* WritersCannotDoMath: [[spoiler:Bobby dies in what looks very much like TheFifties and has a teenage son in TheEighties, which is mathematically impossible. In an apparent attempt to mitigate this problem, an onscreen title declares that the opening scene actually takes place in the early '60s, which is as late as it can be pushed before all the '50s fashions and whatnot become ridiculously outdated. And even that still leaves a gap of three or four years between Bobby's death and Lenny's conception. Really, the opening should be set in the ''late'' '60s, but of course, it can't because then it wouldn't be plausible for Bobby to be a greaser.]]
