That '70s Show (1998)

3 corrected entries in season 3

Correction: Although "O Canada" was not adopted as the Canadian National Anthem until June 27, 1980, the words are in keeping with the history of the time. The Weir version had the line "Stand and guard, O Canada" until it was recommended by a Special Joint Committed in March 1967 that the line be changed to "From far and wide, O Canada." The change was adopted in 1967 and it took Canada several years to work out the copyright issues. However, the line was common to the song as of the mid 70s and would probably have been the only version known by teenagers from Wisconsin.

Jackie Bags Hyde - S3-E8

Corrected entry: After the parade, Red shows up in his Navy uniform. He has several medals on the shirt (three, I believe). The only problem is that one of them is an Army Commendation Medal. Red was in the Navy. While different branches of services can recommend medals for other branches, had the Army recommended Red for a medal, the Navy would have given him a Navy Commendation Medal, not the Army equivalent. The Army medal has the several small stripes in the center (as the one Red is wearing does). The Navy medal has no pinstripes only the two wide ones.

Correction: Red could have served jointly with an Army unit and earned an ARCOM.

Canadian Road Trip - S3-E23

Corrected entry: While at the mountie station, at one point Kelso is standing in front of a map of Canada, with Nunavit drawn on it. Nunavit was created in 1999 by splitting Northwest Territories in half, and would not have been shown on a map in the '70s.

Correction: Nunavit was drawn on it, but unless it actually says Nunavit on the map it's not wrong, because on older maps they have always denoted the boundary between both the Northwest Territories.

Nunavut borders were set in 1993, and territory was separated in 1999. Those borders didn't exist in any form before that.

The Career Day - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Kitty comes downstairs to give the gang cookies, she tells Eric that she picked out an outfit for him to wear on career day. He then turns and mouths the words "Help me." In the next shot you can see Jackie sitting on Kelso's lap when in the previous episode, she broke up with him. In the next shot she is standing behind him. (00:01:00)

Eric's Burger Job - S1-E5

Trivia: In the fifth episode of the first season, Donna is left alone to babysit her little sister Tina. Both Tina and Valerie, Donna's older sister, were written off the show, much the same way as Richie's older brother Chuck, on Happy Days, or Laura's younger sister Judy, on Family Matters.

Chosen answer: He isn't. Time moves slowly in the show because they didn't want it to turn into "That '80's Show". In the first episode, he say's he's 17 but the second episode was his 17th birthday so he must have been 16. The first 12 episodes are set in 1976, the next 2 seasons are set in 1977, the next 3 seasons are set in 1978, and the remaining shows take place in 1979 with the final show on Dec 31, 1979 when Eric must be 20 as he turned 17 in 1976.
