King Tut at the New York Public Library Blooper

Post by BiffPow »

I’m sure other members here have seen this blooper, but it was the first time I had. Season 3, episode 6: “The Unkindest Tut of All”: King Tut is supposed to rob the ancient Egyptian scrolls at the Gotham Public library, but the stock photograph of the exterior of the library clearly says “New York Public Library.”

Similarly, when Egghead visited this Gotham City Museum, with signage for the "Los Angeles County Historical and Art Museum":

Yes. Good one. Saw that just today! Oh well, I’m sure budget cuts in the third season may have contributed to it. Plus, back in the 1960s, the screens were so much smaller and resolution comparatively so low (and the cuts fairly quick) that most people likely would not have noticed them.
