The Greatest American Hero

Who's Woo in America - S2-E21

Continuity mistake: At the rec center, when Ralph enters the reserved racquetball court two men force him onto the floor for another polygraph. Ralph's wearing striped socks, blue shorts with white stripes, a blue half-shirt with red/white stripes that bares his midriff, but in the closeups as Ralph sits down and has the polygraph hooked up, all the stripes on his clothing have vanished and Ralph's abdomen suddenly has a significant amount of dark hair. (00:20:55)

Super Grover

Divorce Venusian Style - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Pam finds one of the small communicators in the motel parking lot she's wearing pumpkin-color hosiery, but when Pam gets into her car and the ignition starts courtesy of the aliens, in the closeups of Pam's legs she is not wearing any hose at all and her shoes differ. (00:17:50)

Super Grover

Divorce Venusian Style - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Bill and Ralph are returned to Earth they show Pam the instruction book. Pam is wearing pink nail polish, but in the closeup as she opens the book and sees the alien writing Pam's fingernails don't have nail polish. (00:32:20)

Super Grover

Divorce Venusian Style - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: After Zedlocker uses the blow torch on the red suit, for the next bullet test they hang the suit over the black metal fireplace screen, but in the closeup it's hanging over an entirely different type of screen with a wood frame. (00:34:15)

Super Grover

Divorce Venusian Style - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Pam, Ralph, and Bill are in the wiener wagon, Bill pulls over and uses the curbside telephone to call Phillips. Bill is wearing a grey jacket and white tee shirt underneath, but as Bill hangs up the phone in the closeup the reflection on the pay telephone's chrome surface shows someone who is wearing a short-sleeve light blue shirt. (00:34:45)

Super Grover

Desperado - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: While King's ranch hands are illegally gathering up the mustangs, Matt gets on the walkie talkie to tell others to go after the black stallion, then when two of the men on horseback chase the stallion the horses they're riding change during this scene - note the white facial markings and coat. (00:04:15)

Super Grover

Desperado - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: After Ralph stops two of King's ranch hands from getting Desperado, Ralph is beaten up and left lying on the ground, then just as Desperado nudges Ralph awake Ralph's shirt is entirely different in this shot. Also, note the horse's feed on the ground under Ralph, used to keep the horse's attention so it appears to be nudging Ralph. (00:05:45)

Super Grover

Desperado - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: The small horse trailer hitched up to the back of Ralph and Pam's station wagon has the license plate number, T-479E5, which is visible a few times, then when Ralph is on King's property he gets a vision of Desperado's location, and just as Ralph does his vanishing thing, one of King's horse trailers has the same license plate with the number, T-479E5. (00:13:50 - 00:33:50)

Super Grover

Reseda Rose - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Ralph is flying to Simpsons house, he continuously flies over the same area 5 to 6 times...meaning it is just reused footage. (00:20:50 - 00:21:40)
