The Mentalist

Show generally

Revealing mistake: Any time any character is driving a Suburban, or any other vehicle with a column mounted shift lever, the shifter is in park while they appear to be driving.

Orange Blossom Ice Cream - S7-E3

Revealing mistake: Right after Jane and Lisbon rumble Erica Flynn and send video of her being arrested back to the FBI, Cho enters and asks to speak with Vega. In the shot of Vega sitting down, one of the computers in the office (centre of frame) has an Apple logo on the back that the production team forgot to cover up with a sticker like all the others.

Strawberries and Cream: Part 1 - S3-E23

Plot hole: In the heat of killing fake Red John, Jane forgot to notice that Craig O'Laughlin never knew about the mall setup to lure Red John. So definitely Gale Bertram himself was in contact with the serial killer which he may have missed first up, but all that time in jail afterwards he could have figured it out.
