Continuity mistake: When anyone goes to Alan's room in Charlie's house, they always exit/enter from the left of the room entrance (when they exit the go left and up the hall then make another left). This doesn't match the floor plan of the beach house though, as the living room has been shown to be more straight out of the room.
Continuity mistake: When Alan first meets Rose, she eventually says "He (Charlie) has a very musky scent" with her head turning to look at Alan. When the camera cuts to Alan, he says "uh huh" and Rose is all of a sudden looking straight ahead. (00:10:40)
Continuity mistake: While Alan's sitting on the couch, Evelyn's talking to Alan "helping...through a very difficult time," and in the shots facing Alan all of the books on the table behind him, and also the books on the couch's side table keep changing - not just their position, all the books actually become different books. Additionally, in the shots facing Charlie, the books beside the chair and the books/CDs/DVDs on the bookcase change as well.
Continuity mistake: While Evelyn is at Charlie's asking Alan if he's considered that there may be another man at Judith's "shacking up with her," Evelyn is wearing a blue 2-piece skirt suit, but in Charlie's close-up Evelyn's wearing a white suit with a red floral pattern when she's standing in front of Charlie, at the left side of the screen. (In the original pilot Evelyn is played by Blythe Danner wearing the floral suit, but she had to back out and was replaced by Holland Taylor, who's wearing the blue suit).
Continuity mistake: When Charlie goes into Jake's room and finds all the seagulls, they are projected. There is one right at the front that is very obvious.
Did You Check With the Captain of the Flying Monkeys? - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Alan is on the balcony talking to Evelyn, a shot is shown from inside the house. Alan turns away from Charlie and puts his left hand on his hip. The shot changes and Alan's left hand is now in the air and then he puts it on his hip again.
Camel Filters + Pheromones - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Charlie and Prudence are talking about Berta, the amount of soap on Prudence's stomach changes throughout.
I Can't Afford Hyenas - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: After Berta tells Charlie he owes her $74 for groceries, she walks to the table and says 'funny story' with Charlie facing the coffee machine with his head facing towards it. When the camera cuts to another angle, Charlies head is all of a sudden in a different position with no time to have made the move. (00:01:50)
Round One to the Hot Crazy Chick (1) - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the the 'hot chick' is smashing her psychiatrist's car with the baseball bat, a window is already smashed in one shot before we see her smash it in the next. (00:01:35)
Ate The Hamburgers, Wearing The Hats - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: As Judith is driving Jake home, you can see the fringe of his hair while he is still wearing his beanie. The next shot of him, the beanie is now covering the fringe.
An Old Flame With a New Wick - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: When Charlie and Bill are drinking beer at the table in the bar, the level of beer in Charlie's bottle varies from shot to shot.
Enjoy Those Garlic Balls - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: Charlie gets a can of drink at the start but doesn't open it. Next shot he is pouring the drink without opening the can. (00:01:10)
Enjoy Those Garlic Balls - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: The level of tequila in the bottle at the start changes instantly depending on the angle. (00:01:35)
Enjoy Those Garlic Balls - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: After Alan takes Judith's "Harper's" doormat, Alan and Charlie go to the bar where Alan breaks the neck off the giraffe. The pieces of the giraffe change spots multiple times throughout cuts from Charlie and Alan.
Continuity mistake: Alan throws a bra onto the floor after Charlie tells him whose bra it is, which lands touching a rug. Alan goes to pick it up and the bra has not only moved away from the rug but it is also lying in a different position. (00:12:00 - 00:12:40)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the episode Alan says, "Well the point is you brought Jake into the relationship too soon." Just before he says that Judith's left arm is laying over her right and in the next shot her right is over her left.
Continuity mistake: When Charlie and Jake walk in on Judith and Alan kissing, Charlie says, "C'mon lets go boat shopping" to Jake. As they leave Charlie shuts the door twice.
Continuity mistake: During this whole episode, Jake calls his mother's boyfriend Greg. But in the 4th season when Judith is marrying the guy, he is called Herb. We know that it is not two different people because they both have the last name Melneck, and they are both Jake's pediatrician.
Bad News from the Clinic - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: After Charlie steals Jake's fries and asks him to squirt some ketchup on them, the bottle moves around the table between angles.
Bad News from the Clinic - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: At the very beginning, Alan and Charlie are at the table talking about the woman Charlie is seeing. When Alan asks "at a leisurely pace or if you were developmentally challenged?", Alan is picking up a glass about to take a drink. In the next cut from behind Alan, he is now eating a fry. After Charlie says "Aren't you clever? Bite me", Alan has the glass back in his hand.
Suggested correction: Greg was the guy with the boat. I don't think they ever said his last name. Herb is the Dr. Two different people at two different times in the show.
The mistake is correct. The character of Judith's then boyfriend, and then eventual husband and then ex-husband, was named Greg Melnick (played by Ryan Stiles) in season 2. He actually first appeared in s02e02, "Enjoy Those Garlic Balls." Later, when he became a reoccurring character, his name was changed in the show to Herb. Although one could argue Greg was his middle name the whole time. There was another character named Greg in season 4.

This is correct. Although it's never referenced once his name has changed to Herb, about having a boat.
