Mr. Garrity and the Graves - S5-E32

Corrected entry: Garrity is a con artist with an accomplice who pretends to be a resurrected dead man. Yet the accomplice somehow achieves the unachievable by vanishing, via fade-out special effect, in front of several townspeople. Since he's a fraud, he couldn't possibly do this.

Correction: At the end of the episode, we learn that Garrity is not a fraud and can really bring back the dead. Therefore, if he can do that, we can safely assume he can also make his partner disappear.

Correction: Serling's script called for Garrity to say "Lookee there!" or something like that, to distract the townspeople's attention in a different direction. During this time, the accomplice could quickly move off the street. The director decided to do the fade-out instead for effect, even though it makes no sense in the context of Garrity being a simple con man.

A Kind of a Stopwatch - S5-E4

Other mistake: When McNulty uses the stopwatch to rob a bank, he goes through a small wooden door and past the employees. With time frozen, the small door should have stayed open but immediately swings shut.

Come Wander with Me - S5-E34

Trivia: Producer William Froug rejected an extremely nervous young singer/actress auditioning for the part of Mary Rachel, and recalls thinking that "I'll probably kick myself. She'll probably be a big star." He turned out to be right on both counts. The aspiring young singer's name was Liza Minnelli.
