Any historical inaccuracies?

A Barack Obama speech plays on TV. Clearly inaccurate.

None. I didn't catch any. I look for that stuff too. Out of date packaging or obvious bar codes, car models especially in the distant backrounds. products that weren't invented yet, phrases that weren't in use yet. None. They did an awesome job with the street sets too. It had to be a combination of CGI and scale sets.

This show had a special place in my heart. Growing up in NYC in that time frame. I can't believe how well they nailed the look and feel of NY in the 1970's. I felt like I could almost smell it. The clothes, cars, the music and especially the attitude. The attitude comes naturally for Keitel and Imperioli. But in that setting, it was perfect. That classic, hard nosed Brooklyn accent of days past.

A couple of songs in it didn't come out until 1974, and a reference is made to "Death Wish," which also premiered in 1974. I'm not aware that there were Russian gangsters in New York as early as 1973, although it's certainly possible that a few guys got out and decided to try their hand at capitalism.

And there were a couple of episodes that referenced events taking place in summer 1973 but there was snow on the ground. Since the last episode was right after Nixon's "I am not a crook" press conference, which was on November 17, it makes it unlikely that there was any snow in New York at the times in question. If it were Minneapolis, or even Boston, maybe, but not New York.

But the snow thing is the only serious nitpick I have, continuity-wise. A baseball player named Glenn Burke claimed he invented the high five in 1977, so Vic Tyler not knowing what it was makes sense.

So far, I only watched the first episode, Out Here in the Fields, on Netflix.

There were 2 scenes of the World Trade Centers, one in daylight and one in nighttime. Both scenes showed one of the WTC towers with an antenna.

The antenna was not put up until 1978.

I sent this in as an anachronistic goof to IMDB yesterday.

Just watched episode 2. Here's another one:
In "The Real Adventures of the Unreal Sam Tyler," at about the 29:00 mark, while Sam is looking through the window in the precinct, Roma Torre on NY1 along with the NY1 logo can be seen. NY1 is a cable channel that did not launch until 1992.

In one episode (I think it was My Maharishi Is Bigger Than Your Maharishi) Ray tells one of the hippies on the street, "1968 called. It wants its .... back." (I don't remember what it wanted back. An article of clothing I think.) I was born in 1973 so I don't technically remember it, but that particular saying seems like a more recent thing.

The Bet Ray and Sam made on the Frazier/Ali Fight was in Jan 1974, but all through the episode they are Sam keeps saying 1973.

In episode 4 "Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadows" at approx. 37-38 minutes when Sam and Gene are outside and you have the wide shot with them in the foreground the bridge on the left and the cityscape in the background, you can clearly see the out of focus Verizon signage of the building in the background.
