Revealing mistake: When Cory opens up the curtains of his bungalow to show Topanga the beach, you can tell the background is just a backdrop, as there are no waves approaching the shore. (00:10:36)
Revealing mistake: When Eric picks up Cory to show him the "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow" dance, Cory screams that Eric is going to knock over the candles, upon which one of the candles on the desk is knocked over and sets fire to the curtains. If you look closely, neither Eric or Cory bump any of the candles nor the desk they are on, the candle just tips over on its own, suggesting an off-screen crew member used wire or string to pull the candle down. (00:07:18)
Continuity mistake: When Morgan is telling Topanga that she wouldn't use her bridesmaid's dress to wipe her ass, she gets cut off by Alan who covers her mouth with his left hand and then begins dragging her out of the reception hall. When the shot changes, he is covering her mouth with his right hand. (00:17:22)
No Such Thing as a Sure Thing - S7-E4
Revealing mistake: When the family is eating dinner, throughout the scene you can see Jack dabbing his fork into his mashed potatoes and raising the fork to his mouth with little to no potatoes on it in order to give the illusion that he is eating. (00:03:57 - 00:05:05)
For Love and Apartments - S7-E2
Other mistake: When Cory is trying to get Topanga's parents to reconcile, Topanga's mother mentions to her ex-husband about the "beautiful child they've made." Given that she says "child" in the singular, this can only refer to Topanga. However, the season 1 episode She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not established that Topanga had an older sister named Nebula. So the mistake is that either the show is acting like a character that was firmly established never existed, or Topanga's mother doesn't realise she has at least two children. (00:15:32)
For Love and Apartments - S7-E2
Character mistake: When Shawn is scolding Topanga for getting angry with Cory for travelling to Pittsburgh to try to get her parents back together, he mentions that he travelled a hundred miles to do so. Philadelphia is roughly 300 miles from Pittsburgh. Travelling only 100 miles westward from Philadelphia would barely get them past Hershey. (00:17:53)
Can I Help to Cheer You? - S6-E18
Continuity mistake: When Tommy is saying to Eric "We've been hanging out with each other for a long time now," Eric's coffee mug is mere inches from his face. When the shot changes, the mug is almost set down on the table. (00:00:58)
Continuity mistake: When Morgan emerges from the kitchen after Topanga picked her up from school, a wall is visible behind the door leading to the kitchen, even though the kitchen itself should be visible. (00:02:18)
Audio problem: When the waitresses are performing their song, you can tell they are lip syncing to a recording even though they are supposed to be giving a live performance. The vocals have a noticeable amount of reverb and are mixed evenly with the instrumental track despite the fact they aren't even using microphones. (00:06:49 - 00:09:00)
Continuity mistake: After Eric smears his hands all over Topanga's face, the amount of skin cream on her right cheek drastically decreases when she is telling Cory she's going to go wash her face. (00:14:35 - 00:15:00)
We'll Have A Good Time Then - S6-E13
Continuity mistake: The picture Rachel takes of Shawn, Jack and Chet is not consistent with the framed picture Jack receives. When Rachel takes the picture, Shawn's necklace is sticking out of his shirt collar slightly and positioned to the right and he has a lock of hair draped over his forehead on the left side of his face. In the framed picture, his necklace is protruding from his collar more prominently and positioned to the left, he has no lock of hair over his forehead, and his left hand can suddenly be seen on Chet's left shoulder. Additionally, the framed picture shows Chet with his head slightly tilted back and showing his teeth as he smiles, but when the picture was taken, his head was level and he only had a slight grin with no teeth showing. (00:04:49 - 00:21:10)
Santa's Little Helpers - S6-E11
Continuity mistake: When Shawn and Angela are talking in the student union building, Shawn's scarf is draped around his neck in an asymmetrical fashion, with the left side shorter than the right. When they sit down on the couch, he pulls the two sides to a symmetrical length. Throughout the rest of the time Shawn remains seated on the couch, the two sides alternate between being symmetrical and asymmetrical. (00:15:20 - 00:16:47)
And in Case I Don't See Ya - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Feeny is looking over Cory and Shawn's papers, he rests Shawn's paper on the plate with his omelet. When the shot changes, he is holding the paper in his left hand and it is raised away from the plate. (00:18:35)
You're Married You're Dead - S6-E8
Continuity mistake: When Cory realises he left his engagement ring at the club, he raises his left hand to his shoulder level. When the shot changes to him saying "My ring," he is shown raising his left hand again. (00:11:56)
Everybody Loves Stuart - S6-E7
Audio problem: When Eric walks into Cory's hearing to the theme of "The People's Court," we find out the sound is coming from a tape player in his briefcase. When he opens up the briefcase and pulls out the tape player to stop it, the volume remains the same. The volume should have increased once he opened the briefcase. (00:14:30)
Continuity mistake: When Eric and Jack place the red tablecloth on their counter, it barely drapes over the end of the counter that is facing the camera and completely covers the side that is on the viewer's left. A couple of shots later, the tablecloth is draped over the same end of the counter down to the floor, and the left side is now exposed. (00:05:06)
Better than Average Cory - S6-E5
Continuity mistake: When Rachel starts writing down that she is choking, she knocks a cup of water off the counter. After she spits out the hot dog she was choking on, the cup has reappeared on the counter. (00:06:38 - 00:07:00)
Better than Average Cory - S6-E5
Deliberate mistake: When Rachel is choking and writes down "I'm choking to death" on the paper on the counter so Jack will help her, you can see she is just scribbling the pen across the paper and not actually writing anything. (00:06:36)
Better than Average Cory - S6-E5
Character mistake: The placard next to Alexandra Nechita's painting "Peace Collector" erroneously calls the painting "Peace Collectors." Nechita herself appears in this episode, so it's odd that they got it wrong. (00:02:49)
Continuity mistake: When Rachel tackles Jack onto the couch and is straddling him, Jack's head ends up resting on the green and yellow pillow on the cushion closest to the door. After Jack says "She's sittin' on me, man," the shot changes and his head is now on the middle cushion. (00:16:06)
