Factual error: Cher complains that Astroturf is going to ruin baseball. Mermaids is set in 1963 when Astroturf was still being developed under the name Chemigrass. It wasn't christened Astroturf until it made its world debut on the floor of the Houston Astrodome in 1966.

Charlotte Flax: So Joe, tell me about the nuns in the convent. Do they wear underwear in the shower?
