Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Corrected entry: During a conversation with Carson in the library, Lord Grantham bends down to pet the dog and addresses her as "boy" but throughout the rest of the series, Isis is a female dog.

Correction: In season 1 the dog is Pharaoh, a boy. Between season 1 and 2, Pharaoh dies and lord Grantham gets Isis.

Episode #1.5 - S1-E5

Corrected entry: While setting up a fire in lady Mary's bedroom, Daisy mentions that she "hates this room", and they show a clip of Mary carrying the dead body of Mr. Pamouk.

Episode #4.4 - S4-E4

Character mistake: When everyone is preparing to go in to dinner, Robert is wearing an adjustable bow tie. It's bad enough he's wearing black tie to dinner when he has guests, as his mother points out, but Robert, the Earl of Grantham, absolutely would not be seen wearing an adjustable tie with a stand up shirt collar, even among only his immediate family.

Season 5 generally

Trivia: Set in 1924, a few publicity shots of the Series 5 cast members, new and old, were rolled out, and one promotional photo in particular was quite revealing. Sitting on the mantelpiece behind cast members Hugh Bonneville and Laura Carmichael, who play the Earl of Grantham and Lady Edith, was a modern-day plastic bottle of water.

Questions

Show generally

Question: I understand that the show won the Emmy for Best Made-For-TV Movie or Miniseries. And, yet, the show has had more seasons. Just how do the rules for that category work and what made Downton Abbey eligible to be considered a miniseries?

Answer: Yes, because at the time it was not sure if it would continue and since it was short it could be seen as a miniseries. it also depends on where the producers decide to submit it. However since it continues on it is no longer a miniseries but a full series and thus cannot be submitted in the miniseries category anymore.
