Mad Men (2007) - 2 mistakes in all of series 1
starring Christina Hendricks, Elisabeth Moss, January Jones, Jon Hamm, Vincent Kartheiser (add more)
Factual error: In S1E03, "Marriage of Figaro", Don brings home Sally a new dog for her birthday at the end of the episode. Clearly an oversight considering the girth of the wide muzzle and "blockier" forehead of the dog. This presumably leads the informed viewer to surmise that the dog is a British Golden Retriever, a far fetched tale considering the lack of communication between European and American dog breeders during the cold war era. Taking this assumption one step further, the cream colour of the coat is also an indication of a later time period, as the cream colour was only introduced in the past twenty (20) years for British sub-genus.
Factual error: Season 1, Episode 4: New Amsterdam. At various stages of the discussion between Peter Campbell and his wife regarding the purchase of their coop apartment, they discuss down payments and mortgages. Although it may be possible to finance a coop today, in 1960 the buyer would have been expected to pay the total amount up front. This was still the case as recently as 1999, when I sold my parents' apartment after their death.
