Mad About You picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: Depending on the episode, before Paul and Jamie moved in together, Paul either lived A) across the street from Jamie, alone (she trusted him because he had to go home to his dog at night, which would indicate he didn't have a roommate); B) in Kramer's apartment, with no mention of a roommate; or C) somewhere with Ira. Ira also states in one episode that Paul has never lived alone.

Correction: Self-correcting error. A) Many pet owners go home to their pets because they either care to be there for the animal's sake or for their own. A roomate may not be a sufficient substitution to the pet or to the owner. It isn't only about food and water for animal lovers. Besides, if Paul has a dog, he isn't 'alone'. B) No mention of a roomate doesn't mean no roomate, just no mention. C) If Ira says Paul never lived alone, he can mean a roomate or a pet was always there. As for the locations, we find Paul moved a few times prior to living with Jamie. Without specific overlapping of dates (which can also be excused by faulty human memory), there's no mistake.

Correction: There are two types of night vision goggles - passive and active. Passive night vision goggles work by intensifying whatever light there is - starlight, moonlight, whatever is available. A shadow will be visible on the viewscreen of any such goggles. It is likely they are using passive goggles as active goggles require a power source, and are consequently much bulkier.

Correction: He appears in color in the "real world" too, even though he's the product of a black and white film. Also, the characters in silent films can hear each other so we, being in the film's world at the time, can hear his scream.

Heart of Ice - S1-E3

Corrected entry: Mr. Freeze's cell at Arkham Asylum has been modified to accommodate his inability to survive outside of sub-zero temperatures, but his cell has a barred window which could easily allow warmer weather to interfere with the temperature regulation (the episode's opening scene states that Gotham is in the midst of the hottest August on record). (00:21:00)

Correction: A single small window even in an area of high heat would not be able to interfere that much in a sub-freezing room with a dedicated hyper-cooling system.
