Double Date - S3-E1

Visible crew/equipment: At the start, while Mr. Roper is in the kitchen the faucet sprays water and the doorbell rings. Note the cabinets and wall behind him. When Roper walks out of the kitchen, as the swing door is open we can see the kitchen, and the upper cabinets are split apart with the wall missing, so the area behind the kitchen set is visible. (00:00:50)

The Money Machine - S8-E3

Helen's Job - S2-E13

Visible crew/equipment: Janet stops Helen from leaving, says she can't handle seeing her beat. After Helen's speech about winning the war, as the camera zooms out, a piece of set equipment is briefly visible at the top of the screen. (00:16:55)

Strange Bedfellows - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Roper tries to explain to the girls and his wife what he was doing in Jack's bedroom, watch over Mr. Roper's left shoulder on the shelf. The number of yellow cans on the shelf keep alternating between one and two cans throughout several minutes. In addition, also notice the suitcase on the floor under the shelf as well. Whenever one yellow can is shown, the suitcase is by itself and whenever two yellow cans are shown, there is a square silver bag in front of the suitcase.

Show generally

Question: What is the picture of women on the walls of the set? Not the butterfly picture, the others.

Answer: I believe you are referring to the artwork of Alphonse Mucha. On the wall next to the front door was "Feather" (which is one half of "Primrose and Feather"). Above the telephone in early episodes was "Zodiac". Also seen through The Apartment was "Spring" and "Autumn".

Answer: Or, you may be referring to Tranquillo Cremona's High Life (A Piquant Conversation), which hangs above the side table.
