Joan of Arcadia picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: Joan asks her brother Luke, a physics nerd, to explain the elecromagnetic spectrum to her for an exam. He tells her that everything the eye can see is in the center; molecules, gravity, and things we can't see but can quantify based on their behavior are on the left; and on the right is everything we haven't figured out yet, such as time warps and ghosts. Wrong. There is no scientific scale divided into "things we know" and "things we don't". The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of wave frequencies. We define sound, ultraviolet light, infrared light, visible light, X-rays, and cosmic rays by this spectrum. Gravity is completely different, as are molecules and most of the things mentioned in the scene. Luke, as a physics geek, would absolutely know all this. He would never, ever describe the electromagnetic spectrum the way this scene had him doing.

Correction: Well technically Chuckie never had to lie, because Nicole never asked him if he was really Chuckie.

Rosemary & Thyme picture

Three Legs Good - S3-E5

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.

The Simple Life picture

Show generally

Corrected entry: In episode 17, when they originally get into the police cruiser you notice that the car is facing out. However when it shows them pulling away, the car is backing out of the parking space. Also when it shows them first getting into it, you will see that Nicole gets into the drivers seat first, but the next scene shows Paris in the drivers seat.

Correction: Can there really be any mistakes for a reality show? It is a camera crew following Paris and Nicole around. Everyone knows there is a camera crew. And there isn't really any acting, no one is following any scripted scenes so can there be mistakes?
