| 1 | Grey's Anatomy | We see a nurse writing down "Yang, C" on the assignments board; note the handwriting. Later, when Burke notices that Christina's name is on the board, the handwriting of "Yang, C" is completely different and other minor writing differences are noticeable too. |
| 2 | Supernatural | When the Carlton son reaches in to pull the plug out of the sink you can see the plug chain on the cutting board to the left of the sink before he even reaches in, then he pulls it out and puts the plug chain on the board. |
| 3 | Hawaii Five-0 | When Vogler stands in the doorway talking to Danno, the position of his arms alternates with each change of shot, from down at his sides to propped at 90-degree angles on his hips. |
| 4 | The Incredible Hulk | When the Hulk throws Mr. Malone in the river during his second transformation, the first shot is too long and we see that he would fall a few feet from the closest river shore. But in the second shot he is flying like crazy and almost lands on the remote river shore. |
| 5 | Doctor Who (2005) | Considering the Jadoon have just walked across the Moon from their ship, there's very little Moon dust on their boots. Maybe they have advanced alien boots which repel this kind of thing. |

| 7 | How I Met Your Mother | When Robin is talking to her boss about his dog, the pens and pencils in the holder on his desk change depending on the camera angle. |
| 8 | Scrubs | When JD is talking to Carla in the cafeteria, she tells him that it's nearly 5:00. But up to that point, you can see the bottom half of the clock behind him and the hour hand is not visible. It only appears after she tells him the time. |
| 9 | Bones | At the funeral, Bones places a rose on top of several other roses on the coffin of the murder victim. When the victim's parents approach the coffin to place their rose on it, most of the roses have vanished. |
| 10 | Firefly | During the duel, after Atherton breaks Mal's sword, he puts the blade to Mal's chest with his arm straight and his wrist slightly bent. The angle changes, and Atherton is suddenly holding the sword with his elbow bent and a straight wrist, in a completely different manner. |
| 11 | Friends | In the scene where Chandler confronts Janice about Joey seeing her kissing her ex-husband, Janice begins to hyperventilate. However, right before Chandler gives her the paper bag, Janice spins around and places the receipt in her mouth. Conveniently, after she begins breathing into the bag, she "chokes" on a receipt. |
| 12 | King of the Hill | In the season four episode "Nancy Boys", when Nancy calls John Redcorn and tells him that she wants him back, he says, "I'm thirty-six years old. I don't need this crap." Later, in the season nine episode "Redcorn Gambles With His Future", while John is talking to Hank, he mentions waking up one day and realizing that he is forty. If four years had passed since his break-up with Nancy, then Bobby and Joseph would now be sixteen and at least sophomores in high school, but they are still in middle school. |
| 13 | Fringe | The contagion used on Flight 627 was apparently so contagious that every passenger became infected in seconds. However, when John is infected with the contagion, Olivia, Peter, Walter, and the other doctors are able to tend to to him without getting infected. |
| 14 | My Name Is Earl | Episode 10 of Season 4 ("Earl and Joy's Anniversary") has Earl yelling "Fire!" from inside the Crabshack's restroom. As he does, a woman with dark brown hair and wearing a blue plaid shirt gets up from her table to evacuate the restaurant. A long shot outside the restroom of Earl yelling "Fire!" has the same woman getting up and leaving again. |
| 15 | Numb3rs | When Jose Salazar is eventually arrested, he is knocked to the ground, and handcuffed behind his back. However, the next shot shows Jose pushing himself up with his own hands. His hands are then behind his back in the following shot. |
| 16 | The Big Bang Theory | The Tangerine Factor: When Penny is talking to Leonard about who read her Ex's blog, she has a spoon full of ice-cream. Camera cuts and it's now empty. |
| 17 | Teen Titans | When the Titans land the T-Ship at the royal palace, the ground beneath it is bare and empty, but when Galfor brings Starfire and the Titans up to date on current events, the ground is suddenly teeming with parked Denthrax fighters. A giant fleet full of ships that had just attacked them would certainly tip the Titans off immediately, and if the Denthrax had cloaking technology, they would have used it against the Titans while they were still in space above Tamaran. |
| 18 | Babylon 5 | Throughout this and the previous episode, Centauri's Regent mispronounces the name of his own planet as "Centuri." Only as he's dying does he finally correctly call his homeworld "Centauri." |
| 19 | Frasier | When Niles and Daphne are at Cafe Nervosa, the empty coffee cup on their table changes position frequently between shots. |
| 20 | Zoey 101 | Season 4, episode 7 "Walk-a-thon": In the opening scene, when Lola is knitting, the wool constantly changes back and forth from being on the needle to off, and from being tangled to tidy. |
| 21 | CSI: Miami | During many of the episodes, we often see an overhead shot one of the CSI agents in the Hummer speeding down the Miami (or Los Angeles, where it is filmed) highway systems to a crime scene or what not. If you pay close attention, there is almost never <i>any</i> other traffic on the highways besides them. Very unlikely if not impossible, especially in Miami (or Los Angeles). |
