Corrected entry: Throughout Series: No one ever explained just how West and Gordon were able, in the 1870s, to send and receive telegraph signals from a moving train, without any wire connection.
The Wild Wild West (1965)
1 corrected entry
Starring: Robert Conrad, Dick Cangey, Ross Martin, Whitey Hughes
The Night of the Bubbling Death - S3-E1
Revealing mistake: As West drags the body of a bad guy out of the scene, the supposedly unconscious man is holding his head up so as not to have his head dragged through the dirt. A truly unconscious person's head would flop back on to the ground.
The Night Dr. Loveless Died - S3-E4
Trivia: Dr. Loveless' uncle's name, "Liebknicht", is, aside from the addition of the letter "k", German for "Loveless".
Correction: Wireless telegraphs were possible and designed in a number of ways in the early 19th century. Radio waves could be used. In 1832 James Lindsay demonstrated the idea of wireless telegraphy and showed it worked over a 2 mile distance in 1854. Thomas Edison patented his "grasshopper telegraphy", which allowed signals to jump the short distance between a running train and telegraph wires running parallel to the tracks. While this wasn't until the mid-1880's, Wild Wild West relied on advanced technologies and Gordon could have easily been able to come up with this same invention for personal use.
