Factual error: When Rory drives up the road, in the shot from inside the car there's a stop sign facing her up ahead to her right, but in the next shot that stop sign is now facing the opposite way, which has the wrong side facing the driver.
Rory's Dance - S1-E9
Factual error: The morning after Dean and Rory fall asleep at Miss Patty's, when Patty wakes them up, she tells them it's five-thirty in the morning. When Rory runs out into the street, there is snow on the ground and the sun is up. In Connecticut, there is no time of year in which there would be both snow on the ground and sunlight at 5:30 a.m. (It's not streetlights either - in other episodes that take place at night in the town square, the streetlights do not light up the entire square - they are some distance apart, and their light is concentrated around the poles).
Double Date - S1-E12
Factual error: Lane wants Rory to talk to Dean about setting up Lane with his friend Todd. While asking Rory to do this, Lane asks for the date to be planned for the following Sunday, after church; however, Lane is Seventh-day Adventist and they believe the Sabbath is Saturday and therefore attend church on Saturday, not Sunday. (00:04:45)
Suggested correction: Many Seventh-Day Adventist churches do actually hold church on Sunday.
Dear Emily and Richard - S3-E13
Factual error: When Lorelai arrives at the hospital, Rory says she is xeroxing a report that she needs to fax for Sherry because Sherry didn't make enough copies. No matter how many people the report needed to be faxed to, only one original copy would be needed.
Ted Koppel's Big Night Out - S4-E9
Factual error: Lorelei and Jason go to dinner after the Yale vs Harvard game. When the dinner is a bust, they go to the supermarket. Wine bottles can be seen as they enter the supermarket. Hard liquor and wine are not sold in supermarkets in Connecticut. Up until a few years ago, alcohol could not be purchased on Sunday or after 9 PM.
Factual error: Rory pulls out a seating chart to find a place to seat Shira, but when you see the seating chart, there are no names on it.
Factual error: This episode takes place in Connecticut in February. When Luke and Lorelei are leaving her house to go to the Vineyard, they are not wearing coats, there is no snow, and all the trees have leaves and plants are in bloom.
