The Wonder Years

Swingers - S1-E2

Factual error: Paul and Kevin go to the book store to buy "Everything you always wanted to know about sex." In this episode it was still 1968 but the book was not released until 1969.

Season 1 generally

Factual error: Kevin and Wayne's bedroom shows a Beatles poster of the White Album. However this album, and presumably the poster as well, didn't come out until November 1968. This season opens with the summer and start of the school year 1968.

Odd Man Out - S3-E6

Factual error: Near the end of the episode when Kevin and Paul are riding their bikes toward each other before they stop for a brief hello of sorts, Kevin rides past a couple cars parked on the street that were built in the early 1980's. A red Pontiac LeMans and a black Pontiac Grand Prix-both were parked in front of the 1969 Ford Thunderbird.

Show generally

Question: Did this show have an episode in which Wayne was stood up by a date, or he couldn't convince a girl to go out with him? Then Kevin told him that the girl thinks he is pathetic. I described this moment in the "General Questions" section here, and someone said it might be this show. Thanks.

Answer: Sounds like the episode 'Hiroshima, Mon Frère', season 2, episode 8.
