Season 1 Trivia

  • Episode 06 - Goof (revealing mistake): Detective Greenback describes the suspect maroon Toyota Camry to Whitehead as "one of those we ticket" for dark-tinted windows. When Dwight and Whitehead approach the suspect, his Camry has nominally-tinted windows.
  • Episode 07 - Goof (factual errors): In the opening, Dwight and Whitehead tool up to a FEDERAL courthouse in the GTO. The case about an assault on a toy store employee would be heard in the Shelby County Courthouse. Also, that was not a Tennessee flag behind Dwight.
  • Episode 01 - Goof (continuity error): In the final scene at the bar, Dwight is singing and the audience is rocking. A female extra sitting with another girl at a table at the foot of the stage to the right instantly reappears standing in front of Alfrie Woodard, and then back at the table again.
  • Episode 01 - Goof (factual errors): There are no all-night liquor stores in the State of Tennessee. In fact, no packaged liquor store may sell groceries and no grocery store may sell hard liquor or wine. Only beer and malt liquor can be sold at convenience stores.
  • Episode 07 - Goof (factual errors): In the scene at a takeout chicken-wing joint, Detective Greenback upbraids the owner for allowing his "chickenhawk" to service him at that location. A "chickenhawk" refers to an older man who seeks out young men for sex, not the young men who prostitute themselves.
