Trivia: Many people think Crispin Glover reprised his role as George McFly for part II, but it's a different actor who had facial prosthetics applied to look like Glover. These prosthetics were made from actual molds of Glover's face left over from part I. Glover never authorized his likeness to be used and sued. The Screen Actors Guild now has laws against "unauthorized mimicking" of other actors as a result of the lawsuit. Crispin Glover is listed in the credit for part II only as "archive footage"

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the family is on the plane taking their seats, the wife goes to sit with her husband and sets her purse and clothing onto the seat in front of them, however you see the clothes slip off the seat and only the purse remains. In the next shot of the seat in front, the clothes are on the seat on top of the purse, without any character picking them up.

Show generally

Question: My understanding is Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, Howard, and even Amy and Kripke work for a university; but none of them seem to be teachers. And if they are, they never have office hours, or are seen grading homework, and Sheldon seems inept at teaching. Do universities really hire that many people who simply do research with no actual work requirements? Or what's going on? (I understand not filming boring office hours or grading, etc. But they never even allude to it, their work never interferes with random daily events, and I imagine college teachers/professors would stay extremely more busy.

The Herb Garden Germination - S4-E20

Question: In the beginning, Sheldon and Amy are attending a reading (or lecture) of Brian Greene. It seems Sheldon is truly mocking, although at the end he says he's kidding. Do theoretical physicists consider Greene to be a hack, or is he respected in the field of physics? Are Sheldon and Amy truly laughing at him?

Continuity mistake: During the vending machine scene, besides the fact that he's hiding in slot D8, many of the slots are mislabeled. However, he is 2 positions in, so it would require $.50 to get him out, not $.25. And the slot on his right goes from having candy in the back, to having a different candy up front, then to being empty.
