Revealing mistake: When looking out of the Steven's kitchen window, the view outside changes completely during different episodes of the show.
Revealing mistake: The hallway that leads to the den and the back door of the kitchen has a door at the end of it, when this door is opened we see what looks like pine trees and mountains, we know that the Stevens have neighbors on that side of the house, so that when the door is opened you can blatantly tell that it is a picture.
Revealing mistake: In several episodes, the window over the kitchen sink is shown from the outside, while snoopy people look in. The window shown in these exterior shots is far too low to be the same window that is over the Steven's kitchen sink, which is shown in many shots looking out.
Continuity mistake: In more than one episode the Steven's front door changes. In some shots the door is solid paneled but in other shots the door has a half circle window at the top. It seems the window usually appears in close up shots of people talking.
Continuity mistake: In the early shows, the door between the dining room and kitchen is a swinging door with louvers. In later shows there is a regular sized door with partial louvers. However, after this change, there are a couple of episodes within the same season, where the regular sized louver door is a solid door with no louvers.
Revealing mistake: The series is supposed to take place in Westport, CT. Westport, CT doesn't have palm trees or the California mountains. Several shots outside of the house reveal the mountains and palm trees are when driving in several episodes.
I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - S1-E1
Other mistake: As Darrin tries to catch the moving ashtray, Samantha is smiling at the hilarity and raises a smiling glance at the camera crew. Possibly brought on by their own laughing. (00:09:49)
I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - S1-E1
Visible crew/equipment: At the dinner party and after a gust of wind, Samantha uses her powers to close the front door. As it shuts, the shadow of the moving camera is visible on the wall on the right-hand side. (00:22:23)
I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Darrin collapses after Samantha zaps him the drink, in the next shot the glass is on the table with the straw across the top.
I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Darrin's hair is messed up from the windstorm. When he sits down, his hair in neatly combed back as when he first arrived at the dinner party.
I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - S1-E1
Audio problem: When Samantha and Darrin are at his ex-girlfriend's house for dinner, Samantha is doing all kinds of things to sabotage the dinner, even making a gust of wind come through the front door thus blowing the ex's wig off. The ex girlfriend is screaming but the screams don't match up to what her mouth is doing.
I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: After the hairbrush comes to Samantha, she starts to brush, and you see the lights reflect off the wires used for the gag.
Be it Ever So Mortgaged - S1-E2
Revealing mistake: When Gladys is looking through the window, you can see part of the facade cross bracing.
Be it Ever So Mortgaged - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: After Darrin arrives at the house and Sam goes outside to greet him and Endora disappears from the living room, there is no carpet runner/protector on the carpet leading to the patio door and the folding style patio door blinds are totally folded. When Darrin and Sam come into the house looking for Endora the carpet runner is there and the patio door blinds are partially open.
It Shouldn't Happen to a Dog - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Samantha's hair goes from neat to messy and back again during the chase scene in the alley.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Bertha (Later Aunt Hagatha) puts her cookie on her plate next to her cup. In the next shot it disappears.
It Takes One to Know One - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When Larry tells Darrin that he is going home, the blinds behind Darrin are shut, however in the close up of Darrin, the blinds are open.
And Something Makes Three - S1-E12
Other mistake: While Gladys Kravitz is standing in front of her house, which is across the street from the front of the Stephens' house, Gladys sees the Stephens' backyard just as Sam zaps a swimming pool and then zaps it away, but since the Stevens' backyard is located behind the house where the living room and dining room are, this would be impossible even for nosy Gladys Kravitz.
Samantha Meets the Folks - S1-E14
Visible crew/equipment: When Aunt Clara's satchel and umbrella are "floating" up the stairs the shadow of the boom pole making the magic is visible above the Menorah at the top of the wall.
A Vision of Sugar Plums - S1-E15
Visible crew/equipment: At the start, when Sam takes the tree out of her purse and places in on the carpet, her white tape mark is visible on the carpet beside her foot. (00:00:45)
Answer: Telstar was an early communications satellite system. Darrin, in a particularly sexist manner reflective of this era, is saying that telling a secret to a woman means it is guaranteed to be "broadcasted" to multiple people.
