Suggested correction: It is established that the ghosts have watched television, listened to the radio, smelled pizza/pepperoni, etc. It's not impossible that Pete saw Ghost on TV.

While they do watch television now, it's unlikely that Sophie watched "Ghost" and that Pete saw it alone. The reply from others was "you know we don't know what that is" and he said "oh, right the movie thing." Which was a call back to earlier when Trevor was trying to explain who Tara Reid was and the older ghosts had a hard time knowing or remembering what a movie was.

Country Dean - S1-E14

Factual error: Bessie says she was going to study veterinary medicine at Texas A and M. That would have been approximately 1940. Neither women nor people of colour were admitted to TAMU until 1963 so she could not have even been able to apply.

Family Day - S2-E5

Factual error: The phone number Harry is given has an exchange that starts with "0" (the first 3 digits after the area code). Phone numbers (in the US) can't start with "0" since that's the "operator."

Kiss/Maach - S2-E14

Episode #3.2 - S3-E2

Factual error: The navigation software "What3Words" is featured. Apparently the words "flop, sponge, knee" point to a storage facility in London. In reality, they actually point to somewhere near the city of McGrath, Alaska. "Hunch, bumpy, strut" are also mentioned, which actually point to somewhere near Paraburdoo, a town in Western Australia, definitely not a forest in London as depicted in the episode.
