I noticed an interesting little continuity issue on an episode of Good Eats aired on The Food Network last night. I believe the episode was called “Wonton Ways”. The episode focused, unsurprisingly enough, on Wonton Wrappers.

At one point in the episode Alton is cooking Pot Stickers in a skillet, and Mr. Brown warns the viewer to leave them alone for two minutes, and then we see him walk out of the shot. On the shelf behind him is a large clock that reads 4:09.

When he returns seconds later (we are lead to believe a two minute time lapse has occured), the clock still reads 4:09. Indeed in a couple of subsequent shots, we can see that the reading on the clock has not changed.

Mr Brown, I think thy clock is defunct or in need of some AA’s.

Otherwise, it was another of his fine shows.
