Trivia Facts | Top Quotes | Goofs/Mistakes
  • Goof (revealing mistake): In several episodes (mostly from season 5 onward), you can see ceiling segments missing from the manor when low angle shots are used. The ceiling panels are in large square, sometimes rectangular segments that are able to be removed to position studio lights for certain shoots. In many scenes these are missing, revealing the open studio space above the set.
  • Goof (anachronisms): Throughout the series, stock aerial footage of San Francisco is used. The footage often contains the Embarcadero Freeway (I-480/CA-480) a structure that used to run along the San Francisco Bay north of the Bay Bridge. The structure was removed in 1991, a full seven years before the series started.
  • Goof (revealing mistake): In many episodes, when the front door of the manor is opened in an exterior shot there is clearly a solid wall behind it, however in the sets there is a long corridor behind the door.
  • Goof (revealing mistake): in several cases throughout the series the view seen through the attic window is inconsistent with the houses location (possibly the studio grounds).
  • Goof (revealing mistake): In several episodes, when the sisters are baking a pie, it is clearly visible that the pie crust is empty, even though the person baking the pie has poured in the filling earlier.
  • Goof (continuity error): The establishing shot of the Halliwell house shows Piper going in the door with a black umbrella with a white stripe around the outer edge. The next shot, from the interior, shows her hanging up a black umbrella with a floral print. This happened because the establishing shot comes from the original, unaired pilot but the interior scene was re-shot.

  • Goof (factual errors): When the mailman forms a key with his finger, he forms a Schlage brand key, but the deadbolt from the inside of the door is a Kwikset brand deadbolt.
  • Goof (crew or equipment visible): In the scene when Prue walks in and see's the "morphed" Andy looking around the house. He starts walking towards Prue and you can see in the back right side of the screen someone sitting in the kitchen, even though the house should be empty.
  • Goof (continuity error): In future episodes, evil cannot even touch the Book of Shadows (barring special circumstances), without it flying away.
