The House - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: After she leaves the sanitarium, Elaine's long blonde hair is blowing wildly in the wind as she drives. In the next shot, with no time for her to have combed it, her hair is neatly coiffed again. (00:10:00)

Jean G

Lone Survivor - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When the ship's captain is questioning the survivor, the man is sitting up with the iron bedstead behind him. When the shot cuts, he's suddenly lying flat with his head on the pillow.

They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When William Windom comes into his office, we see a stone wall in the background, with a wall clock, a painting and a credenza, but when Bert Convy comes in through the same door later, the background is completely different. And again, when William Windom leaves his office after he's been fired, the background has changed again. (00:03:30 - 00:07:10)

A Question of Fear - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: Malloy places his flashlight on the floor about a foot and a half away from the door and at an angle. When he opens the door, the flashlight is now right up against the door and directly perpendicular to it.

A Question of Fear - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: A brick being shoved into place attracts Malloy's attention. The mortar is not neat and tidy, wet, and the bricks are slightly askew. When Malloy turns to face the brick wall, the mortar is neat, dry, and the bricks neatly laid.

Dr. Stringfellow's Rejuvenator - S2-E28

Continuity mistake: In the saloon, Stringfellow pours himself a drink and picks up his glass. When the camera angle reverses, his glass is back on the table and his hand is on the bottle instead. In the next shot, he's holding the glass again. (00:11:30)

Cool Air - S2-E35

Continuity mistake: During Juan and Agatha's dinner together, the camera circles them, passing behind Juan (where an "invisible" cut occurs) and continuing to move left around the table. Between the two segments, the position of Agatha's hands changes noticeably. (00:11:50)

Camera Obscura - S2-E36

Trivia: The closing scenes were shot through green-gold filters to give the streets a drab, hellish appearance. An appalled film lab technician tried to dye the sequence pink, and defied the director's order to "leave it green." NBC, the lab tech argued, would never accept those scenes because this was supposed to be color television. After demanding several re-dos, the director won the shouting match, the green prevailed, and NBC, apparently, never noticed.
