The Mark Miner Story - S5-E8

Factual error: At an 1868 church service, Mark sings "How Great Thou Art." While the tune of this hymn is 19th Century, the English lyrics he's singing weren't composed until the 1920s.

The Dawson Marker - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Cash joins Sarah in the carriage, she's holding her suitcase and a kerchief in her lap. She removes the cloth and lets him take the bag. But when the shot cuts to a wider angle, she does this again and he takes the bag from her a second time. (00:34:00)

Barbary Coast (1975)

The Dawson Marker - S1-E14

Factual error: Cable refers throughout the episode to "The Civil War." This term was not in use until well after the era in which the series is set. It was known at the time as "The War Between the States," or, in the South, "The War of Northern Aggression."

Barbary Coast (1975)

Show generally

Revealing mistake: The waterfront set always features a blue, cloud-dotted sky, even when the streets are wet from supposed rain. And the clouds are static, never moving or changing, betraying the fact that they're part of a backdrop.

Continuity mistake: Conchita slaps Cash across the left cheek, which he's rubbing as he returns to his office. In the next shot, as he comes through the door, he's rubbing his right cheek instead.

You Have Just Been Murdered - S5-E21

Continuity mistake: The money boxes Steed is stacking at the end keep changing positions between shots. And though they're supposed to be full of half-penny coins, the ease with which he lifts and carries them makes it obvious that they're empty. (00:49:00)
