Barbary Coast picture

Show generally

Revealing mistake: The waterfront set always features a blue, cloud-dotted sky, even when the streets are wet from supposed rain. And the clouds are static, never moving or changing, betraying the fact that they're part of a backdrop.

The Breakup - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: When Jeff Derrington arrives on horseback at his ranch, his wife and a baby carriage are in the yard. The carriage is covered by a white blanket. A close-up shows a baby boy in the carriage, even though Jeff never removed the blanket.

Godless picture

Show generally

Factual error: Two women come into town somewhere around San Luis Valley, Colorado with ring-necked Pheasants. The pheasants were brought into US a few times (East coast, CA) but really did not get established until late 1880s and in Colorado likely in the late 1890s (eastern and southwestern). The problem is it supposedly depicts the year 1880. They would more likely may have found some Gunnisons Sage-Grouse nearby or rabbits. (00:16:10)
