The Greatest American Hero

Heaven is in Your Genes - S3-E6

Revealing mistake: While Ralph is in mid-air, en route to the airport cafe, something dips into view at the top left corner of the screen. Then when Ralph takes off from that cafe, two shots later as he's in mid-air, we can see the shadow of the helicopter filming the background stock footage, but it's been flipped so the helicopter is flying backwards, and when more background footage is shown again the helicopter shadow is flying properly. (00:13:15)

Super Grover

Desperado - S3-E12

Revealing mistake: When Ralph picks up the guy who was stealing mustangs and takes off with him over his shoulder, while they're in the air the cushion under Ralph is visible in the closeups. (00:18:00)

Super Grover

The Greatest American Hero (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In one scene, Ralph is in a phone booth desperately trying to make a phone call. Ralph is nervous and panicky. But when you look at his reflection on the phone, you can see a big relaxed smile on him. When it cuts back to him, he is still acting nervous and panicky.
