Trivia: This was John Candy's last film he made. He unfortunately passed away in his sleep before filming wrapped up. Re-writes and stand-ins were used to finish the film. Candy had finished filming "Canadian Bacon", but "Wagons East" was released 13 months before "Canadian Bacon."

Sliders (1995)
Trivia: After the assassination attempt, Wade remarks "of course it was a man, when did you ever hear of a female assassin?" While she was being snarky, as a point of trivia, at the time (1995) of the last 3 presidential assassination attempts, 2 were by women. In 1975, Sara Jane Moore shot at President Gerald Ford while he was in San Fransisco (which incidentally is where the show was set). "Squeaky" Fromme also attempted to assassinate President Ford in 1975, but her gun never fired.

The Good, The Bad, And The Wealthy - S2-E4
Other mistake: When Rembrandt is playing poker for the first time, the guy across from him says he'll call (and then he raises). So Rembrandt folds (even though he had a full house) because that's what Priscilla told him to do. But Rembrandt was supposed to just ante and fold until Cliff got there. But because the guy called, that means Rembrandt made the first bet. He shouldn't have bet at all though.

Canadian Bacon (1995)
Trivia: This was John Candy's last film released after his death. Candy died during filming of "Wagons East" but had already finished filming "Canadian Bacon." "Canadian Bacon" sat on the shelf for two years while Michael Moore struggled to get the film distributed once production wrapped up.

Sliders (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Serena and Rembrandt go sit on the couch, she hadn't grabbed the champagne glass yet, only reaching for it. But in the next shot it's already up to her to lips.

Sliders (1995)
Continuity mistake: At the bar when the 3 are watching the game, Max has his hand up against his mouth as he's thinking. When Wade asks what he thinks, the shot changes and his hand is down.

Eureka (2006)
A New World - S4-E2
Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, when Jack comes home to find Tess there, Tess says "I thought you'd never get here" and then asks if he wants a drink and goes to the kitchen. In the beginning of this episode (which is suppose to be the same scene) she says "I thought you'd never get home" and Jack replies "you're not in Australia" and then Tess asks S.A.R.A.H. to make him lunch.

Capricorn One (1977)
Factual error: When Caulfield is looking at the address on the woman's magazine (when he's at Elliot's apartment) the Houston zip code is listed as 80144. Houston zip codes start with "77."

Eureka (2006)
Other mistake: When Zane and Andy get on the elevator, Jo is there to zap Andy. We see Andy start to fall backwards, and then we hear a thud as if he fell to the floor. When the shot changes, he's propped up against the wall. But he was standing too far away from the wall to land against the wall in that position.

Kevin Can Wait (2016)
A Band Done - S2-E24
Trivia: The 4th band member, Ronnie, is played by Michael DelGuidice. DelGuidice wrote the "Kevin Can Wait" theme song, "No Ordinary Guy" for the show. DelGuidice, who was born in Long Island, also started a Billy Joel cover band before joining Joel's actual band. In the show, Kevin and other characters often talk about their love for Billy Joel.

Kevin Can Wait (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Kevin is preparing potatoes, there's only one potato on the cutting board. After Vanessa walks in, there's now two potatoes on the board, even though Kevin was at the sink. There's fewer potatoes on the counter as well and they're not stacked.

Kevin Can Wait (2016)
Question: Kevin is wearing a T-shirt that says "Long Island" with some sort of mascot on it. At first I thought it was Dumbo with the big ears, but it looks like a mouse with a hat on (I'm assuming those are whiskers and not 6 legs of an insect.) What is this animal suppose to be? A character or mascot from some show, team, restaurant, etc? Or just a silly shirt with a random silly animal? Has anyone seen it sold anywhere?

Sting of Queens: Part Two - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: When Donna is talking to Larry, he has a donut in his hand. After he takes a bite, it's in two pieces. But then the donut is back in one piece. It also goes from mostly eaten to very little eaten.

Chore Weasel - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Donna and Kendra are questioning Chale, and he has the water bottle, sometimes the lid is on and sometimes it's off without him doing anything.

Last Man Standing (2011)
Character mistake: When Ryan is recreating the chess game he and Mandy played, he has the chessboard setup incorrectly. He has the dark square on the lower right corner when it should be the white square. He was a junior grand master and would know better, especially since he had the board set up correctly when they were playing.

Capricorn One (1977)
Other mistake: Clay Lacy is listed as Lear Jet Pilot twice in the credits. The first time it's listed with the Property Master/2nd Prop Man/Transportation Coordinator. Then later it's listed with Production Auditor/Bookkeeper/Lead Man.

Eureka (2006)
Trivia: In the final scene, as Jack and Zoe are heading out of Eureka, they pass their younger selves heading into Eureka. This scene is from the pilot episode where Zoe sees another version of her and her dad. However, in the pilot episode, the other (older) Jack and Zoe are in Jack's original car, not his Jeep, and other Zoe waves at them. I would call this a mistake, but I'm listing it as trivia because I know someone would say "after they came back from 1947, things changed so this changed too."

Eureka (2006)
Continuity mistake: Before the launch when the countdown timer speeds up, the timer shows 21:09 and counts down to 21:00 then goes up to 21:59 instead of 20:59. Later the timer is at 18:08 and in the next shot of the timer it's at 18:18.

This One Time at Space Camp... - S4-E18
Trivia: At the 1990 Space Camp, the Awesome Possums say the "way of thermal propulsion" is "Thrust first! Thrust hard! No mercy!" This is play on the 1984 film, "Karate Kid" where Cobra Kai students say the "way of the fist" is "Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy!"
