Magnum P.I.

Six Paintings, One Frame - S1-E4

Character mistake: The art expert says that lapis is a rare gemstone and was used in painting only up to the Victorian Era, after which became too expensive. That's quite misleading; it's not that lapis became more rare or expensive, it's just that adequate artificial substitutes became available.

I, the Deceased - S1-E14

Character mistake: When they are at the docks/harbor and they capture the person who poisoned the guy that hired Magnum, Higgins tells him if he resists, Magnum will shoot him. She says he has 16 bullets, but he's carrying a 1911 and the most it will have is 10 rounds.

The Day Danger Walked In - S3-E5

Factual error: Higgins, Thomas, TC and Rick are locked in a freezer. Their barber friend is tapping his horn in "a pattern" Higgins says is Morse code, and announces that he tapped "move back." Not really. I know Morse Code. All I got (along with a few undecipherable things) was TOERT NMU ETM CEA OFJ DER WK. No way that spells "Move Back."
