The Dick Van Dyke Show

Harrison B. Harding of Camp Crowder, Mo. - S1-E6

Factual error: This is the only episode that Harrison is seen, mentioned or even talked about. But in all the rest of this series there is no Harrison. Both Harrison and Rob mention that he was the guy on the spot light fir the shows... But not one time did we see a spotlight on Rob in any of the episodes.

Liz Blue 1970

One Angry Man - S1-E24

Factual error: Talking to the lawyers, parties, or witnesses about anything. This will give the impression that something unfair is going on. And is also illegal. Which Rob was doing during this whole episode.

Liz Blue 1970

It May Look Like a Walnut! - S2-E20

Character mistake: Rob is having a nightmare, part of which involves the disappearance of his thumbs. When he finds Laura at home, the script calls for him to say, "I want you to help me get my thumbs back," but he actually says, "I want you to help me get my thumb backs." His thumbs are also still there but hidden (you can see a portion of them in one frame of the episode).
