The Big Bang Theory

The Countdown Reflection - S5-E24

Other mistake: Raj doesn't get over his selective mutism until the end of season 6. However, he very prominently speaks during Howard and Bernadette's wedding without alcohol or meds. In the season 6 episode where he finally does speak without any assistance, Penny makes a big deal about it so it's shocking when he does it here with no big shocks.

The Friendship Contraction - S5-E15

Character mistake: Sheldon told Leonard at lunch that they were no longer friends, only roommates but later that day, he told start moved up to ninth place on his friends list because he dropped someone (can't remember who) off his friends list). In actuality, it would've bumped him up to eighth place because he kicked Leonard off the list.

Suggested correction: He's awoken by a door closing, not necessarily the front door. He could have heard Sheldon closing his door.

While that is possible, it is unlikely as it's clear Sheldon has already made a dent in the cleaning of Penny's apartment. Plus Sheldon would have simply replied to Leonard when he called out.

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: When Leonard, Sheldon and Penny are eating lunch for the first time, Penny sits on Sheldon's spot, Leonard then tells him to "Just sit somewhere else." He then walks over to his desk chair and contemplates sitting there and in the bottom left of the shot there is a chair with 4 false legs, and one large leg running down the middle. (00:08:20)

The Extract Obliteration - S6-E6

Stephen Hawking: Do you like brain teasers?
Sheldon Cooper: Oh, I love brain teasers.
Stephen Hawking: What do Sheldon Cooper and a black hole have in common? They both suck. Neener, neener.

The Euclid Alternative - S2-E5

Question: Though it comes up in other episodes as well, this one is focused on Sheldon needing a ride everywhere he goes because he can't drive, not to mention his not being welcome on the bus. Of course, this story element would be nonexistent if there was a simple answer, but it does beg the question: Does Pasadena not have taxicabs?

MFWills

Chosen answer: It does. The variable cleanliness of the cab and the habit of taxi drivers to engage customers in small talk would be too much for Sheldon to handle, and not an option for him.

Captain Defenestrator

Answer: Sheldon DID finally use a taxi when going to the airport to see and propose to Amy in New Jersey.
