** Mitigated somewhat in that Captain Janeway's first name ''was'' Elizabeth at one point in pre-production; they could simply have been using an old source. But as mentioned, it's a flimsy excuse; a single Google would've provided the right answer.

* [[http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/24/nyregion/24theatct.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimesTheater This]] review of a production of ''Theatre/AntonyAndCleopatra'' starring Kate Mulgrew improperly gives Mulgrew's ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' character, Captain Janeway, the first name of Elizabeth. JustForFun/{{Egregious}} for three reasons: 1) this is ''the New York Friggin' Times'', 2) ''Franchise/StarTrek'' is incredibly well documented by fanboys and putting "Janeway" in the search box would have instantly brought up the correct answer, and 3) Mulgrew is a prime example of TheDanza, and Janeway's first name is also Kathryn.

* On [[https://www.welcometotelevision.net/halliwell/209-ms-hellfire the episode]] of the {{podcast}} ''Welcome to Halliwell Manor'' covering the ''Series/Charmed1998'' episode "[[Recap/CharmedS2E9MsHellfire Ms. Hellfire]]", hosts Max and Tina frequently refer to the episode as being a parody of ''Series/{{Alias}}''. Even going as far to say that the scene where Prue finds a whole selection of Ms. Hellfire's wigs for undercover work only exists to hammer home the Sydney Bristow comparisons. Small problem; ''Alias'' didn't air it's first episode 'til September 30, 2001, '''20 months''' after this episode first aired - on January 13, 2000.

** Many listings for pre-2003 ''Series/InaiInaiBaa'' merchandise on sites like Mercari call Kuu, the puppet character at the time, U-Tan. Justified, as the show wasn't popular as it was before U-Tan debuted, and some people may have trouble identifying the character. One listing even called Kuu Jean Jean, a character who mainly appears in the ''Wan Wan Wonderland'' [[LiveOnStage live shows]].

* On the ''Series/InaiInaiBaa'' 20th anniversary DVD, what's labeled as Kana-chan's first appearance is actually from the first time she gained her second costume and the first time that the puppet character Kuu appeared. This could have been intentional on NHK's part, as the actual first episode had tons of elements considered EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, such as Kana-chan's poodle outfit and a different puppet called Penta being there instead of Kuu.

** During the murder trial of Skylar Deleon, much was made in the news of him having been a "star" of ''Power Rangers'', thus leading many to believe he actually played one of the Rangers. He was a guest star. In '''one''' episode. As a kid. Supposedly, this mistake stemmed from Deleon himself talking up his own role. However, it got taken a step further when some people misinterpreted the misinterpretation of the facts and thought that Austin St. John or Jason David Frank were the ones being accused.

** In the entry for ''Series/TicTacDough'', it says the bonus round on the Creator/{{CBS}} revival was the same as on the syndicated show (uncover money amounts up to $1000 or the words "Tic" and "Tac" before finding the dragon). On the CBS show it was to uncover an "X" or "O" pattern making a tic tac toe before finding the dragon.

* ''Series/MysteryDiagnosis'': One of the episodes, "The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Eating," when Conor Heybach is diagnosed with Prader-Willi Symdrome, he went through is therapy which is one of the treatments, the narrator says that in addition to no cure, also incorrectly says that there is no treatment.

** Creator/AdamSandler's "The Chanukah Song" [[ListSong lists people with real and fictional ties to Judaism]]. However, in the original iteration of the song, Sandler mistakenly understated Creator/HarrisonFord's Jewish background, describing him as "one-quarter Jewish, not too shabby". Ford is actually half-Jewish, from his mother's side, [[https://www.slashfilm.com/1130026/harrison-ford-amusingly-corrected-an-inaccuracy-in-adam-sandlers-hanukkah-song/ something Ford himself personally corrected Sandler about]]. It helps that Sandler updates the song from time to time.

* It's not uncommon for some viewers of classic ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' to believe that Creator/SteveMartin was one of the classic SNL cast members, due to his many appearances as host during the initial five years (and after). However, there was a radio broadcast where the DJ's discussed the funniest SNL cast members, ''not'' hosts, and specifically mentioned Martin. In fact, you can find many articles that discuss early SNL and name Steve Martin among those "future stars" whose career was launched by SNL, which is wrong on at least two levels.

** A sketch from 1991, "Partridge Family vs. The Brady Bunch", seemed to confuse Mushmouth from ''WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids'' with Dumb Donald from the same series: Specifically, the character is referred to as Mushmouth and is TheUnintelligble like him, but he looks like Dumb Donald. Possibly justified for RuleOfFunny - Mushmouth's gimmick suits the punchline, but the audience would be more apt to recognize Dumb Donald by appearance.

** Creator/BryanFuller announced early on that the series would break with established ''Trek'' tradition in that the lead character would not be the captain, but a lieutenant commander. It would seem traditions die hard. When it was announced that Sonequa Martin-Green had been hired to play the lead character, numerous online news outlets announced that she would be playing "the captain" or would write headlines like "''Series/{{The Walking Dead|2010}}'' Star Sonequa Martin-Green will Command CBS's ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery''." [[note]]By the end of season three, Martin's character did become the captain of ''Discovery'', so they were right eventually.[[/note]]

** Because of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the movies]], some critics on Youtube have this misconception that the Elves of the Second Age should be this wise and dignified creatures, when in canon they were anything but that in the Second Age. The show certainly took a lot of things wrong about them, but is ain't one of them.

** Sonequa Martin-Green has been described many times as playing ''Star Trek'''s first black woman captain. Given that she only achieves that rank at the end of the show's third season, that distinction ''actually'' goes to Dawnn Lewis, as ''[[WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks Lower Decks]]'' had introduced Captain Freeman nearly a full year before.
