WHERE CREDITS ARE DUE WEST

Last year I ran a blog post that theoretically linked the season finale of 'Leverage' ("The San Lorenzo Job") to episodes of 'Mission: Impossible' and 'The Wild, Wild West'.

During my research I found this out at TV.com regarding the WWW episode "The Night Of The Lord Of Limbo":




Another example in which there is a discrepancy, but Toobworld Central always rules in favor of what is said or displayed in the actual show over what is shown in the end credits.

BURKE'S LAW

Ann Maxwell in credits
Ann Martin in show
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM
Dr. Salvin in credits
Dr. Slavin in show


WAREHOUSE 13
Joshua Wheeler in credits
Joshua Donovan in show
FOYLE'S WAR
Eric and Joe Cooper in credits
Eric and Joe Pierson in show
THE WILD, WILD WEST
Colonel Fairchild in the credits
Colonel Falk in the show

 MERLIN
Both Bradley James and Richard Wilson were listed as Arthur Pendragon in one episode. Richard Wilson played Gaius.
MAGNUM P.I.

Characters passed off as the true Lts. Columbo, Kojak, and Mike Stone were listed as look-alikes in the credits. O'Bviously that was for legal reasons. As far as Toobworld is concerned, they were the real deal.

Let me know if you ever find other examples of this.....

BCnU!
Although the agents refer to their superior in this episode as Colonel Falk, in the end credits he is listed as Col. Fairchild.

There is at least one example of this I've caught in a Fantasy Island episode. My wife and I are slowly going through the episodes, reviewing them and checking all credits onscreen against those at IMDB. We post the information at our website, and eventually hope to write a book on the series. Anyway, when we encounter these situations, I'll be happy to let you know! This lack of continuity is annoying...

When the cast of "Dark Shadows" reunited to make the film "House of Dark Shadows," Don Briscoe played a new character named Todd Blake instead of the Character Chris Jennings he played on the TV show. Despite being referred to as "Todd Blake" in the movie's dialog, he is credited as "Todd Jennings" at the end.
