Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)

Michelangelo's Birthday - S3-E31

Factual error: The very beginning of the episode shows Michelangelo's Birthday circled on the calendar, and it is shown as the second Tuesday of the month as well as being the 13th day. The second Tuesday of a month can never be the 13th. The earliest the 13th of a month can be is the second Thursday.

Suggested correction: This is simply wrong. If a month starts on a Thursday, the first Tuesday will be the 6th, and the second will be the 13th.

I messed up the wording on this. The calendar in question literally shows the 13th as being the second Tuesday in the calendar grid format (i.e. there is one row indicating a week above). The 13th should be placed in the third row in this manner.
