Mac Taylor: It never ceases to amaze me how men of higher education can commit such... stupid crimes.
Season 3, episode 49 (Not What It Looks Like). Breaking glass with sound is possible, but would not work as depicted in the episode. First, in order to break the glass, you have to force the glass to vibrate at its natural frequency - that is, the frequency at which it would vibrate if it were tapped. Each piece of glass has its own natural frequency, depending on a range of factors including size, chemical makeup, shape, hardness, and manufacturing methods. No single frequency would shatter all the glass in the store at the same time. Finally, in order to break the glass the piece has to be closed-ended. You can't shatter a plate of glass with sound (nowhere for the sound waves to resonate). Please see http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/feb98/887203231.Ph.r.html See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
On May 17, 2006, the episode titled "Charge of This Post", there is a scene where they are looking at Mac Taylor's DD214 form and they have the word separation misspelled. It says "Enlisted Record and Report of Seperation Honorable Discharge." [So whoever typed up Mac's form made a mistake. Bad spelling is a character error, not a mistake.]
When Mac shows the picture of a guy to the paralyzed woman, she starts to freak out and her fingers move. She was already paralyzed so that was impossible. [Paralysed is a somewhat amorphous term. Few people are totally paralysed - Christopher Reeve could move his toes a little. This woman is almost totally paralysed - she can move some of her fingers.]
They manage to identify the African blood diamond dealer by analysing his coat seam’s wear pattern using video surveillance footage. Problem is, in the US Customs footage, they take the seam on the left of his back and in the jewellery store's footage, the seam on the right. There is no way they could match the wear pattern of two different seams. [The seam in question is in the middle of his back. The only difference in the two pictures is that the diamond dealer is leaning in different directions in each picture. The real problem with this scenario is whether the definition on the surveillence video from both souces is of high enough quality to even make this comparison. That is something of a stretch.]

Episode 406, Boo. The address of the house in Amityville is 1135 Ocean Ave. However, no house number on Ocean Ave, has four digits while the highest being in the 300s. [Americans uncommonly use real domestic addresses or telephone numbers in television or film dramas.]
Episode 406, Boo; The New York City Police Department would not investigate a murder in Amityville. It would either be investigated by Suffolk County Police, or a state police department. [They made a point of saying that all of the normal investigators where working at a plane crash site, that is why they asked them to work on the case.]
