Factual error: Abe hilariously exercises in a ridiculous suit while listening to Robert Preston's "Chicken Fat" recording. But Preston (who starred in The Music Man) didn't release this until 1962, at the behest of President Kennedy, who was big on physical fitness.

Suggested correction: It's true that this song was not recorded and released until 1962, which is a little after when this scene takes place. However, Abe is not actually "listening" to it (or any other music) while he is exercising on the lake dock. The song is used as part of the series soundtrack and creates a desired mood for the scene. As the storyline is now in the early 1960s, it is appropriate to the era, and is only background music.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)
Corrected entry: When Midge is doing her skit for the soldiers she is pretending to read articles off a magazine. Yet instead of flipping the magazine, she is swiping as if reading off a smartphone.
Correction: "Swiping" is not specific to smartphones or computer tablets. People often do this to speed through books, magazines, or documents, often by slightly moistening the index fingertip, rather than individually turning pages. Midge is pantomiming this her act, so her action is naturally a bit exaggerated for effect.

Factual error: Midge talks about a 2 for 1 pantyhose sale but pantyhose weren't introduced until 1959.
