Ever watch a TV show and notice a piece of jewelry that wasn't there a frame ago or a rogue magazine that found its way to a table out of nowhere? These oops moments probably happen more than you think. Yup -- even the most critically acclaimed shows make mistakes, and we've got the pictures to prove it. Check out these blunders you may have missed from some of your favorite Emmy-winning comedies and dramas. As always, all photos are courtesy of Moviemistakes.com.

'Seinfeld' (1989 - 1998)

In Season 3, episode 12, Kramer takes the ribbon wrapping from Elaine's new cashmere sweater and wears it around his neck. In the wide shot of the apartment, the ribbon is suddenly gone, however, it appears around his neck once more in the following shot.

'24' (2001-2010)

In Season 1 episode 13, you can see a crew member kneeling when Jack, Kim, and Teri are at the compound.

'Frasier' (1993 - 2004)

Daphne's wrist brace first appears on her right arm, and in the end credits it is seen on her left arm.

'The Simpsons' (1989 - )

In the fifth episode of Season 7, Lisa pets a baby lamb next to a fence and some hay. In the next show, however, Lisa's surroundings have magically shifted -- the fence has moved and there's no hay in sight!

'Friends' (1994 - 2004)

In Season 2, Episode 7, "The One Where Ross Finds Out," a necklace suddenly appears around Rachel's neck when she finds out Ross and Julie are getting a cat.

'LOST' (2004-2010)

In Season 1 episode 6, Jin is handcuffed to the wreckage of the plane. After Sayid shouts, "The cuffs stay on!," the camera cuts to Sawyer, where a crew member's arm is clearly visible holding a reflector screen. Naturally, Sawyer then makes a sarcastic comment.

'Seinfeld' (1989 - 1998)

In Season 3, Episode 17, George is lying on the floor in his underwear with the newspaper on his right side when Jerry walks into the apartment. In the following shot, however, the newspaper is magically on George's left side.

'Will & Grace' (1998 - 2006)

Ellen and Rob are wearing wedding rings in the pilot episode, yet their wedding is not announced until the second season on the episode "An Affair to Forget."

'The Simpsons' (1989 - )

During the introduction for the later episodes, when Homer screams and turns around, you can see a rake in the garage in the wide shot. When he runs through the garage, however, the rake has disappeared and two boxes have taken it's place.

'Grey's Anatomy' (2005- )

In Season 2 episode 3, the handwriting of "Yang, C" and "2.5" completely changes from when a nurse writes on the board to when Burke notices the name on the board later in the episode.

'Friends' (1994 - 2004)

In Season 5, Episode 17, Joey is wearing a black top with a zipper as he counts the floors of Ross's building to find the so-called Hot Girl's apartment. When Joey knocks on the girl's door, though, he is mysteriously wearing a dark purple button down shirt. Moments later, Joey is wearing the black top again.
