Other mistake: When Lou and Cindy-Lou come home, Betty asks Cindy-Lou to unscrew the bulb in the refrigerator. A few moments later, Lou answers the phone, and repeats the question "Is my Sub-Zero Chillabrator running." Betty seems to have used an un-Who like term.

The Addams Family (1964)
The Addams Family Tree - S1-E5
Audio problem: With Morticia in his arms, he says "And I dropped you...only once." If you watch his profile, you can see that his face never moves. Hard to believe especially when you know he had an animated face.

Munster, Go Home! (1966)
Trivia: When Herman and Grandpa are locked in the counterfeiting room, Herman says "Call Batman." He was obviously referring to the Detective Comics series, where Batman first appeared in issue 27, in May, 1939. The Batman series starring Adam West debuted January 12, 1966.

Suggested correction: This movie was released in June 1966 so depending how long before that the filming took place, it may have been from the new Batman show (at that time).
That would be a possibility, as The Munsters debuted on television Sept. 24, 1964. Munsters Go Home appeared June 6, 1966. The Batman series starring Adam West debuted on television January 12, 1966. So given the dates, you would be correct, and given off-screen possibilities, I stand corrected, as I didn't have the correct dates at the time.

Munster, Go Home! (1966)
Trivia: When Herman and Grandpa are locked in the counterfeiting room, Herman says "Call Batman! Car 54, where are you?" Car 54 was a 1961 police sitcom that they both starred in before going to The Munsters in 1964.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
The Rip Van Winkle Caper - S2-E24
Factual error: When they looked at Mr. Herbie's case, they only saw the skeleton. Problem is the clothing was missing, where there should have been some remnants. And the vehicle started with no trouble. After a hundred years, the battery should have been dead, and the engine inoperable.

The Twilight Zone (1959)
The Eye of the Beholder - S2-E6
Revealing mistake: In the episode, all the people are shown from the neck down to hide their faces (which at the end we see this is on another planet as they are alien looking). But as the first nurse seen in the episode walks to the window and turns around, even in shadow you can see that she is normal looking, that is, no prosthetic or make-up applied for the alien effect.

Doctor Who (2005)
The Unicorn and the Wasp - S4-E7
Factual error: In Lady Edison's flashback, she's reading "The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd", her favorite book. However, this episode is set in 1926, and the dust cover is from 2006.

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Other mistake: After getting on aboard the dirigible, Henry is holding a German newspaper when addressing Indy. But he'd have a hard time reading it as it's upside down. Even if he's just trying to hide, holding an upside-down newspaper would draw the attention of suspicious guards.

Suggested correction: Henry Jones Sr. doesn't have his glasses in this scene. He can't really see anything on the newspaper, that's why he is holding it upside down.
I'd say that, more than anything, a hasty attempt to blend in would be more likely the culprit. Even without the spectacles, Henry, being the fastidious person he is, would have righted the paper, with or without eyewear.
But since he couldn't see the letters, how would he have righted the newspaper (or even noticed it was upside down)?
Ipon! (Japanese for "point.") I can see your point; however, I would ask that the following be considered: that there is usually more than just letters and words in newsprint. Even if not viewed, pictures are good indicators of the newspaper's orientation.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: Out by The Gun, Hawkeye's Captain insignia on his garrison cap is missing the lower corner of one bar. So, it would be considered unserviceable, that is, unfit for use, and should have been replaced with a new insignia.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: While that is true by the Army's standards, it is entirely in character for Hawkeye not to give a flying you-know-what about the state of his insignia.
True, but even he knew that correcting it sooner rather than later would be wise. But, as always, I bow to your knowledge.

M*A*S*H (1972)
Factual error: In the hut with BJ, Zale, and The Moose, there's a Coleman 413E stove in the background. Trouble is, that this unit didn't appear until 1954, and the Armistice ending hostilities, ending the war, was signed July 27, 1953.
