Visible crew/equipment: When Molly walks into the "memory lane" tent at the carnival, four shots in we can see the reflection of a crewmember (moving dark silhouette) on the glass display beside the entrance. Then as Molly turns the crank and looks into the Mutoscope, in the wideshot we can see a crouching male crewmember hiding behind the case, at the left side of the screen. (00:28:15)

Toy Story (1995)
Other mistake: When Rex shakes the table causing the baby monitor to fall, the batteries fall out and we see the open battery compartment with markings for positive (+) and negative (-), and space for two AA batteries. Woody jumps off the bed and places the two batteries inside the compartment, but before he closes the compartment note the position of the battery closest to the top of the monitor. The positive side is actually where the negative side should be so the monitor should not work, but the monitor turns on just in time to hear the soldier's warning. (00:13:15)

Toy Story (1995)
Continuity mistake: All the walls in Andy's room have white wainscoting with the cloud wallpaper on the upper part of the walls, but in the opening shot of the room we see behind the "saloon" box that the cloud wallpaper covers the wall all the way down to the baseboard. The tall dresser isn't where it should be as well. (00:00:40)

Bonanza (1959)
Springtime - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: While Adam and Ted Hackett are talking on the front porch, in the exterior shot we can see the tablecloth inside the house is solid white, but in the interior shots the tablecloth has a red/white check type pattern. (00:31:15)

Bonanza (1959)
Springtime - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Adam introduces himself to Ted Hackett, the back-junction on Ted's Y-back braces is bunched up as he and Adam are walking through the doorway, but in the next interior shot of them entering the home, the Y-back is suddenly lying properly. (00:31:35)

I Love Lucy (1951)
Revealing mistake: At the end of Lucy and Van Johnson's dance, Ricky and everyone else clap as Lucy walks through the curtain to head "backstage', and in the next shot just as Lucy walks through the curtain we catch a glimpse of Desi Arnaz standing there waiting for his cue. Then in a few moments Ricky, Ethel, Fred, and Caroline all rush in excitedly to congratulate Lucy. (00:24:55)

Extant (2014)
Visible crew/equipment: After Molly coughs up blood while she's with Dorothy, when it cuts to Julie walking into the Humanichs lab, as the camera pans to the right we can see the reflection of a crewmember (crouching behind a cup) on the glass wall. (00:35:55)

Cheers (1982)
One for the Road (2) - S11-E27
Audio problem: While Sam and Dianne are at Melville's after both of their lies have been revealed, when Dianne tells Sam that she came back on a quest for the truth, we hear Sam respond, "And you just brought along your one-man Warren Commission there," but his mouth is saying something entirely different. (00:12:15)

One for the Road (1) - S11-E26
Continuity mistake: After Don leaves the bar, a few minutes later Frasier shouts at him, "Run, Don! Run like the wind!" and Rebecca is left sitting alone at the table crying, but when it cuts to the overhead shot of the bar we see Don is still sitting at the table, even though he left five minutes earlier. (00:07:05 - 00:08:15)

Cheers (1982)
One for the Road (1) - S11-E26
Visible crew/equipment: When Rebecca leaves Don at the table to relax while she gets champagne to "celebrate the answer", it cuts to an overhead shot as we hear the TV host introduce Salman Rushdie and Dr. Ruth, and the set lighting can be seen as well as the boom and mic moving around at the top of the screen. A few minutes later the mic can be seen bobbing again in the overhead shot from the same angle. (00:03:20 - 00:08:20)

Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence (1998)
Continuity mistake: Just as "Martha - meet Frank, Daniel, and Lawrence" appears onscreen, we see Daniel and Martha's airplane take off, and when the airplane lands its tail/fin are entirely different. (00:07:00 - 00:12:40)
1st Jan 2017
Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence (1998)
Deliberate mistake: While Laurence is driving to the park trying to find Martha there are closeups of his car en route, and one of the closeups of the front left side of his car is a flipped shot, note the backwards "Saab" and the surface damage which is actually at the right side of his car. (00:56:00)

Continuity mistake: When Andy has Woody slide down the banister there's a green/white striped rug directly in front of the door, but when the area of the floor in front of the door can be seen from the living room such as when Andy shouts, "Score," the rug is gone, then it reappears when Andy rushes back upstairs to get Molly. (00:02:40)
1st Jan 2017
Toy Story (1995)
Continuity mistake: During the earlier scenes in Andy's room Molly's bottle is beside the lamp on the small wicker dresser near the crib, and it disappears and reappears, such as when Buzz wants to prove he can fly he stands on the bed's footboard and the bottle is gone, but it reappears when he lands on the race track. (00:19:00)
31st Dec 2016
Toy Story (1995)
Continuity mistake: Near the start, when Andy uses the recliner chair's footrest to catapult Woody to the couch, the footrest remains extended while Andy's with his mother, but a moment later when Andy grabs Woody to head upstairs the recliner footrest has closed on its own. (00:03:10)

Deliberate mistake: While Donnie is training at Front Street Gym, when Rocky repeats, "One step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time," the closeup of two children watching from outside the ring is a flipped shot, note the backwards Nike swoosh logo and Everlast ring rope spacer.

Twisted (2004)
Continuity mistake: After Jessica fails John's "test" detailing the crime scene photos on the bulletin board behind her, it cuts to Jessica back at her apartment. In the closeup we see Jessica polish off the glass of wine she's drinking, and in the next wideshot from behind she lowers the glass from her mouth, but in the next closeup her glass is half full, even though she never refilled the wine.
