I don't know why this lie persists. There was no typo when this originally aired in 1993. My family recorded it on vhs and it says, "Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home." At some point later the spelling was changed to Becket and has been used like that for re-runs, streaming, and home releases. But when it aired in 1993, it was spelled correctly.
