Let It Be Me - S2-E23

Corrected entry: When Michael first meets Lisa, she remembers him from a long time ago. This episode neglects the pilot, where plastic surgery made him a new man with a new face. (00:05:00)

Correction: Either you're talking about a different episode or you got the name wrong. There is no "Lisa" in the episode. However, there is a "Stevie" who recognized Michael Knight right away because Michael Long (his name before the plastic surgery) was her fiancee. Which would be a mistake except that Michael Knight had already helped Stevie (Stephanie Mason) earlier in season 1 and thus Stevie is aware of Michael Long's facial and name change.

Suggested correction: As he drives away, you can see the parking lot has skid marks all over the place. It's impossible to say they came from other takes.

While I can agree with you, I suggest that the point where KITT reverses has darker marks than other spots. Over time, the repeated crossing by vehicles will cause the older marks to fade.

Junk Yard Dog - S3-E14

Other mistake: The chemicals in the pool eat the seats, including the metal hardware, the steering wheel, and all the electronics, but the tires remain intact, and inflated.

Suggested correction: Molecular Bonded Shield protects KITT's exterior including tires, while his interior isn't protected. Therefore, his tires haven't been destroyed by acid.

Continuity mistake: If you look closely at KITT throughout the pilot, the position of his scanner lens changes from being the normal scanner that we're all used to, and the scanner being at the very tip of the front bumper. (The latter case is because the car was used for a promo shots to sell to NBC, and after the show was picked up, they changed KITT's look, but still used the earlier shots).

Questions

Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1

Question: At one point, after promising help, Michael parks, and goes to a pay phone to call Devon. As he gets to the booth, over his left shoulder, there is a badly altered Pepsi sign. Black tape has been put over the word 'PEPSI' in the familiar logo, and also over the "si" in the phrase 'say Pepsi please'. What type of mistake would this be?

Movie Nut

Chosen answer: Before "product placement" became common, name-brand products were rarely, if ever seen in TV shows, mostly due to avoid advertising conflicts with program sponsors. The Pepsi logo may have been taped out to prevent any commercial infringements.

Are you kidding? Product placement was so rampant in the 50s that sometimes you'd wonder if you were watching a TV show or a paid ad.

Knight Rider wasn't produced in the 1950s. TV shows of that era had advertising more similar to the old radio shows from the 30s and 40s. The early 50s series often had a sole sponsor, so their product (and related items) was likely seen in a program. An announcer also informed the audience at the beginning that, "This program is brought to you by (insert brand name). " From the 60s on, brand-name products weren't generally seen in TV programs. Networks sold air time to multiple advertisers, and their ads were shown during the long commercial breaks. So no, I'm not kidding.

Answer: It wouldn't be a mistake. Anyone could have taped the sign for a number of reasons.
