Columbo (1971)

Plot hole: Collier's relationship with Nadia Donner is wildly improper, and her husband knows about it. It seems unlikely that nothing was done about it.

Plot hole: Petroni has the engines at full power to move the plane out of the rut. Once the plane is free, he never pulls the power back. With that power, the plane would accelerate down the runway until it took off or hit something.

A Walton Wedding (1995)

Plot hole: Why didn't John declare his conflict of interest to the Board of County Supervisors as soon as Ben told him about the lumber contract he had signed?

High Potential (2024)

Partners - S1-E12

Plot hole: The poison is in the dog collar. Anson gets the poison from touching the collar. Why didn't the dog get any poison from the collar?

Suggested correction: The poison cannot penetrate the skin as dogs don't have sweat glands on their bodies (except on the paws).

Columbo (1971)

Short Fuse - S1-E7

Plot hole: We are told several times that the road to the mountain house is very narrow and difficult to negotiate. How did the very large crane get there so quickly to lift the bodies after the crash?

True Lies (2023)

Independent Dependents - S1-E7

Plot hole: When Helen goes into the air ducts, she simply removes the grates. They would not be loose like that, they would be firmly attached. When the team enters the basement they go through an ordinary door by picking an ordinary lock. A very high security installation like Axe Industries would not have such an insecure entry, even into the basement.

Columbo (1971)

Butterfly in Shades of Grey - S12-E2

Plot hole: Columbo says that all the doors and windows at the murder scene were found to be locked. But Fielding Chase left the house through a door with a dead-bolt lock, wiping the doorknob and not locking the door.

Young Sheldon (2017)

Freshman Orientation and the Inventor of the Zipper - S4-E6

Plot hole: Memaw gets a call from Dr. Sturgis saying that he has moved to Waxahatchie and would she please call him back. He does not say the new phone number, and this was well before cell phones were in widespread use by the general public, so it could only be a land line. Memaw calls him back, although she could not know the number.

Suggested correction: Just watched the clip. Sturgis calls Mary, leaves a message. She calls him back; I'd guess his local number. He says "I've taken a job there", which is what you say when you're not at the place yet (otherwise you'd say here). Says he won't be there when Sheldon starts college.

Suggested correction: Memaw could have caller ID, or she could have called information.

Caller ID was first available in December 1988, and it's unlikely that Memaw would have it that early. The story takes place before that time. It is possible that she called information, but when did she do it?
