Trivia Facts | Top Quotes | Goofs/Mistakes

Goof (continuity error): In the episode The Prophet (2.21) Melinda states that Andrea died in a plane crash that occurred on May 11. May 11 is a big day for disasters, as it's mentioned numerous times. Later, in the episode Book of Changes (4.23), Andrea's name is followed with 8204, which reversed is supposed to be her date of death, which would be April 28, not May 11 as previously stated.
Goof (anachronisms): In the Pilot, the ghost of Vietnam Veteran Sgt. Paul Adams is wearing plain Olive drab (green) jungle fatigues, correct for the 1960s, but by the time he supposedly died, it was 1972 and his unit (5th ID), as most U.S. Army units, had changed to the "Nam Leaf pattern" camouflage (ERDL) uniform for several years already.
Goof (crew or equipment visible): When Mr. Dale and Mr. Pinkus are fighting on the porch, both arms of the cameraman and the camera are visible on the right side of the porch.

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After an art exhibit Jim states that the last person executed by hanging in the United States was Billy Bailey on September 25, 1996. While he stated the correct person he got the month wrong. Billy Bailey was in fact executed on January 25, 1996.
Goof (factual errors): The sawing a woman in half illusion is just that - an illusion. Though it appears that half of the woman is in one box and half in the other, in fact she is entirely contained in the top box and the bottom box is empty. Therefore, when the magician is spooked by the ghost early in the show and his saw drifts off-target into the bottom box, his female assistant is in no danger whatsoever - she is squeezed up in the top box. But Melinda jumps up and yells, "stop the trick!", the magician draws out a saw covered with blood, and later Jim is seen patching the girl's legs and saying the cuts are only superficial. The magician's saw would never even have been near the girl's legs.
Goof (miscellaneous): Kate Godfrey is incorrectly named Drew Godfrey in the credits.
Goof (revealing mistake): When the cover of Adam Godfrey's book "Lost Delusions" is opened to the first page, the text is actually the first page of William Wharton's novel, "Birdy".

Goof (continuity error): When Melinda enters the elevator she presses the button for the fourth floor, but the elevator stops on the second as seen on the side and she gets out.
Goof (continuity error): The missing toe on the dead guy's body is on his right foot. When the bloody footprints appear at the station house, after Jim's ring is stolen, it's still the right foot that's missing the middle toe. But when Jim points out the footprints to Melinda, as he says 'the missing toe is on the right foot', he's pointing at a print made by the LEFT foot, which is now clearly missing the middle toe; the right foot now has all 5 toes showing in the print.
Goof (continuity error): When Jim and the mortician discuss Bryan's corpse, the mortician first says that the body is a John Doe. Then when Jim asks about the missing toe, the mortician says that there is no mention of any surgery in his records. As a John Doe, he'd not have any records.

While there is one email sent by him to his former girlfriend, "nicole72", subject: "I know you're mad", the rest of the emails *sent* by him are mostly spam, including an email that Sam would have sent to a Randel2012 at 3:28am with the subject, "100 mg 60 pills $2.17 per pill".
