With This Ring? - S8-E1

Character mistake: Elvin has to sit on a stool at the dining room table and remarks that they are all out of chairs. But when Clair and Vanessa go into the kitchen to talk, there is an empty chair sitting by the kitchen table.

Pam Applies to College - S8-E4

Visible crew/equipment: If you look carefully, at the very top of the screen, during the scene where Olivia is telling the Huxtables that she didn't get to do her show-and-tell at school, you can see the microphone appear very briefly.

For Men Only - S8-E9

Factual error: When Olivia (or whoever) is teaching Russell how to play the Nintendo game she tells him the controls and includes "C and D". The old Nintendo system had no C or D.

Two Is a Crowd - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: At the end of this episode, when Clarie enters the kitchen and closes the doors behind her, they are left a bit open. They remain open while Vanessa and Dabnis also enter the kitchen to say goodbye. When they leave and Clarie asks Cliff something, the doors are now completely closed.

Clair's Reunion - S8-E20

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode Cliff starts to cut up the sleepover treat, a couple of shots later Olivia's friend says "I knew we should have done this upstairs" - it is now uncut and Cliff starts cutting it again.

Bowling255

Some Gifts Aren't Deductible - S8-E23

Revealing mistake: When Stanley comes into the kitchen he has three demands, on paper from Deirdre, to which Kenny must agree. After Stanley reads the demands, Kenny signs it. You can plainly see that the paper is blank the moment after he signs it and gives it back to Stanley.

And So We Commence (1) - S8-E24

Plot hole: When Theo is complaining that his father is inviting too many people to his graduation, he says "I saw him in the backyard 5 minutes ago hosing down the beach chairs", but this couldn't have been possible because in fact, Cliff was upstairs right before that scene, and then went straight to the living room, so there's no possible way that Cliff could have been in the yard at the time Theo had said he was.

Vanessa Huxtable: Rudy, what are you gonna do in life with a fourth grade education?
Rudy: Teach third grade .
