CSI: Crime Scene Investigation picture

Lady Heather's Box - S3-E15

Corrected entry: In the scene where Lindsay is being questioned she says that the car driver got out of the car, then Eddie (Lindsay's father and Catherine's Ex) fell out of the car and into the water. This is not possible. The passenger side door was closed and as the car was on an angle and wedged against the ground and unable to open. It is not possible that he fell upwards and out of the driver side door.

Scrappy

Correction: Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable - a case can rarely be tried on that alone. In this case, the testimony is even more unreliable, as it comes from a child who was in grave danger at the time and was easily confused. The CSIs would not take what she said as the exact truth, but rather a starting point in the absence of anything else.

Malcolm in the Middle picture

Long Drive - S4-E11

Corrected entry: Hal states that Malcolm was supposed to pick Dewey up at school, but the earlier episode "Humilithon" established that Dewey now walks home unsupervised. (Malcolm doesn't yet have a driver's license, so this can't be a matter of convenience.)

Correction: Actually, in the end of "Humilithon," when Hal and Lois finish community service they tell Dewey that he doesn't have to come home alone anymore, and Hal takes the house key from him.

Gilmore Girls picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: We know Lorelai ran away from home and moved into the potting shed at Independence Inn with baby Rory but reference after reference indicates that she didn't meet Luke until at least ten years later. In a town that size she would've known hometown boy Luke.

Correction: The Inn isn't in Star's Hollow.

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue picture

Trakeena's Revenge: Part 2 - S1-E30

Corrected entry: Leo's Jet Jammer was destroyed in "The Journey's end part 2" when it crashed on Mirinoi's moon, and the other 4 Jet Jammers were destroyed in "The Journey's End Part 3" as they were parked on the Terra-venture city dome when it blew up.

Correction: This happens a year later. They could have been rebuilt.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force picture

Super Computer - S3-E4

Corrected entry: When the doorbell rings for Shake's pizza, he hops away in the chair to answer the door because he is still duct-taped to it. In the next scene he is out of the chair and opening the door for Oog.

Conine

Correction: So he got himself unstuck from the chair between "scenes".

Jackie Chan Adventures picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: It is shown that Demon sorcerers can't touch good magic with feeling extreme pain. In the episode when Jackie fights with the Earth Demon, Jackie is wearing magic armour that was made with good magic, yet somehow all throughout the fight the Earth Demon can hold, grab, or hit Jackie without experiencing any negative effect.

Correction: Only Demon Sorcerers are harmed by touching good magic, not Demons themselves.

Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) picture

O Happy Isle - S2-E3

Corrected entry: Whilst on the island, Jeff cannot drink because he is on antibiotics to treat a dental abscess. It is possible to get different antibiotics that you CAN drink with - why wasn't he prescribed them instead?

Andy Benham Premium member

Correction: Perhaps he didn't ask for type that allow you to drink, or maybe he is allergic to certain types, either way, it's hardly a mistake to be taking drugs that you cannot drink with.

X-Men: Evolution picture

Grim Reminder - S1-E11

Corrected entry: When Nightcrawler wears his image inducer, his hands are stuck in a peculiar position due to the fact that his natural form only has three fingers per hand. The image inducer hands have the index and middle fingers always together, and the ring and little fingers always together, giving that same look of three fingers. Yet continually throughout the series, image inducer Kurt will hold up his hands and all his fingers will be spread out. In some instances he even crosses his index and middle fingers. Most notable in the end of 'Grim Reminder', where he spreads out his hands and asks for privacy right at the end.

Correction: Xavier may have programmed the image inducer to occassionally change the way his fingers are grouped, so that people who pay undue attention don't ask why he always keeps his fingers together.

Lock, Stock... picture

...And Spaghetti Sauce - S1-E4

Corrected entry: When the guys tape themselves as dead to hide Heinrich's death, they pop out the tape and send the Dutchmen to deliver it to Deep Throat. The camera uses micro cassettes, but the tape they leave at Deep Throat's shop is VHS, without copying from one to the other.

DavidRTurner

Correction: There are (or used to be) VHS adaptors, which you insert a mini cassette into, which allows a person with a VHS player to view tapes without copying. They look like regular VHS tapes when the mini cassette is installed.

rswarrior

More Lock, Stock... corrections

Correction: They are convinced that he's an alien, and that this man is out to get him, but they are still his friends and don't want to see him locked up, or hurt. Plus, they may be trying to stay on the good side of the alien if indeed that species is stronger.

Coconut

More Even Stevens corrections

Correction: It is stated later in the series that although they can have the barcodes removed they always come back.

Black Books picture

Fever - S2-E2

Corrected entry: Manny gets crazy when the temperature hits 88, but he never goes crazy even when wearing the heavy jacket and being near the oven, which coupled with the high temperature outside would have made him hit 88 and go crazy much earlier than when the outside temperature hits 88.

luke f

Correction: That's a joke. It's exaggerated for humour and we are supposed to assume that Manny realises what Bernard has done, just in time. Remember that Black Books is a strange comedy not a medical drama.

Yes, Dear picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode where they are on "a baby story" Kim ends up having a girl that she names Emily. Yet in the whole series, Greg and Kim have a boy named Sam.

Aymie520

Correction: Greg and kim have two children. Sam is three years older than Emily. Emily is an infant and therefore rarely seen but only referred to in later episodes.

Boston Public picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: In episode "Chapter Sixty-One" Ronnie's at the bar together with her new admirer. He orders them beers. Then Zack arrives and Ronnie leaves with him, and says thank you for the beer. She never actually got one.

Correction: No, but the beers would still arrive, and her date would have to pay for them. Ronnie is only being polite, thanking him for what he was buying for her, even if she did not have time to drink it.

Twotall

Big Kids picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: When Simon is on the stairs talking on the phone, his parents tell him to take his feet off the wall. He takes them off a few times and each time, the wall shakes a lot.

Correction: Well then it's a very flimsy unstable wall in the house that needs repairing.
