Corrected entry: Right after Bemis's glasses break, he leans down to pick them up. Instead, he first opens the book. When he does that, you can see that the pages are completely blank and that there is absolutely nothing printed on them.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
Corrected entry: When Maj. Wilson tells Lt. Decker that the year is 1959 instead of 1917, Decker mouths the words "fifty nine." However, no sound is heard.
Correction: It's stretching to call this an error - people often mouth words to themselves without vocalizing. The fact that this reviewer can tell what Decker is saying, simply by reading his lips, attests to the fact that The Silence was intentional.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
Corrected entry: Throughout whole episode, Nan's car doesn't have rear-view mirror. But in the very last scene, when she needs to see Hitch-Hiker in back seat, she uses rear-view mirror.
Correction: Rather than using a rear-view mirror, she pulls down the visor and sees him in a mirror attached to its top side.

Mr. Denton on Doomsday - S1-E3
Corrected entry: TV antennas can be spotted in the distance in several shots. They didn't exist at the time of the Wild West.
Correction: There are no TV antennas to be seen in any shot. While there may be metal structures in some background shots, none resemble TV antennas.
Correction: They're not TV antennas; they're towers for high-voltage electric lines. Definitely an error showing the whole thing takes place on a backlot set.

Corrected entry: Lanser's cap says that he is Capitan Leutenant of Kriegsmarine. In German Captain is spelled Kapitan.
Correction: The cap correctly reads Kapitan with K.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
Corrected entry: This episode holds the absolute record in TZ for having the most actors who also appeared in other episodes. Barney Philips (Gunther) appeared in "Miniature," "A Thing About Machines" and most notably as a Venusian diner counterman in "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" and is one of only two actors who appeared in four episodes (the other being Burgess Meredith). Dick York (Riker) had a memorable role in "Penny For Your Thoughts," while Warren Oates (Jeep Driver) appeared in "The 7th is Made Up of Phantoms." Despite being the main star in this episode, William Reynolds (Fitzgerald) never appeared in any other TZ episode.
Correction: 1. Regarding the supposed record, "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up? " has five actors who appeared in other episodes: John Hoyt, Barney Phillips, Bill Erwin, Morgan Jones, Bill Kendis. Even that might not be the record, but I don't have time to go through the whole series right now. 2. Jack Klugman and John Anderson appeared in four episodes each, one of them together ("A Passage for Trumpet"). Vaughn Taylor appeared in five. These are all prominent appearances; Jay Overholts was credited for six smaller roles.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
Corrected entry: If you look carefully,when Fitzgerald and Riker are talking in hospital hallway right after their comrade has died, you can see it is the same stage, with some differences, which was used for Barbara Jean Trenton's house in the episode "Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine." Note staircase and garden door.
Correction: This trivia, not a mistake. Sets and locations are resused all the time in films - the "Hill Valley" set in the Back To The Future films appears in dozens of other films, notably Gremlins.
