Continuity mistake: In Tabitha's room in an early scene, Tabitha for some reason is in her play pen in her bedroom rather than her crib as usual. Later, the crib is back when Darrin is securing her toys in the locked toy chest.
A Plague on Maurice and Samantha - S8-E9
Continuity mistake: Samantha's illness is contagious and passed to Maurice from a kiss; when Samantha kisses the apothecary, he should have lost his powers also.
Samantha's Wedding Present - S5-E1
Other mistake: When Darrin is first shrunk we see that his clothes are unaffected by Endora's spell (they don't shrink). So, when he was popped back to normal heights, his clothes shouldn't be affected, and he would burst out of them. We already know his suit changed colors.
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.
A Nice Little Dinner Party - S1-E19
Continuity mistake: The train shown is pulled by four diesel locomotives, "A" unit leads with two "B" units sandwiched between a second "A" unit. When Mrs. Stevens pulls the emergency stop cord, which would not likely be on a long distance passenger train, the locomotive shown doing an emergency stop is a steam one. Not to mention that by the time of this episode steam engines were obsolete, and less likely to have been employed, especially in passenger service.
Continuity mistake: When Sam is looking for Darrin to tell him the good news, Aunt Clara walks into the living room holding the large book with its cloth bookmark hanging over the top front of the book (facing Sam), but in the next shot the bookmark has switched to hanging over the top back of the book (facing Clara). (00:13:40)
A Very Special Delivery - S2-E2
Visible crew/equipment: Darrin and Larry sit down for a meeting. Against the glass wall of the meeting room behind them you can see the shadow of a boom mic.
Continuity mistake: When Sam and Endora are talking in the foyer, the glass-paneled door at the end of the hallway is closed. When Darrin is seen in the study moments later fighting to get the chair in the closet, the door can be seen against the wall in the hallway, as it would be in the open position. When Darrin stumbles out of the study a moment later, the door is closed again.
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.
Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of one of the cameras - complete with protruding lens - is visible on Jack Cassidy's coat as he walks toward the living room. (00:15:20)
Samantha Fights City Hall - S5-E9
Continuity mistake: After Samantha sees the statue talking to her, her expression goes from shocked to annoyed and back to shocked in consecutive shots. Also, her hair is over both shoulders in each of the "shocked" shots but over one shoulder in the "annoyed" shot. (00:24:30)
Driving is the Only Way to Fly - S1-E26
Visible crew/equipment: As Harold and Samantha drive away from the traffic jam, part of the camera rig is reflected in the side window of the car. (00:16:00)
Red Light, Green Light - S1-E23
Continuity mistake: When Dave sees Darrin's ad for the community meeting, he suggests a couple of changes, one of them being to add a line saying "and bring your friends". But the ad was shown in close-up shortly before Dave's arrival, and there was already a line saying "Be sure and bring all your friends". (00:13:35)
There's No Witch Like an Old Witch - S1-E27
Visible crew/equipment: As Samantha helps Aunt Clara out of the closet, as Samantha says, "Don't go 'way!" the boom mike's shadow becomes momentarily visible at the top of the screen. (00:02:00)
Continuity mistake: The shaving cream smears on the mirror are different in the close-ups than they are on the wider shots. (00:04:25)
Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things - S3-E3
Other mistake: The exterior scene when Clara parachutes in is not the real outside we see throughout the show with neighbors including the Kravitz across the street and fewer trees...and no pine forest. Also, it's obvious Marion Lorne, who was about 80 at the time, was sitting on a swing like apparatus being lowered... understandably.
Witches and Warlocks are My Favorite Things - S3-E3
Visible crew/equipment: In the opening scene, when Samantha goes into hallway, you can see a visible equipment shadow on the wall to the right behind Samantha. When it cuts away then returns, the shadow is gone.
Endora Moves in For a Spell - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Samantha takes Tabatha from Uncle Arthur's arms after a walk, the baby is wearing a yellow sweater, but it is gone before Samantha puts her down in her playpen. (00:08:10)
Samantha is Earthbound - S8-E16
Other mistake: This episode is a repeat of Season 4 No Zip in My Zap with the better Darrin 1. Since Samantha previously became earthbound for not practicing her normal, day to day, witchcraft. They would know why Sam is again earthbound. And, Samantha constantly uses her witchcraft.
Hansel and Gretel in Samanthaland - S8-E10
Continuity mistake: In 1-7 The Witches Are Out, Bertha (later Hagatha) is talking to Mary, and they say that Hansel and Gretel are 2 naughty children who go around eating the nice witch's house. In this episode, the witch is a "traditional" bad witch.
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.
