Escape from Party Island - S3-E17
Corrected entry: Whilst Bobby is sitting on the bench at the baseball game you can see his shirt is yellow. When Bill is having his little temper tantrum, a shot of the field shows the pitcher is wearing a green shirt. Some of the other players were wearing blue. I doubt there were more than 2 teams or more than two different uniforms.

Corrected entry: After Wayne Brady kills the policeman, you can see inside Brady's car the lights on the police car behind are white and red. However in the wide shot of the car when Brady is pulling away the lights on the police car are all red.
Correction: This is not correct. The color of the lights never change and the cop car never changes. In the first shot, the beam of light hits directly into the camera, minimizing the tint, but when the camera angle changes, the amount of direct light changes, so the tint is more prominent.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Wayne Brady kills the policeman and gets back in the car you can see the police car through the back window to the right. When it shows a wide shot of the car pulling away the police car is now to the left of Brady's car.
Correction: The cop car never moves in the scene, it is the camera angles that change. In the first shot, the camera is focused straight on Wayne Brady, whereas the second shot, the camera angle is now to the far left making it look like the cop car changed position, but it is in the same spot.
18th Jun 2014
Corrected entry: Carla Gugino plays Malin Akerman's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only seven years older than Akerman.
Correction: This can hardly be considered trivia since Gugino ages 42 years in the movie. It would be the same as pointing out she played a 67 year old despite being only 37.
9th Jun 2014
Corrected entry: Adam Sandler plays Andy Samberg's father in the movie, even though in real life he's only 12 years older than Samberg.
Correction: This can hardly count as trivia since the point of the movie was Donny (Adam Sandler) was just 13 years old when he impregnated the mom.
16th Dec 2013
Corrected entry: Brian turns up to the first race and suggests upping the stakes. They are upped, but everyone has the right amount of money in bundles. They didn't know the stakes would be raised, and certainly not to what. So it's near impossible that all 3 would have the exactly right bundles of money. (00:06:00)
Correction: Just because people don't behave like you would doesn't make it a mistake. There's no reason to think that people gambling on street racing wouldn't have more money with them than the stakes would be. Plus, money (at least in the US) comes bundled in specific amounts and gamblers (of all types) would know and bet based on these bundles.

The Cold War - S1-E8
Corrected entry: Cold War: When Kenan is making the "cold medicine" he puts it all in the food processor, which should not leak at all.
Correction: It was spilling out from the top, which has an opening in it used for adding things when in use.
22nd Jul 2013
Corrected entry: When Rosemary & Laura take Holly, the dog, back to its owner, they arrive at the building, but Holly walks right past it, like she's never been there before. You think she'd know where she comes from.
Correction: There is no mistake. Just because an animal doesn't behave like you think they should doesn't make it a mistake. There are many reasons Holly would walk past the building.
22nd Aug 2013
Corrected entry: At the very end, driving away from the airport, Billy Crystal calls his calf "Norman", which is his name, but then Billy calls him "Mitch", which is Billy's name.
Correction: It's Barbara who calls out Mitch's name, not Mitch calling the calf the wrong name.
5th Jun 2014
Corrected entry: Near the beginning, Chopper is stabbed repeatedly in the abdomen. After about 5-6 stabs, he puts his hand around the knife-wielder's throat and says "Put the knife down and I'll let you go." The other guy says after dropping the knife, "Okay, I've dropped the knife, let go of me hands." But Chopper isn't holding his hands; he's holding his throat.
Correction: Chopper only has one hand on Jimmy's throat, the other hand IS being held by Chopper. While Jimmy does use the plural, that's just his speaking style (the same way he says "me" instead of "my").
29th Apr 2014
Corrected entry: When Gorman is knocked unconscious, his eyes are open. Only dead people keep their eyes open; Gorman is in a deep sleep - he's not dead.
Correction: This entry is completely wrong. Many people have been knock unconscious with their eyes open. And being unconscious is NOT a deep sleep (although I have witnessed people who sleep with their eyes open).
10th Aug 2007
Corrected entry: Because Earth is moving closer to the sun, Serling says here that there is no longer night anywhere on the planet. For this to occur, Earth would have to stop rotating and/or be close enough to the sun to be engulfed in its corona, both cataclysmic events that would annihilate all life on the planet. (00:21:00)
Correction: SPOILER ALERT: The events described were merely a fever induced dream of Norma's and thus never actually occurred, therefore, there is no mistake. The Earth was moving away from the sun the whole time.
10th Mar 2011
Corrected entry: Becky reminds Jesse that her mother initially wasn't happy when she started dating Jesse, but that doesn't seem quite right. First of all, Becky's parents didn't even meet Jesse until the night before their wedding in Season 4, and when they did, Becky's mother was delighted with him. If either parent had a problem with Jesse, it was Becky's father, so this comment from Becky doesn't make sense.
Correction: There is no mistake here. Parents, especially mothers, don't have to meet the boyfriend face-to-face before disliking him. In Becky's case, there was a lot not to like about Jesse. But once they saw how happy Becky was and finally met Jesse (like in so many real-life instances), they grew to like him.
I agree. There could be reasons why Becky's mother disliked Jesse before meeting him in person. Maybe she judged him based on hearing Becky talk about him. Maybe she dreamed of her daughter marrying some other man.

Play It Again, Vanessa - S1-E8
Corrected entry: When Cliff and Theo are playing chess, Theo never starts the clock to start his turn, he just moves and stops the clock.
Correction: There is no mistake in this scene - both Cliff and Theo used the chess clock correctly. It's not Theo's job to start the clock before his turn, his clock started when Cliff stopped his. (And the scene starts in the middle of the game).
13th May 2011
The Shower - S3-E19
Corrected entry: In the scene in which Clair and Cliff are talking in the kitchen and Clair has her back turned to Cliff at the sink, the camera goes from Clair and the flowers - which are still wrapped in paper - cuts briefly to Cliff, and then back to Clair, who is now facing him with the flowers all perfectly arranged in water in the vase behind her.
Correction: That's because throughout the whole scene you can see her unwrap the flowers and move them into the vase. There is no mistake.
13th May 2011
Corrected entry: When Lionel comes in, we don't see him hanging any jacket, but when he goes out, he grabs one and puts it on.
Correction: When Lionel comes in, he's wearing his jacket and walks to the coat rack while he and Theo are talking. You see him start to take off the jacket and when the camera cuts to Theo, he has plenty of time to finish removing it and put it on the coat rack. When the camera cuts back to Lionel, he's walking away from the coat rack and you see his jacket hung up on it.
12th May 2011
Corrected entry: When Cliff calls Caroline's father, Cliff simply picks up the phone and starts talking to her father without dialing any numbers.
Correction: This is wrong. After Cliff picks up the phone, you see him pushing the buttons on the telephone before talking to Caroline's father.
2nd Mar 2014
Corrected entry: There were only three weeks between the night General Radek was captured and the the night of the ceremony to honor President Marshal. Even with the help of agent-turned-traitor Gibbs, three weeks would have been too short an amount of time for the terrorists to get all the information they needed, study the layout of the plane, come prepared with a pilot trained to fly such a plane and kill the actual news crew originally cleared to fly on Air Force One.
Correction: There's no evidence 3 weeks is not enough time. In fact, with the given number of terrorists and urgency to complete their mission, three weeks is plenty of time.
22nd Dec 2005
Corrected entry: Vermin tells his sidekick that he plans to kill Tommy Kelly at the exact moment that Cagney is killed in the movie. But there's no way for him to have known anything about what happened in the movie, because no one had even seen it yet. Even though the specific movie is never named, the radio announcement Vermin had listened to the previous day clearly states that DA Kelly and the governer would be attending the premiere of Cagney's new movie.
Correction: First, there's no evidence the movie was never seen by anyone. It was merely premiere night. Vermin was already disguised as a theater worker before telling the sidekick his plan, so it's plausible he did at least see part of it to plan his attack.
26th Mar 2012
Corrected entry: Ryder says it takes 6 hours to fly to Iceland from New York. It takes less than 4.
Correction: A quick search for flights from KEF (Keflavik, Iceland) to JFK shows 6 hour flight times.

Correction: The pitcher is wearing a blue shirt just like his teammates, not green. The shot of the field there are only 2 team colors seen, yellow and blue.
