If the Shoe Fits - S6-E13

Revealing mistake: When Danny recounts crashing the pickup and breaking the tail light, you can hear the light shatter when he hits the tree - but it doesn't actually break. In the next shot, however, the tail light is suddenly smashed.

How To Make a Killing Without Really Trying - S6-E14

Revealing mistake: When Jessica enters Gordon Tully's office and looks around, there's a photo of him with Buddy Black. The picture is an awful, poorly done composite: the lighting on their heads doesn't match the rest of the image, the head sizes are out of proportion with the bodies, and the overall light direction is inconsistent.

Suggested correction: A light is reflected in the window. The scene is illuminated, so there are obviously lights at the location. What about the reflection indicates that they are stage lights?

Suggested correction: A light is reflected in the window. What indication is there that it is a stage light and not just a lamp that would be at the setting?

Who Killed J.B. Fletcher? - S7-E14

Factual error: Bremerton, Washington is not a hick town as depicted in this episode (it is the home of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, a US Navy installation that employs 14,000 people) and the people there do not have southern accents.

Thicker Than Water - S8-E4

Factual error: At the end of the episode after Wayne is shot, there is a brief shot of the outside of the hospital where he has been taken. The sign outside the hospital says Dalesboro, Ohio. Why would someone shot in coastal Maine end up in a hospital in Ohio?

Programmed for Murder - S8-E18

Revealing mistake: In the outside shot of the hospital, just before Mort discusses his cough with Doc Hazlet, you can see a sign saying the hospital is located in Ohio, not in Maine. This isn't the only episode where this exact mistake is made.

Night of the Coyote - S9-E6

Factual error: Celestial navigation can determine one's position on the earth's surface to within about one mile, not precise enough to give the location of a buried treasure. It also requires more than a sextant. It requires tables published in a nautical almanac (which is updated each year), charts on which to plot lines of position, and an accurate chronometer that is set to the precise time at the Prime Meridian (Greenwich Mean Time).

More trivia for Murder, She Wrote

Answer: At the start, Edward told Jessica that he loved the changes she'd made to her new book. Later, as his mental condition declined, he said the book was terrible and he wouldn't publish it until she made improvements. Edward's later note to Jessica was to apologise for saying her novel was bad and that he had been right about it the first time.
