The L Word (2004) - 5 mistakes in entire show

Visible crew/equipment: Season 1, episode 11 "Looking Back": In the scene where Dana comes back from spending the night with her manager, Alice pushes Jenny and rund and dives in bed. You can see a good shot of a camera man in the mirror.

Factual error: The show takes place in L.A, and in this episode (SPOILER ALERT) Tim and Jenny rush off to hastily and ill-advisedly get married. Los Angeles is three-four hours away from Vegas, where most quickie weddings are done, but a road sign shows them heading to Lake Tahoe/Reno, which is another four hours further away than that. It's just not plausible that they would skip Vegas, where everyone in Los Angeles goes for this purpose, to drive hours further along when they're in such a hurry. It does, however, make sense if you're either ignorant of California/Nevada geography, or if your show is filmed in woodsy British Columbia, where no location can be easily found that looks like the approach to Vegas. Also, the road sign reads, "Tahoe" - an obvious fake. Actual road signs read "Lake Tahoe" and they always show how many miles away it is.

Deliberate "mistake": Unavoidable, but still noteworthy: At the beginning of season 2, all the story lines pick up where they left of from at the end of season one; indicating that not much time has elapsed. In spite of this, most of the cast have different haircuts, Dana has grown out her fringe, and Tina suddenly has a baby bump.

Other: Given that Alice only stole some of Dana's ashes to scatter at the camp ground, the amount of ashes seen poured into the waterfall by all of the characters is totally unrealistic; much more, in fact, than what would equate to an entire cremated corpse.

Factual error: (Note: there's no category for Season 1 yet). In the show where (SPOILERS.) Tim rashly and suddenly rushes Jenny off to get married, a sign shows them driving to "Tahoe". 1) Actual road signs in that region read, "Lake Tahoe", not "Tahoe". 2) There are no "quickie" marriages in Lake Tahoe, but there are quickie marriages another 50 miles on in Reno. 3) They live in Los Angeles, and Las Vegas is much, much closer than Reno/Tahoe (Vegas is a 4-hour drive; Reno is 8 hours.) It's not a character mistake, since they are obviously in a huge hurry to get married, and it's nonsensical even for them to choose to drive 4 hours longer, and a completely different route altogether, when they're in such a rush. It might make sense, however, if you're filming in Vancouver and you don't have any nearby landscapes that look like the desert near Vegas, but you have forest that might pass for the area near Reno/Tahoe.
