Show generally

Corrected entry: Kate said Lyn could start her training at SophistiKate's Nail Bar on Friday, when she is off, because her assistant needs help. If her assistant was alone on Friday, surely its a bad idea to have a trainee start at the same time. If both workers were in, then one could train Lyn while the other sees to clients, but in the way Kate describes here, her assistant would be busier than before.

Dan Moat

Correction: Character choice to have someone start when only an assistant is in. Not a movie mistake.

The President's Coming! The President's Coming! (1) - S5-E25

Corrected entry: This episode is a series of flashbacks. The flashback of Blanche grabbing her towel from Dorothy when the roof leaks, Dorothy says, "I am in no mood to hear about the endless sexual escapades that have occurred up and down the Florida coastline, with only this towel between your flesh and the cold wet sand." Blanche replies with, "I brought my son Skippy home from the hospital in this towel." In the original episode, Blanche replies with, "It wasn't ALL up and down the Florida coastline."

Correction: In the original episode, Blanche states both, not just one.

Thief of Budapest - S1-E3

Corrected entry: In the scene where MacGyver is meeting his contact Grotsky in the park, Grotsky is reading a paper. Though the story is set in Budapest, the paper Grotsky is holding is Dutch: De Telegraaf. De Telegraaf has a very distinctive logo. As Grotsky folds the paper the letters "De T" from its logo can be seen. Plus a word from a head line "strijd". It seems as though they knew they had the wrong paper: Grotsky is trying his best to obscure as much of it from the camera as possible. (00:10:00)

Correction: Budapest is a huge city with lots of nationalities there for business or tourism. It is not unusual to find newspapers from foreign countries in a large International city. I can find newspapers from all over the world at a news stand in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Correction: SPOILER ALERT: This wasn't a flashback, it was a dream. Since it is Bruce Willis' dream, he can mention "Stairway to Heaven" in the dream, because the song exists in his real life.

A Game of Pool - S3-E20

Corrected entry: Twice during shots of the tournament in progress, we see the 8-ball going into a corner pocket - a mistake that should have ended the game. (00:13:05)

Jean G

Correction: They weren't playing 8-ball, where hitting the 8-ball in out of turn ends the game. Before the game started he was asked what pool game he wanted to play, 9-ball, 8-ball, Rotation? They decided to play rotation, where the 8-ball must go in after the 7-ball is made.

Correction: I live in Australia and it is very common here for people to run clubs/disco nights in rented halls/clubs. Therefore although the name of the club they are going to is "Out" the name on the hall may be completely different.
