Pilot

The episode contains two scenes with a hospital patient named Jimmy (played by Joseph O'Toole) who suffers from aphasia, which is a real condition where patients can't comprehend spoken language. Jimmy can detect if someone lies based upon physical behaviour, and finds it amusing when someone lies and laughs. Both scenes contain real footage to showcase that ability, both feature former US presidents. The first is George W. Bush, the clip used is when he states that Saddam Hussein possesses Uranium and therefore it justifies the invasion of Irak. The second clip features Bill Clinton and is shown without sound (as it's part of a montage), but he clearly says "I did not have sexual relations with that woman", referring to Monica Lewinsky. In both scenes, Jimmy laughs, indicating that he believes both of them lied.

At one point Dr. Pierce is shown watching what is supposed to be a Chicago Cubs spring training game on his TV. However, the game he is watching is actually being played in Wrigley Field in Chicago, with the ivy on the outfield wall in full bloom. He would have to be watching a game being played in the summertime during the regular season, in direct contradiction of the winter weather seen during the rest of the show.
