Green-Eyed Dick - S1-E6

Corrected entry: In the scene where Dick plays racquetball with Jeff, before the game Dick is not wearing a watch. When he comes out of the game (screaming "I won, I won!") he is wearing a watch on his left wrist. Credit goes to my brother Jason for spotting this one. (00:05:30 - 00:06:20)

Correction: When he's sitting on the bench in the locker room, speaking with Sally before the game, if you look closely, you'll catch a glimpse of his watch. You can actually see the outline of it underneath his sleeve, which is rolled down and long enough to almost completely hide the fact that he's wearing one.

Season 1 generally

Corrected entry: In the intro the characters are described with their function (high commander, military officer, etc.). And when they show Harry you hear "well, they had an extra seat" making it look like Harry went along for fun and isn't important. But he is the transmitter and he had to go with them or they wouldn't be able to make contact with their home planet. So he's not just "an extra seat" as is said in the intro.

Correction: It is explained later in the series that Dick was hesitant about telling Harry his function for the mission because he didn't want him to know he had a transmitter in his head.

Phaneron

Correction: It's hanging way too low to be a set light. It's simply a light in the locker room.

Dick: Does anyone remember why we all decided to be white?
Harry: Oh, um, I went with white ‘cause I thought it'd be a little cooler in the summer.
Tommy: Well don't you remember, Dick? All the television signals that we picked up in outer space were filled with white people.
Sally: Oh, except for that, uh, that black nerd with the hiked-up pants and the oversized glasses. What was his name?
Tommy: Bryant Gumbel.
Sally: Right.

Dick's Big Giant Headache (1) - S4-E23

Trivia: When the Solomons meet the Big Giant Head at the airport and ask how his flight was, he says that it was horrible because when he looked out the airplane window, he saw something on the wing of the plane. Dick responds that the same thing happened to him. William Shatner appeared in the 1960's Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" in which a gremlin tried to destroy the wing of a plane. John Lithgow appeared in "Twilight Zone: The Movie" playing the same character in the same situation.
