's got feathers almost up to his knees. Then when he turns around to walk back, they're now only over his feet. (00:03:55)

Fear is My Co-Pilot - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Sam and Diane are left alone in the cockpit, the position of the curtain behind them keeps changing. When Sam is speaking, the curtain is half open. When the camera angle switches to Diane, the curtain is closed.

Madame LaCarla - S10-E3

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Carla is sitting at a table in the bar, dressed as the new Madame LaCarla and is voicing her doubts about being the new Madame, you can see that Carla is only wearing one earring, the left. In other scenes she is wearing both.

What's Up, Doc? - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: After dinner Sam pours Sheila a nightcap, and he opens a (seltzer?) bottle for himself. Sheila leaves, and both her semi-filled glass and Sam's bottle are on the counter. Just as Sam opens a second bottle for himself Rebecca enters, and Sam soon sets his second bottle down near his first. In following shots the amount of liquid in Sheila's glass increases, and Sam grabs his first bottle then walks away, but when Rebecca stands up, Sam's first bottle is back on the counter and it's his second bottle that's missing. (00:20:20)

What is... Cliff Clavin? - S8-E14

Continuity mistake: Just before they reveal the answers of Final Jeopardy, they take a wide shot, and Cliff's question (Who are 3 people who have never been in my kitchen) is already revealed. But when they take a tight shot and ask Cliff to reveal his question, it is covered up.

Affairs of the Heart - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: After Diane's 'Romance is in the air' Sam comes closer to her and stands right behind her. Then there is a cut and suddenly Sam is standing to her right, shoulder to shoulder - it's a different angle, but the distance is too great. (00:03:30)

Endless Slumper - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Rick Walker is in the bar with Sam, he recognizes Coach as a former pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox. Yet in future episodes of Cheers, Coach is always identified as a former third-base coach.

Cry Hard (1) - S8-E25

Continuity mistake: Sam, Norm, and Woody are helping Rebecca move into Robin Colcord's house. When a curious Norm opens a bedroom door, the wall is bare. The shot cuts to Rebecca then back to Norm, but now there is a desk with flowers and a vase on it, plus a picture hanging on the wall.

What's Up, Doc? - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: While Sam considers going to see the psychiatrist professionally just to hook up with her, Carla suggests that he feign impotence, and Sam puts his bottle down on the counter, but it cuts to a closeup with Sam suddenly holding the bottle in his raised right hand. (00:09:30)

What's Up, Doc? - S7-E18

Plot hole: At closing time, Cliff, Norm and Woody spontaneously decide to go to Cliff's house. Sam then enters the bar after his date at Melville's. Later in the scene, Rebecca asks Sam about the 'Three Stooges', to which Sam sarcastically replies that they went to Cliff's house. But how could he possibly know that since he entered the scene after they had already left.

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know whether the coloured-in photos, which appear throughout the opening titles sequence, are real or made up for the show? If they ARE real, when George Wendt's name appears there's a shot of a man holding a newspaper with 'WE WIN' as the headline - does anybody know what this referred to?

Chimera

Answer: Here is the source of the "WE WIN" photo: http://www.oldnycphotos.com/nyny587ac.html Brooklyn, of all places.

Chosen answer: The pictures in the opening sequences are real pictures of people enjoying alcohol (from various dates), and are not meant to represent or include any of the cast members. The "we win" sign (most likely not a newspaper headline) is referring to the end of prohibition (1933) A fitting tribute to a show about drinking alcohol.

The word "Nazi" appears in the caption to a story underneath the headline. Maybe the headline refers to the Nazi surrender.
