The Actress - S1-E16
Corrected entry: Johnboy tells Alvira he's 17, when in The Hunt and The Sinner he'd turned 18.
Corrected entry: Prof. "Goat" belittles Jonboy in front of the other two for wrestling with the Sophmores when it was crystal clear who started the kerfuffle.
Correction: The kerfuffle on the bridge is between sophomores and freshmen, at Boatwright University. Professor Ghote, the Chairman of the English Dept, notices Walton and says, "Walton, it occurs to me that I'd like a word with you." Next, in front of the 2 freshmen friends of Walton, Ghote wryly tells John-Boy, "Don't you think you've caused enough damage for your first day? Why don't you go home now?" Then John-Boy and his 2 freshmen friends all walk off, happily smiling. Professor Ghote didn't behave unprofessionally, and he did not embarrass, belittle, or bully John-Boy. At this point in the day, John-Boy has racked up a bit of "damage" with Ghote, personally. First, he parked in a faculty spot; second, he bumped into Ghote causing the Professor to drop and scatter his papers which had been alphabetized; third, he was asked to bring the billy goat to an office which belonged to Professor William Ghote. This is not a "character mistake" or any other type of mistake.
John-Boy had already apologized to Ghote about the parking incident and Ghote chastised both the Sophs and the Frosh for the goat prank. But with the bridge kerfuffle, Ghote is an adult professional who should have known the difference regarding the antagonism, and chose to react otherwise by embarrassing John-Boy instead of applying damage control with the Soph bullies, which was both unethical and undoing. Something even Ms. Hunter would shut down appropriately.
Corrected entry: When Grandma / Esther takes Jon-boy aside to ask him about his grandfather's whereabouts, she says "Zeb" instead 'your Grandpa'.
Correction: That's not a mistake, character or otherwise. She simply used her husband's name. She even says Zeb several times through the episode. My own Grandparents and parents have switched between using their spouses' names or saying "your ___" depending on the situation.
Correction: While the kids are entertaining themselves with hand shadow puppets, Esther pulls John, not John-Boy, aside and asks, "Isn't Zeb with you?" In fact, twice she says "Zeb" to John, about his own father. And later while Zeb is sitting on Ike's pool table, Zeb says, "Esther" when he's talking to John-Boy. Zeb does this again with John-Boy when he learns Esther's going to the dance. This type of thing occurs throughout the series; it's normal.
Corrected entry: When the plane that Jim-Bob is flying in lands, an oil tanker is driving down the highway in the background.
Correction: How is this a mistake? Oil has been delivered by tanker trucks since the 1920s. If it is the wrong style for the time period, specify that as the mistake.
Correction: In S1xE5 "The Hunt" John-Boy's age is not mentioned at all in this episode. In S1xE8 "The Sinner" John-Boy's age is mentioned twice as being 17 years old; first, while he's with Zeb in the vehicle, then later when he speaks to Matthew Fordwick.
