Audio problem: When Tubbs meets up with Crockett on his boat after meeting with McCarthy and Gifford, the two have a small exchange before the scene ends. The dialogue appears to have been dubbed over as their mouths don't match the audio heard. (00:08:53)

The Great McCarthy - S1-E8

Character mistake: While at the party at McCarthy's house, Crockett tells McCarthy that he wants to participate in the yacht race that is taking place tomorrow. The following day, Gina and Trudy make an arrest at the beach, which Crockett helps with, and the following evening, Tubbs and Vanessa spend the night together. Then the day after that, the yacht race takes place. This means that the yacht race couldn't have taken place "tomorrow" as Crockett stated and instead took place the day after tomorrow. (00:21:57)
