OOPS!
SERIES: Deadwood
SETUP: Sol Star (John Hawkes) tells town sheriff Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant), “Your fly is down.”
GOOF: Deadwood is set in 1876. The modern zipper didn’t exist yet—it wasn’t perfected until 1913. Star should have told Bullock his fly was “open.”
A plasma TV uses about twice as much energy as an LCD set of the same size.

YOU’RE MY INSPIRATION
Phoebe Buffay (Friends)
When Friends began in 1994, Lisa Kudrow found it difficult to portray her flighty, hippie-ish character—she’s nothing like that in real life. But costar Jennifer Aniston is. Said Kudrow, “Jennifer introduced me to books that gave me an insight into that spiritual world.” So Kudrow read the books … and studied Aniston.
That’s a bunch: 464 children auditioned for the six kids’ roles on The Brady Bunch.
