Motherhood - S1-E25

Revealing mistake: When Susan and Chloe's mom comes to the hospital to visit, Chloe gives the baby to Susan to hold. If you look closely you can tell the baby isn't real but is actually a doll.

Everything Old Is New Again - S1-E26

Continuity mistake: When people start to dance at the reception, there is a shot of Susan, Doug and Mark. Then the sax player approaches Susan and asks her to dance so she leaves and hits the dance floor with him. They show them dancing, then a few seconds later go back to the people standing by the table and Susan is next to Doug again. (00:42:00)

Hell and High Water - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: While Doug is giving CPR to the kid that was stuck it is pouring rain and everyone is soaking wet. When he runs with the kid and cop to the ambulance, it is no longer raining and they are all dry.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In season one (Thanksgiving episode) and in Season 2 (his graduation) Carter says he has a sister. After these seasons when his family is very involved in multiple plotlines there is no sister.

Fear of Flying - S3-E6

Character mistake: When Dr. Keaton rushes back into the OR to take over from Peter, she moves forward, pushing the door open with her hands. No surgeon would EVER enter an OR this way-it would contaminate her hands. The proper way is to back into the room, keeping one's hands in the air and free.

Another Perfect Day - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Susan and Chloe are fighting in front of the desk, you can see 2 marks on Susan's right shoulder that look like blood with no obvious source from previous scenes. While Chloe is having her hand treated, Susan is standing outside the door and turns, and the marks have disappeared. (00:35:05 - 00:35:50)

The Gift - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Benton's stethoscope moves between shots as he talks to Hicks about failing to get allowances to harvest a patients organs for donation. As he comes out of the room the stethoscope lies over his shoulders, in the next shot of Benton it's hanging round his neck.

Abby Road - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: When Cleo and Mark are playing basketball, when Mark shoots for the first time Cleo is standing to the left of the hoop - when the ball hits the rim it launches off the rim to the right, but in the next shot Cleo has the ball.

Firewall

Robert Romano: The operation was a screaming success if your desired outcome was paralysis.
