Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (factual errors): JFK's doctor mispronounces the drug Lomotil as LOM-oh-til instead of low-MOW-til.
  • Goof (factual errors): When the doctor is talking to Jack about all the medications he's on in episode 4, he says he's on gabapentin to relax the muscles. It is not a muscle relaxant and did not come to market until 1994. This episode takes place in 1961. He also says "the ritalin isn't helping you sleep either". It's a stimulant it's supposed to keep you awake, not help you sleep.
  • Goof (anachronisms): Bobby's wife joins their kids in doing the Bunny Hop. This dance craze actually went through in 1952. They would hardly be doing it 9 years later.
