Character mistake: Rudy says that the last time some of Anna and Russell's friends visited them was during their 50th anniversary, and she got rich because they gave her money. In the actual episode of the Golden Anniversary however, the only guests at Anna and Russell's dinner party were the immediate family and Elvin.

Factual error: When Clair and Denise are watching the Bears vs. the Giants game, they comment on how cute player number 16 is. In 1985, nobody wore 16 for either the Bears or the Giants. Former Bears' placekicker Bob Thomas wore it from 1975 to 1984 until he retired. 16 wasn't worn again by the Bears until Tim Lashar, another kicker, wore it in 1987. Also, 16 had long since been retired by the Giants. It was last worn by Frank Gifford.

Other mistake: It is daylight outside when Cliff and Clair are talking, but when he turns the lights off to try on his light-up Father's Day gifts, it gets pitch black in the room.
