Here are a few:

-Abraham Lincoln faces right on the penny while the other U.S presidents on their coins face left.

-The idea for the microwave came from a man whose chocolate melted as he passed a radiation tube.

-Nobody actually sings "Batman!" in the Batman (1960's) theme. What is thought of as cries are actually horns.

the voice on the radio in "ADAM-12" was a real Los Angeles police announcer.

The train on "PETTICOAT JUNCTION" only had 1 set of driver wheels (the big wheels). They would have to move them to whatever side faced the camera.
