5 corrected entries

(7 votes)

Media Blitz - S3-E5

Corrected entry: When Andy meets with Lucy and greets her, he says 'Natalie!' instead of Lucy. (Natalie is the name of the actress who portrays Lucy). (00:14:30)

Correction: The person Andy picks up is the character Natalie Ludgate (April's sister), not Lucy (Tom's girlfriend, played by Natalie Morales).

Time Capsule - S3-E3

Corrected entry: Jim O'Heir (then thought to be named Jerry) puts his mother's journal into the Time Capsule stating that she lived in the town all her life and it therefore contained facts about the town. When April reads a passage from the journal Jerry's mother calls him Jerold (Jerry is of course short for Jerold). However, later in the series during Leslie's ethics hearing for dating Ben, they claim that Jerry's name has always actually been Garry. This doesn't line up with the journal entry referring to Jerry as Jerold.

Correction: This isn't logical. For all we know, since we didn't see the text, his mother could have been calling him "Gerald," a much more common name that "Jerold."

How is Garry short for Gerald?

Time Capsule - S3-E3

Corrected entry: It's confirmed in the final season that Jerry (AKA Larry, Gary, and Terry) is actually called Gary. But in 3-3 "Time Capsule", he states that he would like to include his mother's book she wrote when he was little in the Time Capsule. The book refers to him as Gerald (Jerry) (00:00:30)

ILoveAva

Correction: His real name is Gerald Gergich (shortened to Garry). Over the course of the show he has been called Jerry, Larry and Terry by various people and never corrected them out of politeness. His mother got his name correct.

In The Trial of Leslie Knope, he states his name is Gary and shows Leslie his license.

Correction: In "Eagleton" Ron is offered the two films; "The Dirty Dozen" and "Bridge on the River Kwai". It is never specified which of the films he watched, it is possible he only watched the one.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Leslie's office has a town seal on the wall. That seal shows 1816. All other town seals in the show state 1817.

Correction: The seal behind Leslie's desk is an Indiana seal, which was admitted to the US in 1816. It's not a Pawnee seal.

Kaboom - S2-E6

Factual error: Leslie mentions that Eagleton is "2 towns over." We in later episodes see the border wall between them (S3E12), indicating they're right next to each other.
