Sad to say, it's not just trashy sitcoms where this crops up.

In the film Tin Drum, there's a scene which takes place on a beach in
the late 30's, and in the background a modern freighter sails by.
They didn't build ships like that until the 60's. Was it an accident,
or did the director go...oh look, lets get that ship in the scene and
no one realized it was the wrong era? Hard to believe, given the
attention to detail in that film.

Then there's that one where Woody Guthrie's riding around on modern
steel boxcars. I mean, they have entire vintage trains in Hollywood.
They couldn't have used one of those?

Oh, and the Sherman tanks with german insignia? The AT6''s
masquarading as Mitsubishi torpedo bombers? Incorrectly placed Waffen
SS insignia on jackets of the wrong color and cut? Jesus wept!

Not to mention that Centurion with the wristwatch. Bet he never got
work again.

Or Lee Harvey Oswald but obviously missing his antennae and
ichor-dripping fangs in that one oliver stone movie.

Or Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music" not getting savagely raped
then rifle-butted by the Nazis.

You're supposed to suspend your disbelief. You might as well ask why
are they so stupid as to try to convince us that flickering lights on a
screen represent people and objects moving around in three-dimensional
spacetime, or that the same actors can be dozens of different people
throughout their careers.

Are you having a CRISIS OF FAITH, Mags?

But of course, they -know- you won't believe it. They KNOW you will
know it's not real. But they know you will BELIEVE IT ANYWAY.

Praise "Bob".

It's all the flicker, mags.

Anybody knocks on my door at 3AM is very likely to get ventilated with .40 inch holes
in a creative shot pattern. Maybe a Donald Duck head, for instance.

I would say "thanks for the coffee, friend" afterwards though, assuming it didn't get
spilled in the process. I wonder how you say that in dutch. "Danke urg grug cafee
amigo" or something. I guess if they're dead though you can treat them as

You're supposed to suspend your disbelief that you are watching people
pretending to be in a past time period and they are supposed to HELP

I expect when they actually deliberately claim and make public

Well obviously these anachronisms are only jarring TO YOU because YOU
are a CRANKY OLD MAN who ALWAYS has to have SOMETHING to bitch about.
Maybe if you GET A JOB you can get a GOOD computer and then WHACK OFF to

Maybe if I GET A JOB I'll suddenly become BRAIN DAMAGED enough to NOT
REALIZE that I am trading THE BEST PART OF MY LIFE to be able to buy

I read a novel called "Dream of Venus" which was set in the 1939
World's Fair, and EVERY SINGLE PERIOD DETAIL WAS WRONG. I couldn't
decide if the author was willfully wrong, just stupid, or some
combination thereof. He had people putting viewmaster reels in slots
(1939 viewmasters opened like a clam shell), had a guy listening to FM
radio, etc. AND, to top it off, the author kept stopping the action
to describe these WRONG DETAILS!
