Downtown as Fruits / Eugene's Bike - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the Eugene's Bike episode, when Arnold has to tie his shoe, he sets his books down on a bike in a bike rack. This causes the bike to tip over and makes all the other bikes in the rack to fall down. Eugene's bike falls into the middle of the street and get ran over. When Eugene finds out his bike is destroyed, he looks at Arnold and yells. Right after this you get a good look at the bike rack. You'll notice there are no bikes in or around the bike rack.

Ghost Bride/Gearold VS Jameo - S5-E25

Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are running from the second ghost bride, they go into a crypt and close the doors. One of the kids puts a shovel through the handles to keep it shut. In the next shot, it's gone. In the shot after that it's back.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Harold's age is inconsistent throughout the series. Harold has his Bar Mitzvah in "Harold's Bar Mitzvah", establishing that he is 13 years old, and in "Hey Harold!", he tells Patty that he was held back a couple years, which is why he is still in fourth grade. However, in "Helga on the Couch", he is shown in the same preschool class as the other kids, and in "The Journal", he is shown playing in the park with the other kids, and he is a baby just like all of them.

Suggested correction: It's possible that Harold wasn't the only student held back, even though he's older than his classmates. Just a thought.

So? How does that justify him being in the same preschool class as the other kids?

He was probably held back in preschool but was not mentioned.

Fair enough, but he is also in "The Journal" which took place before the kids were in preschool. He is shown playing with the other kids as a baby, and there is no sign of an age difference, even though he is supposed to be 4 years older than them at most. All the other main kid characters are around 9 years old in the fourth grade. It's highly unlikely that Harold would be around those kids as a baby.

Ransom / Ms. Perfect - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: In "Miss Perfect", Helga, Rhonda, Sheena, Phoebe, and Nadine are cooking up ways to make Lila's (the new girl) life miserable. In one shot, Rhonda is wearing her new blue outfit. When the scene cuts to the boys and Lila, and then back to the five girls, Rhonda is wearing her standard red sweater and black pants. For the rest of that day, she is back in her new outfit.

The Aptitude Test / Oskar Gets a Job - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: In "Oscar Gets a Job", Oscar goes around asking people for money. When he talks to Ernie, you can see that there is a phone and a light to the right of the door. When Arnold confronts Oscar in the hall, you can see Ernie's room (7). The phone has disappeared.

Operation Ruthless/The Vacant Lot - S1-E7

Operation Ruthless/The Vacant Lot - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Operation Ruthless: When the Cheese Festival is first shown, Arnold and Gerald are standing at the bumper car ride, but in the next shot, they are suddenly standing in a different location, which seems to be at the green building from the beginning of the episode. (00:03:12)

Save The Tree / New Teacher - S2-E1

Audio problem: Save the Tree: At the end, when Bob says, "Yeah, I'll just build my beeper emporium in that vacant lot down on Vine Street," his mouth doesn't move until the word "build." Arnold's mouth also doesn't move when he says, "Huh?" (00:11:27)

Suzie: I gave you 100 dollars two days ago.
Oskar: Suzie, you know I had to use it to pay the phone bill.
Suzie: Oskar, they cut off our phone service this morning.
Oskar: I know, it's a terrible mistake. We should sue.
Suzie: Oh, Oskar, that just doesn't make any sense.
Oskar: Tell me about it. So, can I have the 50 dollars?
Suzie: I don't have 50 dollars, we've already spent my paycheck this week.
Oskar: What about your overtime?
Suzie: I work 20 hours a week overtime already, how many more hours do you want me to work?
Oskar: How about 25?
Suzie: OSKAR!

Answer: No, he did not. He is seen getting off the bus with a suitcase, so he must have not been home for a few days so there is no way he could have known.
