Other mistake: When Phoebe and Ross are at JFK, some of the people who are at that airport are the same people who are also at Newark. It's particularly funny to see the people behind Ross and Phoebe at JFK when Phoebe claims they're on their honeymoon, and when it cuts to Rachel at Newark as she's looking for her boarding pass, those same people are there too.

The One With the Sharks - S9-E4
Other mistake: While Monica, Rachel, and Joey are seated at the table talking about Joey's problem, there's a Dasani water bottle on the table with part of the brand name painted black so it reads "Asav" on the label.

Toy Story (1995)
Other mistake: At the gas station, right after Woody tells Buzz that he found a space ship, while they're talking under the motor oil display we can see Woody's reflection on Buzz's helmet, but the reflection is not backwards - note the word "oil" and Woody's badge, etc.

Friends (1994)
The One With The Secret Closet - S8-E14
Other mistake: When Chandler stops by to see how Joey's doing after Rachel has moved out, Joey's holding a gallon jug of Minute Maid orange juice with its brand name partially painted to hide it, so it now reads "Vinut Vaio" on the label.

Friends (1994)
The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath - S8-E13
Other mistake: In the opening scene, while Joey's eating the bowl of Frosted Flakes the box is on the counter, and the brand name "Kellogg's" has been painted blue with its white line extended and covered with a sticker. At the end of the episode, when Joey's eating the Cocoa Puffs the box on the counter has the brand logos for General Mills covered with stickers on the front and sides.

The One Where the Monkey Gets Away - S1-E19
Other mistake: When Rachel's watching the soap opera on TV while babysitting Marcel, she and Marcel are sitting in the middle of the couch, but in the closeup of Dr. Francis we can see the reflection of the empty couch at the bottom of the TV screen.

Toy Story (1995)
Other mistake: While Sid's toys are working with Woody to get Scud out of the house, just as Hand-in-the-Box is holding the doorknob we can see the screw mounted on the latch's hasp below the loop - which really doesn't make any sense, but as Hand opens the door the screw has suddenly vanished from the hasp and is now properly mounted on the doorway's loop plate, where it's meant to be. If the screw were really mounted through the hasp, the door could not be opened.

The Anderson Tapes (1971)
Other mistake: After the Mayflower truck crashes into the police cars, the ramp is lowered at the back of the truck and the van quickly escapes down the ramp, but when it cuts to the wide shot of the action the van is not coming from the ramp's direction - it's on the street to the right of the truck and its ramp.

The Anderson Tapes (1971)
Other mistake: During the heist the Mayflower truck is parked at the building's 91st Street entrance, and the police have blockaded 5th Ave at the corners of E. 90th and 92nd Streets. When the guys try to flee the truck is driven down 91st so as to turn onto 5th Ave, and after the driver's close-up there's an overhead wideshot of 5th Ave and the truck should be coming from 91st, but it's actually coming from further up - towards 92nd Street, with the corner of 91st in front of it, which is impossible since it should have made the turn at 91st.

The Anderson Tapes (1971)
Other mistake: When the Mayflower truck is on the move picking everyone up for the heist, a mysterious hole appears above the truck's cab, cut out in the letter "o" in "Mayflower" when Pop is picked up, that wasn't there a moment before, and then it vanishes. The same thing occurs after the heist, when the truck crashes into the police cars.

Toy Story (1995)
Other mistake: There are six various bolts, locks, and latches on Sid's door above and below the doorknob, and some are in their locked positions when the door either opens or closes. For example, after Sid replaces the doll head with the pterodactyl head and calls Hannah, when the door opens we can see the dead bolt and slide latch are both slid out in their locked positions and yet Sid's able to open and shut the door, which is quite impossible.

Friends (1994)
The One With Ross' New Girlfriend - S2-E1
Other mistake: After Rachel takes the phone from Ross and hangs up on Julie, when she's sitting at the table there's a bottle of Evian water in front of Monica with part of its brand name covered - the letters "e" and "n" are whited out leaving "via" on the bottle.

Emergency! (1972)
Greatest Rescues of Emergency - S7-E5
Other mistake: After getting their promotions, Roy and Johnny start recalling their history together and when Johnny remembers joining the paramedic program he says he was at 8's, but Johnny was at 10's and it even shows the clip from the show's pilot where Johnny's standing behind Engine 10 talking with his Battalion Chief. The filming of the show's Station 10 was done at the real Station 8. As an aside, the real Station 8 was also seen in the 1950's TV show Rescue 8.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Other mistake: When Hawkeye finds the New York Times Crossword he says, "1 down, four letters..." and "1 across...four letters..." and BJ's answers are "chap" and "cast" but in the shot of the newspaper puzzle we see that both "1 down" and "1 across" are actually five letters each, not four.

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
My Fair Ernest T. Bass - S4-E17
Other mistake: Barney says, "I brought the car to drive you over to Mrs. Wiley's," but later when Andy, Barney, Ernest T., and Ramona leave Mrs. Wiley's we see that they're at the house that's actually next door to Andy - though to hide this fact there's a station wagon in the driveway, and they've removed the trellis beside the door.

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Other mistake: The safety goggles Barney wears is missing both of its lenses. While it's possible that Barney may wear the goggles just for the look, that possibility is negated when Barney states, "Every piece of equipment and wardrobe has a specific function: helmet - anti-crash; goggles - anti-foreign objects in eyes, that is gravel and/or bugs."

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Other mistake: When Barney, Thelma Lou, Helen, and Andy are in the squad car talking about getting dinner, there's black tape on the chrome trim of the triangular vent window - presumably to prevent the camera/crew's reflections; and the vent window is shut in wide shots, but open in the closeup - also to prevent reflections.

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Three Wishes for Opie - S5-E14
Other mistake: When Andy asks Floyd and Judd about who he's supposedly marrying it cuts to Helen walking down the street, and the grocery store has only one display window, when it should have two windows, and there's a brick wall adjacent to the window which shouldn't be there. (Shot at the soundstage not backlot).

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Three Wishes for Opie - S5-E14
Other mistake: When Barney uses the gypsy lamp and cards in the back room, in the shots with Goober and then with Opie while they're standing in the doorway, the wall opposite them has a barred window, but in earlier episodes that wall has the door that leads outside to the side of the building.

The Andy Griffith Show (1960)
Barney Runs for Sheriff - S5-E21
Other mistake: When Floyd tells Barney that he doesn't want to put Barney's campaign poster in the barbershop window because it spoils the decor, the reflection we see in the mirror behind Floyd is the church's front door and steps. This makes no sense at all because the reflection should be whatever is to the right of Floyd's, but the church is the opposite way - to the left, past the courthouse. The view in the mirror is a painted backdrop, but it's still quite wrong.
