I might get a nastygram from the moderators for pulling this thread so far off course, but I want to add to this sub-subtopic, the epitome of TV show prop wrongdoing was in an episode of The Big Valley (Western which took place in the 1800s)... In a scene where the guys were out on horseback trying to get a message to the telegraph office, you can see a DC-10 roaring across the horizon
... And then I also noticed a really shiny new Winegard CH-8200 color TV antenna ontop of a building in a Civil War docu-drama once...
