Show generally

Factual error: Robert begins as a SGT in the NYPD (later promoted to LT). However, he has issued speeding tickets in his brother's/parent's neighborhood. The family Barone lives in Lynbrook NY. Lynbrook is part of Nassau County, Long Island, which is not part of NYC. Robert would have no jurisdiction to issue speeding tickets there.

Ruri chan 'Kôkai nisshi' - S1-E5

Factual error: Being set in the future, it is of course possible that some things changed, but it is worth noting that there are around 50 various flags behind Jun during the explanation of the funeral diversity, all real flags of contemporary countries - but the Cuban flag is the only one that is shown incorrectly mirrored, with the triangle on the right and not on the left.

Y2dicK - S4-E17

Factual error: Mary gives Dick directions to press Command-Q to close something. As Dick is using a Compaq computer which would be running Windows, he would not have a Command key and would instead have a Control key (which he actually is pressing) as the Command key exists only on Apple Macintosh computers. Ctrl+Q on a Windows machine doesn't do anything. (00:09:10)
