The Return - S6-E20
Factual error: Right before the scene with John-Boy and Daisy at the restaurant, there's a shot of Times Square, and two of the marquees advertise the 1946 movie "The Jolson Story," and the 1946 movie "The Best Years of Our Lives," and also reads "Picture of the Year" which it won at the 1947 Academy Awards, but this episode takes place in 1940. (00:05:30)

The Return - S6-E20
Factual error: The year is 1940, and in the opening shot (as the name Richard Thomas appears on the screen) we have a view of Lower Manhattan as seen from the East River below the Brooklyn Bridge, but the problem is some of the buildings we see did not exist in 1940, such as One Chase Manhattan Plaza, which did not begin construction until 1957.

Visible crew/equipment: With the family sitting around the table Olivia says grace, and just as she gets to the end of her prayer, the T-mark on the wood floor behind Erin is visible.

14th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: During the courtroom hostage scenes, when Raoul Delgado and Erin are on the phone with Danny there are some closeups of the gun Delgado is holding. After Delgado hangs up on Danny, when he slams the gun into Jack's temple and orders Erin to go with him, in these closeups the gun is noticeably different. (00:30:55)
14th Sep 2019
Continuity mistake: After Danny shoots Delgado, he kneels down and holds Erin at her right side with his back facing the car (driver's door is open), but in the next shot Danny is kneeling at Erin's left side with his front now facing the car, as seen in the live feed Frank is watching on the monitor. The live feed is not backwards, note the open driver's door, etc. (00:34:35)
