Corrected entry: Kate said Lyn could start her training at SophistiKate's Nail Bar on Friday, when she is off, because her assistant needs help. If her assistant was alone on Friday, surely its a bad idea to have a trainee start at the same time. If both workers were in, then one could train Lyn while the other sees to clients, but in the way Kate describes here, her assistant would be busier than before.

Alvin and the Chipmunks meet Frankenstein (1999)
Corrected entry: In the same scene where the blanket shrinks to the size of a cape, you can see Alvin's bed behind that has no blanket on it. You can also see Theodore's bed which never had the blanket taken off but that too is bare.
Correction: Alvin's bed has no blanket on it because Simon is using it as a cape. You can only see the very top of Theodore's bed, where the pillow and the top of the blanket is. The blanket has a light green border at the top, before it is checkered. Which is what you see in the tiny bit of Theodore's bed that's in the shot.

Wacky Races (1968)
Corrected entry: Dick Dastardly is seemingly unable to win, yet always manages to get in front of all the other racers several times a race. He gets in front to boobytrap the race course, which usually backfires, making him further behind. He then ends up in front again somehow. Since he manages to advance through sections of the racecourse so fast and so many times, it makes no sense to why he can't simply win the race fair and square when he obviously must have the skills/car to do so.
Correction: Not really a plot hole. Remember that Dastardly and Muttley are both phenomenally stupid and villainous so it is within their character not to realize that they could win the race honestly.

Neighbours (1985)
Corrected entry: Serena and Sky went to the new club called "Out" but from what you could see of the name outside the club it was obviously not called "Out".
Correction: I live in Australia and it is very common here for people to run clubs/disco nights in rented halls/clubs. Therefore although the name of the club they are going to is "Out" the name on the hall may be completely different.

Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: Awsome Express deliver 1,000,000 newspapers a day. The phone call Leela answered was someone who hadn't gotten their paper in at least two days (Leela exclaimed "How long?"). However, when the dumped, missing papers are delivered by Planet Express, they deliver only once to each of the houses and they stay in the original area where Awsome Express used to deliver, yet somehow they finished delivering at least 1,000,000 papers.
Correction: It's not inconceivable that they made several runs, delivering the papers in order of printing (First one run with Tuesday's paper, then one with Wednesday's, etc). It would be a lot easier than to sort everything into bundles of three papers for every customer. And just because you don't see them delivering to more than the original area, it does not mean that they don't.

Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: The lab has a santa-proof outer layer that covers the windows, but at the end, you cab see that the window behind them all isn't covered.
Correction: That's because Santa has already passed their house (delivering Zoidberg's present, etc.) so they don't need the armor any more.

Urban Legend (1998)
Corrected entry: The killer's face is masked by the parka hood, but when we find out it is Brenda, the hood no longer hides her face. The hood should still make her face disappear because it was masking the face to everyone, not just the audience.
Correction: Not quite. If you watch when The main girl and the janitor are in the car when the killer is trying to push them off the road, when the killer is driving next to them there is a split second where it shows that the killer appears to have a balaclava on. Who's to say she just didnt take it off when she wanted to finally be unmasked ?

Futurama (1999)
The Farnsworth Paradox - S5-E10
Corrected entry: In "I Dated a Robot" the gang travel to the edge of the universe and see their parallel cowboy selves (which Farnsworth stated was the only parallel universe). In this episode, the box leads to a different (non-cowboy) universe where the outcome of flipping a coin is different. They then all go through many boxes each with many more parallel universes in them. David X Cohen mentions that this is a mistake on the commentary.
Correction: Even though David X Cohen has admitted it I fail to see the mistake. Up to discovering the various parallel universes in boxes, they thought that the cowboy universe was the only parallel universe. They were clearly surprised when they ended up in the parallel universe with the opposite coin flips, and since "I Dated a Robot" was produced and aired before "The Farnsworth Parabox" there is really no problem continuity-wise.

Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: When the Professor and Mom's clothes are thrown around the bedroom, their teeth are in jars next to the bed (they are definitely theirs as they comment on it on the DVD commentary.) The problem with this is that both of them are "wearing" their teeth, as can be seen when they talk.
Correction: Like most people, they have two (or more) pair of dentures - one is being cleaned, one is in use. Nothing unusual about that.

The Simpsons (1989)
The Old Man and the C Student - S10-E20
Corrected entry: Homer flushes his springs one by one and sings a parody of "10 green bottles", but with flushing springs. He goes from 999 to 996 but doesn't flush the toilet enough times to get to that number.
2nd Jan 2004
Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: It is revealed in a later episode that Leela wears a bracelet under he her wrist device. She isn't wearing it when the device escapes her wrist, although the bracelet is the only thing she has of her "true identity".
Correction: You have provided your own correction. 'In a later episode ...' Perhaps the significance of the bracelet (the link to her childhood) wasn't apparent until some future event (which we don't see) and she had it in her jewellery box, pocket, bank vault, whatever, until that point?

Futurama (1999)
My Problem With Popplers (a.k.a. The Problem With Popplers) - S2-E18
Corrected entry: Leela licks each of her four fingers only once but the sound of licking a finger plays five times.
Correction: She licks her thumb twice.
2nd Jan 2004
Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: Leela told Fry not to tell anyone his real identity, but she shouts out his name when they are in the museum.
Correction: She's under stress and she forgets. It happens.
2nd Jan 2004
Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: Bender is a Bending Unit, but on the [pi]kea instructions, there is a clear picture of Bender on the "what you need" section. Why would a bending unit be required? He does all the sawing and screwing, etc. but no bending and in the first episode he claims that all he can do is bend and that is all he is worth.
Correction: We don't get to see the entire process of putting the pIkea item together, it is possible some bending was required. Besides, by this stage Bender has gained a personality and has learned self-worth, ambition and pride. The Pikea instructions provide for a bender unit like the one from 'How Hermes Rewuesitioned His Groove Back', after Bender's CPU was reduced to that of a bender unit and nothing else, a mindless automaton who could not think for himself.

Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: During the flashback, Fry's shadow can be seen along with Nibbler's when the chair falls over. Fry didn't go back in time until "The Why of Fry", so anything that happened before this episode should only show Nibbler's shadow.
Correction: Not true, it was always Fry who caused himself to go into the future. Even though it doesn't happen until later on in the series, he still travelled back in time to the beginning of the series.
12th Dec 2003
Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: Bender is 30% Iron, 40% Zinc, 40% Titanium and 40% Dolomite. Thats 150%.
Correction: Not true. He sells his 40% titanium parts in one episode and sells some more parts and even explodes in later episodes.
17th Dec 2003
Coronation Street (1960)
Corrected entry: 15th Dec '03 - In reference to a previous joke about christmas gifts, Katie was out shopping and saw a xylophone in the window (the gift Martin said that she definately wouldn't be getting him), but it was a glockenspiel in the shop, not a xylophone.
Correction: Many many people make that mistake of getting the two mixed up, she might not be very musically talented. Character mistake, but not a movie mistake.
12th Dec 2003
Futurama (1999)
Corrected entry: A film shows that global warming was temporarily stopped by dropping ice into the sea. However, in 'Xmas Story', Leela says 'nuclear winter' cancelled out global warming.
Correction: True, but remember that the people of the year 3000 also believe that ancient humans hunted whales on the moon and that cars were made using robots with giant clubs. The show has proven itself to not know exactly what did happen (Except for the second coming of Jesus) in the past 1,000 years on a consistent basis.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Corrected entry: Toons can only be killed by 'Dip', but the weasel operating the 'Dip' cannon is killed when he falls into the machinery.
Correction: They can be killed by other means as well. Remember the other weasels laughing themselves to death?
2nd Jan 2004
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Corrected entry: The weasels (bearing in mind they were working for an evil murderer) had angels/ghosts when they died, but the 'innocent' shoe toon killed earlier in the film didn't.
Correction: A toon death is different from a dip death.
