Factual error: When Charlie is driving over a bridge into Cincinnati he is driving on the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge connecting Covington, KY to Cincinnati. It shows the bridge as a one way heading north. It is actually a two way bridge.

Plot hole: Raymond's rigidly set routines force him to watch the TV shows "People's Court" and "Jeopardy" at the same times every day. Traveling on the road, however, this would be almost completely impossible, since the two shows aired in syndication. Not all cities aired them at the same times.

Raymond: 'Course I got Jeopardy! at five o'clock. I watch Jeopardy.
Charlie: Don't start with that, Ray.

Question: Why did Charlie take Raymond to meet Iris for the "date"? He knew that there was no real "date" because Iris is a prostitute. So why make him wait for her?

Answer: Susanna was there as well; Charlie just used the "date" as a reason for the three of them to go down for a drink together. He knew Iris wouldn't show up.
