NewsRadio (1995)
Starring: Andy Dick, Stephen Root, Dave Foley, Maura Tierney
Character mistake: When talking about poker Jimmy asks Dave "What are the chances of getting five of a kind of the same suit?" The most you can get is four of a kind and they would be all different suits.

Suggested correction: Jimmy says "in the same suit" which is slightly different than "of the same suit." It was just a weird way of saying the odds of getting a flush. Lisa replies with 504.8 (the odds of getting a flush). In poker lingo, 3 or 4 of a kind is taken to mean same value since 3 or 4 cards in the same suit isn't anything.
Suggested correction: Five of a kind is possible when using one or more wild cards, such as Jokers.
Continuity mistake: Bill takes the ON AIR sign off the wall and shows it to Dave he then puts it on a shelf of tapes. Dave leaves and the ON AIR sign is back on the wall.
Trivia: In this episode, Matthew becomes obsessed with the comic strip "Dilbert." At the end, Dave has an actor friend pretend to be Scott Adams, creator of "Dilbert", to get Matthew to quit the job at the coffee shop. The real Scott Adams appeared in the beginning of the show, in line at the coffee shop where Matthew first discovers "Dilbert."

Jimmy James: I'm out of here. This has been the worst cracker time in recorded history.
