Starring: Hal Linden, Max Gail, Ron Glass, Steve Landesberg
Grand Hotel - S2-E7
Factual error: A hotel worker citizens arrests a guy for statutory rape in his hotel of his girlfriend who is 17. The police talk about charging him but not wanting to. 17 is legal age of consent in New York so there would be no statutory rape.
Revealing mistake: The actor that played Barney Miller, Hal Linden, was left handed and did everything left handed. However, they always put his gun on his right hip with the handle facing the right. A lefty cannot conveniently pull the gun this way.
Suggested correction: Hal Linden writes with his left hand, however he uses his right for many things. He ate with his right hand (in Graft), and in the episode where Fish thinks he needs to retire, Barney pulls his gun with his right hand.
Dietrich: Was that Mrs. Miller?
Barney Miller: Yeah.
Dietrich: Past tense was unintentional.
