Suggested correction: Season 1 starts in mid-1958 and goes into 1959, which would coincide with the introduction of pantyhose.
Other mistake: When Midge is doing her skit for the soldiers she is pretending to read articles off a magazine. Yet instead of flipping the magazine, she is swiping as if reading off a smartphone.

Suggested correction: "Swiping" is not specific to smartphones or computer tablets. People often do this to speed through books, magazines, or documents, usually by slightly moistening the tip of the index finger, rather than individually turning pages. Midge is pantomiming her act, so her action is naturally a bit exaggerated for effect.
Trivia: Jackie, the Gaslight manager, dies suddenly in Season 4. This was written into the plot due to the real-life death of Brian Tarantina, the actor who portrayed Jackie.
Archie [after Joel's celebratory speech to his staff]: Such a strange mixture of happiness and horror.
Mrs. Moscowitz: Oh, clearly you're not Jewish, dear.
