Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993)
1 revealing mistake in show generally - chronological order
Starring: Teri Hatcher, Dean Cain, Lane Smith, K Callan
Other mistake: Throughout the episode, including the very first shot, we see the sun is shining brighter and hotter than usual. This lends credibility to the theory that Superman's powers are responsible for increased solar activity. Later on in the episode it is revealed that the heatwave is being orchestrated by Lex Luthor, who is is heating an underground river to coincide with Superman using his powers. Lex does not however have any control of the weather, and no explanation is offered for why the weather conveniently 'played along' with his plan.
Perry: Real nice kid, millionaire by the time he was your age.
Jimmy: Yeah, well I had the mumps in sixth grade, kind of slowed me down.
Trivia: Dean Cain's mom Sharon Thomas appears in three episodes of the show. "The Green, Green Glow of Home" as Maisie, "Season's Greedings" as the pretentious lady and in "Just Say Noah" as the nun who thanks Superman.
