The Worst Mistakes In Big TV Shows

Some of our favorite TV shows from the past and present have the ability to keep us on the edge of our seats and make us laugh out loud. And every great program has an equally talented set of actors, producers, directors, and camera crew who work diligently to make sure each scene is executed flawlessly. But even the best shows are prone to making mistakes from time to time. From Friends to The Big Bang Theory and Sons of Anarchy, here are 15 biggest mistakes in popular TV shows.
Supernatural
The two stars of the series, Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester) and Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) were at the center of an epic mistake that we can’t believe made it on air.
In the first season, Jensen Ackles’ character (Dean Winchester) calls Jared Padalecki by his real first name instead of calling him Sam. Another blunder occurred when the two characters chased a demon onto a flight. Padalecki’s character can be heard saying, “If she’s possessed, she’ll flinch at the name of God. In Latin it’s Christo.” It’s just too bad “Christo” is the actual name for Christ, not God. On top of that, it’s a Greek word, not Latin.
Breaking Bad
The episode, which was supposed to take place in 2010, had one character reference the death of al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden. The only issue was, bin Laden was killed by American forces in May 2011.
Another hilarious mistake happened when Walt breaks into the home belonging to Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) to steal his stash, and a crew member can be spotted in plain view hiding behind one of the doors.
Lost
As Oceanic flight 815 crashes, releasing a cloud of smoke into the air, the character Gary Troup was one of the first to meet an untimely death when he got sucked into one of the plane’s engines. In that same scene, a black object can be seen darting over the plane and into the sky. Was it a bird? Was it a plane? Or perhaps it was a ghost? Conspiracy theorist had a field day with this, but come to find out, it was nothing more than an error with the computer-generated effect.
Firefly
The Western drama Firefly only lasted for 1 season, and it still managed to make a huge mistake in its pilot episode. When the crew on the ship Serenity is attempting to get away from the cannibalistic Reavers, actor Alan Tudyk (Hoban "Wash" Washburne) is steering the ship, but the steering wheel is completely missing in action! Another epic mistake showed some of the ship’s motorized vehicles being pulled by the hands of show’s crew members.
Big Bang Theory
In one episode, Sheldon misquoted the rules of Gremlins by saying "don't feed the gremlins after midnight". When actually it's the mogwai that you shouldn't feed after midnight, because they'll turn into gramlins.
In another scene, Amy made us all scratch our heads when she insisted that the Viennese danish was invented in Denmark.
But that’s not all. The writers seem to forget certain storylines and running gags. Leonard supposedly can’t drink wine, but this character trait has been tossed, and Leonard has been seen enjoying a glass.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy and Faith (Eliza Dushku), Buffy’s nemesis and fellow Slayer, got into a vicious smackdown in season 4. As the camera filmed the two actresses viciously fighting each other and tumbling down a flight of stairs, viewers could clearly see a cameraman directly in the shot. After the embarrassing incident, the show went through a lengthy editing process to remove the cameraman from the scene in reruns of the episode.
Battlestar Galactica
Filming a show without including a cameraman in the shot appears to be tougher than we thought. The 2004 sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica also committed this gaffe. When Karl “Helo” Agathon (Tahmoh Penikett) and The Chief (Aaron Douglas) got into a brawl, a camera operator can be seen directly in the frame. Another glaring mistake occurred when President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) got re-elected. There was another wayward cameraman hanging out in the background of that shot.
Friends
In one episode, Chandler and Monica were waiting for a table at a restaurant, and she suggested that he slip the host some money in the palm of his hand so they could be seated faster. Chandler dropped the ball and put the money in the wrong hand during the handoff.
He asks Monica if Richard (her ex) use to slip people notes. But in Series 2 there was an episode where Chandler and Joey were doing impressions of Richard, one of which was slipping money to each other with any problem! So for some reason Chandler has forgotten that Richard used to slip money and also seems to have lost the ability to slip people money himself.
