Character mistake: Sam and Maurey were watching TV news coverage of Kennedy's assassination (11/22/63). When Petey got home (around 12:05 PM MST), he tried to change the channel, then said, "Mom, Maurey won't let me watch 'Rocky'." Laurabel/Mom said, "You know he watches 'Rocky' every afternoon." But school was let out early due to the assassination, so Petey would normally be in school at noon and therefore not be able to watch "Rocky" at that time in the afternoon. (00:21:30 - 00:23:17)

Sam Callahan: Will you explain to me about women?
Lydia Callahan: Women are right, men are wrong, and that's all you need to know.
Trivia: The day John F. Kennedy was assassinated (11/22/63), school was let out early. When Maurey and Sam got to her house, it was 12:05 on the wall clock. When Sam went home, it was 12:25 PM. This makes it appear as though they knew about the assassination before it happened (around 12:30 PM), but Dallas falls under Central Standard Time (CST) and the movie is set in Wyoming, which is Mountain Standard Time (MST) or one hour behind CST. That is, 12 PM in Wyoming would be 1 PM in Dallas, Texas.
