The Man From U.N.C.L.E. picture

The Bow-Wow Affair - S1-E20

Corrected entry: When they're being chased by the dogs, Illya pulls off Ursula Baldwin's shoes so she can climb the tree. He tosses the shoes into the pool below. But in the next shot, as Ursula begins to climb, her shoes are back on her feet - that is, until they both leap from the tree into the pool. Then, her shoes are off again, and already floating in the water. (00:42:15)

Jean G

Correction: After replaying the scene many times I am sorry to say that even if Kuryakin mentioned her removing shoes (and even grabbed her right leg in an apparent removal attempt) it is not seen that he throw her shoes into the pool, nor that she actually removed her shoes. So understandably she is seen climbing the tree and completing the scene with her shoes on.

Correction: Sam explained that she came back because she forgot her shopping list. She most likely left Tabitha in the car, intending to retrieve the list and then leave again.

Thunderbirds picture

Trapped in the Sky - S1-E1

Corrected entry: It is said Fireflash is cruising at 250,000 feet. But Earth's atmosphere only heightens to 400km. Their were clouds at the the cruising altitude. Clouds only occur around the Troposhpere and maybe in the Stratosphere.

Correction: 250,000 Feet is only 76.2 kilometres so still plenty of room in your 400km.

More Thunderbirds corrections

Correction: Not an error. The sand dunes were supposed to look like an artificial movie set, as Herman's job at the moment was as an actor in a film about the French Foreign Legion.

Gilligan's Island picture

Feed the Kitty - S2-E24

Corrected entry: They build a raft/cage for Leo and send him off (likely he would not survive the trip anyway) without any thought of attaching a note telling people where they are.

briggs

Correction: They didn't send the lion off deliberately, they caged him and the tide swept it away.

Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. picture

Sergeant of the Week - S1-E14

Corrected entry: When Sgt. Carter calls sick bay to check confirm that Gomer is to remain in bed, the nurse says that he has been examined by Lt. Ames. The doctor who examined Gomer was wearing Captain's bars.

JDSquared

Correction: The Marine Corps uses Navy doctors. His Navy rank is lieutenant thus the 2 bars.

Correction: Navy Lieutenants are the same rank as Marine Corps Captains. His uniform is correct.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: "Captain" Lee Crane's uniform insignia denotes he is a Commander. The insignia for Commander is the silver leaf cluster, which he wears. The insignia for Captain is an eagle. On those occasions when he wears his dress uniform, his shoulder boards have three gold bars, which is the rank of Commander. A Captain's shoulder boards have four gold bars.

DaddySteve72

Correction: While you are correct in your description of the insignia your premise is flawed. Captain, while a rank in the Navy, is also a title bestowed to the Commanding Officer of a Navy vessel regardless of rank. So calling a Commander "Captain" is correct if he is the C.O. of the ship or boat.
