Character mistake: When Sam and Diane are embracing and saying goodbye, Diane asks, "Sam?" and Sam replies, "Yeah, Shel." Shelley is the actor's real name. (00:17:00)
Suggested correction: He says "yeah, chum?" It's another word for pal or friend, which is in line with everything else he has been saying.
Continuity mistake: When Coach walks out from behind the bar near the start, he's got feathers almost up to his knees. Then when he turns around to walk back, they're now only over his feet. (00:03:55)
Trivia: When they were deciding on what sport the character Sam Malone would play they originally chose football but ultimately decided baseball would work better.
Question: Does anyone know whether the coloured-in photos, which appear throughout the opening titles sequence, are real or made up for the show? If they ARE real, when George Wendt's name appears there's a shot of a man holding a newspaper with 'WE WIN' as the headline - does anybody know what this referred to?
Answer: Here is the source of the "WE WIN" photo: http://www.oldnycphotos.com/nyny587ac.html Brooklyn, of all places.
Chosen answer: The pictures in the opening sequences are real pictures of people enjoying alcohol (from various dates), and are not meant to represent or include any of the cast members. The "we win" sign (most likely not a newspaper headline) is referring to the end of prohibition (1933) A fitting tribute to a show about drinking alcohol.
The word "Nazi" appears in the caption to a story underneath the headline. Maybe the headline refers to the Nazi surrender.
