Character mistake: While discussing the death penalty with Mac, Horatio observes that New York hasn't executed anyone since 1976. The last time New York executed an inmate was actually thirteen years earlier, in 1963.
Continuity mistake: After Dave Penrod jumps from the rooftop to escape from Horatio and Mac, the pair reach the ledge far too quickly from where they were previously, at least a building away.
Horatio Caine: Mac, I have a sixteen year old girl who is suddenly without both parents. I have promised her peace of mind.
Mac Taylor: I got an officer's widow who'd like some answers.
Mac Taylor: We got a deal.
Tinder Box - S1-E22
Trivia: Because the episode 'Tinder Box' closely resembled (and was likely based on) the fire at a nightclub in Rhode Island that killed 100 people, the local CBS affiliate decided not to air the episode so soon after the event.
Question: In the last few episodes of series 1, Horatio tells a few people that they will be spending the next few years a jail. But sometimes he says a 6x6 cell and others a 6x9 cell. So I was wondering do the sizes of cells usually differ or was it just a slip of the tongue?
Answer: Yes, sizes of jails differ.
