King of the Hill (1997)

Yankee Hankee - S5-E10

Character mistake: Hank seems surprised to learn a lot of the Alamo's defenders weren't from Texas. Given that kids study this in American history, especially Davy Crockett's role in the historic event, it seems unlikely he'd be ignorant about this.

King of the Hill (1997)

Uh-Oh Canada - S13-E18

Character mistake: Hank talks about watching the Broncos vs the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII. This is incorrect. They played in Super Bowl XII. Super Bowl XIII was the Cowboys vs the Steelers.

Monk (2002)

Show generally

Character mistake: It seems throughout the whole series at crime scenes Monk, Randy, and Stottlemeyer handle evidence bare handed. Surely, they should be wearing gloves so as not to contaminate the evidence.

Bruised (2021)

Character mistake: During the opening fight Jackie lands a punch on her opponent just after the round ends. The referee should've warned her about this as it's illegal in MMA to do this, and he didn't.

Seinfeld (1990)

The Library - S3-E5

Character mistake: When Marion mentions Mr Bookman she says he'd been on the job for 25 years. Yet later on he tells Jerry he's been on the job since 1971, which in 1991 makes it 20 years.

I Love Lucy (1951)

Lucy Writes a Novel - S3-E23

Character mistake: When Fred, Ethel, and Ricky confront Lucy on what she wrote about them in her novel Ricky states "I'm so hammy I should go lie down between two slices of rye bread." This is incorrect. Lucy wrote "He turned into such a big ham you could stuff him with cloves."

Suggested correction: Archimedes was trying to be helpful when he pointed out the sword so Merlin could take it to the tournament. But after it became a big issue with the rays from heaven and the legend, Archimedes thought he might get in trouble so tried to act innocent by fibbing. It was deliberate and in character, not a character mistake.

You mean Arthur. Merlin was in Bermuda.

Character mistake: Given Billy still remembered and recognized him it seems strange Kate doesn't when she mistakes Daffy for Gizmo.

Suggested correction: Billy spent significantly more time bonding with Gizmo in the first movie - days and days. By contrast Kate had very little actual time with him.

Character mistake: It's said in the movie a vice presidential candidate never gave a concession speech. Geraldine Ferraro did this in 1984.
