Fargo (2014)
Character mistake: Deputy Olmstead says to Lorraine Lyon, "You think that you're rich 'cause you're better than me." Surely, the line should have been "You think that you're better than me 'cause you're rich."

Suggested correction: No, she actually does mean Lorraine thinks she is rich because she is better than her. And to her, anyone who is not rich is therefore less, or else they would be rich too. It's the same type of thinking but with a different approach as what you suggest. It's about privilege.
Interesting. I can see it either way. Thanks for the thought.

Young Sheldon (2017)
A Roulette Wheel and a Piano Playing Dog - S7-E2
Character mistake: Sheldon likes his pretzel and says "Ich bin ein Heidelberger." He makes the same mistake President Kennedy made when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner", which means "I am a jelly donut." The correct German is "Ich bin Berliner" or "Ich bin Heidelberger."

Columbo (1971)
Character mistake: After Columbo disturbs Dr. Kepple and his ball goes in the rough, Kepple says they are playing for rather high stakes. He picks up his ball, looks at it, and places it back on the ground. In a high stakes game, that would be cheating, and the other players would not have tolerated it.

Young Sheldon (2017)
Little Green Men and a Fella's Marriage Proposal - S6-E18
Character mistake: When Dr. Bell examines baby Constance, she has the stethoscope in her ears facing backwards. Also, when Sheldon and the professors are looking at the data from the telescope, Dr. Linkletter says "what about that" and Dr. Prakash says "no, that's within the standard deviation." That doesn't make sense.

Columbo (1971)
