My Lunch - S5-E20

Plot hole: Season 5, episode 20 (My Lunch). One of Dr. Cox' patients needs a heart valve transplanted. Heart valves don't have to be transplanted from another person. They can be replaced by a metal valve, or the surgeon can create a new valve from a different part of the patient's body. There was no reason to wait for a donor valve when they had other options available.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When JD is in the lift (elevator) with all the people and asks his patient if his gas is bad for the other people, the woman on the right has her arms crossed then in the next shot she has a single hand on her chest.

My Super Ego - S1-E7

Visible crew/equipment: When J.D. goes to apologise to Nick Murdoch, just after he passes the torch to him, Nick says "we need to get the results of this urine sample." As he says this line, the boom can be seen. (00:14:50)

My Changing Ways - S4-E25

Continuity mistake: At the beginning when Dr Cox is talking to Dr Kelso, behind Dr Cox is a women handling a green stuffed toy which she puts down. The shot then cuts to the son and wife of Dr Cox and then back. The woman has the stuffed toy back in her hands.

My Sex Buddy - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When the family goes to throw Carla through the window, watch the window they throw her towards. The window is made up of at least three sections of glass, each no more than 2-3 feet wide with metal posts between sections. When the shot changes and Carla (well, the dummy of Carla) hits, the window is now only two sections, each about 5 feet wide. The easiest way to tell is watch the metal post farthest to the right. When the shot changes to outside, that post, which should now be farthest to the left, has vanished.

My Way Home - S5-E7

Revealing mistake: 5-07 - Doug clobbers JD with the fire extinguisher when he's in the body bag. When JD asks him why and Doug explains with the fire extinguisher in his hands, you can see him flexing it and that it's made out of rubber.

My Day At The Races - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Season 5 - Episode 3. After Turk has operated on the patient without anesthetics and Dr. Cox says they can publish it in Almost Magazines, the clock on the wall to the right of the screen shows 11:05. When it cuts the clock shows 5:40.

Mortug

My Mentor - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Dr Cox is watching TV, a guy in green walks past the people in the background, the camera goes to a close up of the doctor with the remote and the same guy walks past again.

Season 1 generally

Question: In one episode (I think it's My Balancing Act) Dr Kelso is trying to scare the interns, so he pulls his face off and 'becomes' a guy with crazy ginger hair and a very annoying loud voice. I'm a Brit so that's maybe why I don't recognise this guy. Is he supposed to be someone famous?

Answer: This is an American comedian called Scott Thompson, more widely known by his stage name of "Carrot Top".
