Continuity mistake: After Fred secures the chain lock to the front door, with the chain mounted onto the frame of the door, Fred then slides the chain into the door's slide-catch to show Lucy the "burglarproof chain." When Ethel opens the door the chain itself is ripped off the frame, leaving the chain (and the piece that was screwed to the frame) dangling from the slide-catch attached to the door, but in Ethel's closeup the chain is still mounted to the door's frame.

Mike & Molly (2010)
Continuity mistake: After Mike's mother tells him that she heard a prowler, when it cuts to Mike and Carl showing up at her house we see that the window is wide open, but when they move in closer ordering the "sicko" to come out of the hedge, the window is closed as it should be, until Mike's mother opens it when she sees that the "pervert" is actually Kay. (00:00:55)

The Brady Bunch (1969)
Continuity mistake: When Marcia takes her last turn placing a card at the top of the tall house of cards, in the shots facing her she's stressed about accidentally collapsing the cards so she holds back her charm bracelet with her left hand, but in the first shot facing the three boys Marcia's left arm is down at her side and the charm bracelet is dangling at her wrist, right beside the cards. (00:21:00)

The Brady Bunch (1969)

The Brady Bunch (1969)
Deliberate mistake: During Peter's party, when the girls start to gather around Peter to try and convince him that he's not dull, there's a closeup of Peter that's a flipped shot. Additionally, when everyone runs out for the fire drill, Peter's striped tie is tied very differently - it goes from grey/gold at the top to burgundy at the top.

Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: After Judy boots Nick's stroller, when she tells Nick that bunnies are good at multiplying she turns the top white page inside her blue folder, so it's lying at the left side, but in the next closeup we see there's no paper at the left side and the 1040 tax form is the top page in the folder. (00:35:50)

Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Judy catches the runaway donut sign that almost squashes Fru Fru, a bunch of little brown donut "crumbs" sprinkle all over the street around Fru Fru, but in the overhead shot of Fru Fru the street is perfectly clean. (00:30:25)

Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Big is sitting in his chair talking to Nick and Judy, the chair moves itself further back from the edge of the desk.
18th Nov 2016
Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: During Judy's chase, Duke Weaselton falls beside the large donut sign and the bag filled with flower bulbs lands on the street near the sign, but in the shot of Judy running down the street yelling, "Stop right there" the bag has moved much further up the road beside double yellow road lines. Then, after Weaselton kicks the donut and it rolls down the street, the bag has vanished from both areas, though the bag reappears after Judy saves Fru Fru.
18th Nov 2016
Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: After Judy apologizes to Nick they drive off in her truck, and in the first shot of them we see two strips of red tape on the seat back - one over the veggies and one behind Nick. In the next shot facing Judy, there's no Nick where he should be (note the tape), and in the next shot facing Nick, the veggies are closer to Judy (again, note the tape). Then Judy holds her arm out to show Nick the picture of Duke and her phone is beside the tape that should be behind Nick, but in the shot facing Nick, Judy's phone isn't even past the veggies.
18th Nov 2016
Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Judy heads into her first roll call at ZPD, the bulletin board is on the front wall with all the missing victims' photos, but when Chief Bogo walks in some of the photos are rearranged and there are more photos.
18th Nov 2016
Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Otterton is in Chief Bogo's office holding her family photo with both paws, in the wideshots her purse is hanging in the crook of her left arm, but after a brief shot of Judy, when it cuts to Mrs. Otterton's closeup as she tells Bogo about her two beautiful children her purse is gone, then after another brief shot of Judy the purse is back in its place again in the wideshot.
18th Nov 2016
Zootopia (2016)
Continuity mistake: When the landlady shows Judy to her "luxury apartment" note the position of the vertical deadbolt lock affixed to the front door and jamb, but the next morning when Judy leaves for the ZPD, as she unlocks the door the deadbolt lock has moved higher up on the door and jamb (note wallpaper). Additionally, just as Judy opens the door we can see that although the interior deadbolt is affixed higher, its key cylinder on the exterior side is much lower, which makes no sense, but then the deadbolt is back to normal.

Emergency! (1972)
Daisy's Pick Blind Date - S4-E7
Other mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to "man needs assistance", in the exterior shot as the squad rolls out of the apparatus bay we can see Engine 51 still inside the bay, but the real Station 127's engine is parked right beside the station house.
Continuity mistake: While Eddie performs "Hot Patootie", he's seated on the motorcycle with Columbia for a bit, and when Eddie stands up he's holding the mic in his left hand, but as he walks up the steps it's in his right hand, then next shot when he's facing Frank-N-Furter the mic is in Eddie's left hand, and next shot it's back to his right hand again.
