- Anachronisms: In Pleasantville's high school gymnasium, three-point lines can be seen on the basketball courts. The three-point shot rule was not adopted in the NBA until the early 1980s and in high schools until even later.
- Anachronisms: The year of the TV show "Pleasantville" is 1958. Later, in the malt shop they listen to Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" which was released in 1959.
- Continuity: At the end of the film when David/Bud returns to his own world, his hair changes from when he is in the living room to when he is in the kitchen with his mom.
- Continuity: In the final scenes with the '90's mother crying in the kitchen her eye make-up goes from messy to less messy and then back to the previous level of messy.
- Continuity: On their way to school on the first day, Jennifer/Mary Sue gets angry and pulls her hair clips out - just before Skip pulls up in his car. After Skip drives away her hair is suddenly clipped back again.
- Continuity: The announcer in the beginning states that the Pleasantville marathon was 24 hours long, starting at 6:30 PM. The announcer at the end states that the marathon will end at noon tomorrow.
- Continuity: The flag outside the school has 48 stars, the correct number for 1958. The one atop the fire truck has 50 stars. By 1958, it was well known that the 50-star flag would be introduced soon, and 50-star flags were available, but it still seems unlikely that an official vehicle would be flying an unofficial flag (especially since the official flag in 1959 had 49 stars).
- Continuity: When a rock is thrown through the window of the soda shop, it goes through the face of the woman in the painting. A moment later, another item is thrown, also breaking the window in a different place, but the woman's face is intact again.
- Continuity: When Jennifer and David are fighting over the remote control before the Pleasantville Marathon starts at 6:30, they momentarily go to the Prevue Channel. The time shown on that channel is 1:16, not 6:30.
- Continuity: While Mary Sue is explaining sex to her mother, her hair changes between shots.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Various inconsistencies and plot holes (stopped clocks, phantom opposing basketball teams) with the real world are consistent with Pleasantville being a TV world, and hence consistent with the movie.
- Miscellaneous: When Bud pulls up in the fire truck to put out the tree fire, he pulls a charged hose from the back of the truck. Hoses in the back of an engine are not connected to the engine's pump, and water would not flow until the pump was engaged.
