Goofs[]

  • As everyone was looking for some negatives of photographs taken in 1963, Private Investigator Charlie Garrett (Wayne Rogers) stated that he received them back then bearing a postmark of November 25, 1963. That was the day of John F Kennedy's funeral in which then President Johnson proclaimed across the country, schools, businesses, and government offices closed in observance of the day of mourning. This included the post office which could not have produced a cancellation for that date.
  • This episode is unique in that justice is not served: The mobsters who had Oswald kill Kennedy are clearly middlemen for someone else, and they are themselves killed before they can say who that person or persons is. The Kennedy assassination remains unsolved. However, it has been proven that Oswald did not act alone, so perhaps the public scandal could lead to a new official investigation in which the masterminds behind the JFK assassination are finally brought to justice. So justice is not necessarily off the table. Then this: the fictional characters in this episode wasn't even an inkling back in 1963, given that MSW was brought forward to be seen 22 years later, would hardly have the fictional characters from this episode to be in photos before this series as given the go-ahead, now would it?
