Double Jeopardy - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: The director, Myrt Callahan, is talking to the producer while Higgins is on the phone with Robin Masters. Knox says that people can grieve and work at the same time, and she has both arms forward, but in the background when the camera focus is on Higgins we see her right hand on her waist.

Double Jeopardy - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: The lads greet Magnum growling at him. They pass by a table with a flower centerpiece on it. A minute later, the producer gives him the thumbs up as he walks out, saying "Welcome aboard"; the table gets back in frame, and now the flowers are gone and all there's left is a decorative plate. (00:05:15 - 00:06:55)

Double Jeopardy - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: Inside the study, Higgins is having Zeus and Apollo bite the dog handler. In the background, William B. Knox stands behind the armchair with his right hand over the left. The hands have instantly traded places in the next shot. (00:04:40)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?
