The Twilight Zone

The Lonely - S1-E7

Other mistake: The supply crew arrives at the asteroid every 3 months, as established by the dialogue between Corry and the astronauts who bring him the female robot. However, Corry's narration reveals that he has been living with the robot for 11 months when the next supply ship arrives.

Where is Everybody? - S1-E1

Other mistake: When Mike first walks into the town he sees the ringing church bell then looks to his right. The camera acting as his POV pans from left to right but since he was already looking to his right then the camera would be facing the direction he just came from.

Nightmare as a Child - S1-E29

Other mistake: Helen is holding the cup of rich "cocoa" that Markie supposedly just drank. Helen says, "I thought she'd finished her cocoa, and here it is untouched." Close-up on the "cocoa," which is clearly (so to speak) nothing more than water. (00:12:10)

Where is Everybody? - S1-E1

Other mistake: When Ferris first arrives in the town the the church bell chimes seven times indicating it's 7 o'clock. Later the bells chime again but this time only four times indicating 4 o'clock. Surely he didn't walk around the empty town for 9 hours.

Suggested correction: Since the revelation of the episode is that Ferris is merely in a simulation, it stands to reason that they control how quickly time passes for him.

Time Enough at Last - S1-E8

Other mistake: Bemis is happy because he has enough time to read all he wants, but all the food would be poisoned by the radiation and and even if it wasn't, meat and fish it would spoil from not being refrigerated.

Suggested correction: Canned food and dried food (already packaged) would not be poisoned. Also, vegans get along well without meat or fish.

Noman

A Kind of a Stopwatch - S5-E4

Other mistake: When McNulty uses the stopwatch to rob a bank, he goes through a small wooden door and past the employees. With time frozen, the small door should have stayed open but immediately swings shut.

[A bomb in Wadsworth's room is seconds from going off, causing the Chancellor to panic].

Wadsworth: Yes, Chancellor. In the name of God, I will let you out.

A Game of Pool - S3-E5

Trivia: Johnson's script originally featured an ending in which Jesse loses the game and yet finds himself still alive. Seeing this, Fats explains that he will die "as all second raters die: you'll be buried and forgotten without me touching you. If you'd beaten me, you'd have lived forever." This ending was eventually filmed when this episode was remade in 1989, during the first revival of The Twilight Zone.
