We asked people of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what mistakes they noticed on TV shows. Here are some of their eye-opening responses:

1. Sabrina the Teenage Witch started when Sabrina turned 16, yet there are four seasons of her in high school, with each season having a Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day episode implying that another year had passed. She doesn’t start college until Season 5, which would mean she was in high school as a 20-year-old.

2. In the Gossip Girl pilot episode, Chuck said something about taking his mom's pills, but later in the show it’s revealed that she died during childbirth.

3. In The Office, Pam’s mom visited during the early seasons before Pam and Jim were together. However, later in the series, Pam's mom was played by a different actor.

8. When Brittany and Santana were talking by the lockers in Season 2, Episode 22 of Glee, Brittany’s bangs would constantly switch from being clipped back to flowing loose.

10. Carrie had a sister named Sara in the early episodes of The King of Queens. She disappeared sometime in the first season and was never mentioned again.

"She was part of the main cast and lived in the house with them. It was also a double meaning for the show’s title, as Doug was the 'king' and Carrie and Sara were the 'queens.'"

11. In Season 4 of Glee, Joe and Sugar were inexplicably no longer members of glee club. They come back in the Season 4 finale to perform with them at Regionals, but then they are gone again in Season 5.

12. When Veronica is a high school senior in Riverdale, she gets accepted to Harvard's class of 2024, meaning she was part of the high school class of 2020. However, in Season 5, there is a seven-year time jump where she claims it was now 2021.

21. And in Season 3 of Riverdale, FP celebrates his 50th birthday. This season took place at some point in the 2010s. But based on a flashback episode earlier that season, he was a high school junior in the early '90s. So basically, it was impossible for him to be 50 during any point of the 2010s.
