Goodbye Norma Jean - April 4, 1960 - S5-E18

Factual error: Sam leaps into Marilyn Monroe's chauffeur in April, 1960. But the car he's driving her around in is a 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible. The 1960 had prominent tail fins, the redesigned '61 did not, so the difference is noticeable. This is a model Marilyn could not have purchased until, at the earliest, September of 1960. (00:03:00)

Show generally

Factual error: "Robin & the Sorcerer Part 1": During the archery tournament, several close-ups reveal that the arrows have 20th Century stainless steel tips on them. You can see the machine-tool marks on the shiny metal. (00:15:20)

Nowhere to Run - August 10, 1968 - S5-E4

Factual error: Twice in this episode, characters refer to the Vietnam war being over. But the setting is 1968. The Vietnam war didn't end until 1975. (00:34:20)

Song of the Younger World - S2-E20

Factual error: It's the 1800s, but Amy's skirt has a 20th Century zipper running down the back. (00:05:15)

Jean G

Song of the Younger World - S2-E20

Factual error: The 19th Century reformatory has modern electric light bulbs hanging from the corridor ceilings. (00:21:10)

Jean G

Factual error: Many of the panoramic scenes in this film capture breathtaking views of mountain ranges completely covered with snow - a geographical feature not to be found in the Holy Land. It is found on occasion, though, in Arizona, where these sequences were actually shot. Other scenes show desert bluffs, mesas and arches that are also not found in the Middle East: they're the distinctive formations of the Arches National Park in Utah, USA.

The Sun Never Sets - S1-E36

Factual error: The supposedly-British rescue ship has distinctly American markings on its sides. (00:19:40)

The Ninety-Second War (1) - S4-E16

Factual error: An injured McGarrett is trapped in an overturned car, which emergency workers flip over before cutting him free. No rescue crew would ever do this: such violent movement could kill the patient. It's crucial that crash victims be extricated without causing further trauma: McGarrett would be freed leaving the wreck exactly where it was - upside down. (00:07:25)

Lunar Secret - S1-E27

Factual error: When McCauley and Rennish find the body of a previous moon explorer, they play back a message he left on a portable tape recorder. But they shouldn't be able to hear this: there's no atmosphere on the moon to carry the sound waves. Even if there were, their pressurized, self-contained spacesuits would still prevent them from hearing the tape. (00:19:30)

Jean G

Factual error: At the drive-in movie theater, Cody orders his wife to turn off the speaker. She twists the knob in the wrong direction (to the right, which would have increased the volume instead), but somehow the sound turns off anyway. (00:29:00)

The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father - S5-E13

Factual error: Bester lifts the blanket covering the bloody corpse of Harris' roommate. The man hasn't been dead long enough for the blood to dry, so there should be blood-transfer on the underside of the blanket - but there's not a spot on it.

Is There Another Civilization? - S1-E24

Factual error: The huge piece of retrieved space debris breaks loose in the hold and the astronauts struggle to lift and re-secure it. Only they shouldn't have had to. They're in space with no gravity generator, wearing magnetic boots to hold themselves to the deck. The debris would be weightless, too. (00:20:00)

With This Ring, I Thee Kill! - S1-E7

Factual error: When the girl's injured father dies after speaking to Rhodes, the heart monitor flatlines. The male nurse calmly takes the man's pulse, shakes his head and then just leaves the room - without calling a code blue or making any effort to revive the patient. In 1872, maybe. In 1972, no way.

Jean G

With This Ring, I Thee Kill! - S1-E7

Factual error: Rhodes views the silent movie and the film breaks, leaving the last frame frozen on the screen. Wouldn't happen. When 16mm film broke in 1970s projectors, any portion that jammed in the mechanism was exposed to intense heat from the projection lamp, and would burn. (00:35:30)

Jean G

Water's Edge - S3-E3

Factual error: Pete Taylor's corpse is a bare skeleton after just two years in the sea-shack's attic, though it shouldn't be. There should at least be traces of hair and clothing surrounding the bones. (00:40:00)

Jean G

House - with Ghost - S2-E26

Factual error: Ellis trots up the stairs with his wife's dinner, shaking and bouncing the tray all the way. But when he arrives, the liquid in the tray's very full glass of milk hasn't spilled a single drop. (00:14:30)

Jean G

The Gentleman Caller - S2-E24

Factual error: After emptying the safe, Gerald shoots the night watchman through a glass door. But somehow, the glass never breaks. (00:02:05)

Jean G

The Foggiest Notion (2) - S3-E12

Factual error: The British curator from whom Lord Ffogg steals a collection of artifacts needs to go back to school (or someone in Batman's prop dept. does). While most of the signs are correctly spelled and punctuated ("Duchess of Desborough's Diamonds," "Her Majesty's Priceless Snuffboxes," etc.), the one marked "Lady Easterlands Jeweled Easter Eggs" is missing its requisite possessive apostrophe. (The closed captioner noticed, though, and corrected the mistake there). (00:11:15)

Jean G

How to Hatch a Dinosaur (2) - S3-E9

Factual error: Gotham City's museum should brush up on its paleontology. Their sign claims the neosaurus egg is 40 million years old. A) Neosaurus lived in the early Permian period, 290 million years ago. And B) All dinosaurs were rendered extinct 65 million years ago, most likely by an asteroid strike. So 40 million years ago, there were no dinosaurs on Earth. (00:06:50)

Jean G

Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy - S5-E15

Factual error: The FBI agent runs a computer check and prints out a list of all the pet stores in San Francisco selling ferrets. But he shouldn't have been able to generate any list at all. Pet ferrets are illegal in the state of California, and are not sold in pet stores there. (00:15:00)
