* UnconvincinglyUnpopularCharacter: In the books, his only admirer is his secretary, Della Street. This one ''especially'' boggles the mind, considering that he's an incredibly rich, handsome, powerful, world famous lawyer that is well known for being on the side of justice. He has hundreds of attractive, young female clients, who go through life and death situations with him, where he's always there to comfort and save them in their time of need. Yet ''none'' of them ever fall for him. If they flirt with him, it's always because they're just trying to manipulate or trick him. Apparently, no woman during those days wanted to chase and marry an insanely rich, prominent lawyer. [[HoYay Luckily he has Paul]].

** "The Case of the 12th Wildcat" shows Perry demonstrating in court how to short out a lamp and start a fire, with one of the ingredients used being asbestos -- nowadays prohibited from many kinds of use because of its known carcinogenic properties, and certainly not in a public circumstance like this anymore.
** "The Case of the Hasty Honeymooner" shows the murder suspect taking calomel (a poisonous mercury compound ''not even in use back then'') to self-medicate a chronic liver problem.
** Several episodes, such as "The Case of the Romantic Rogue" and "The Case of the Bashful Burro," show characters involved in trying to mine or otherwise extract uranium, an element often presented at the time as being just as valuable as gold. Handling radioactive material in the casual manner portrayed would nowadays be considered most unwise.

* HarsherInHindsight: The EverybodySmokes aspect of the show's time can be seen as this given that two years after the series ended; William Talman (Hamilton Burger's actor) succumbed to lung cancer in 1968, though not before shooting an [[SmokingIsNotCool anti-smoking PSA]] designed to begin airing after his death.
