yes, it is common for TV shows to mix up the king and queen in starting position, they also have board sideways. I saw both in mini documentary about what chess is.
You might be a chess player if....You scrutinize positions on any chess board shown on TV or in films.
Yes I do!

On a plane I once saw this movie about chess that was about some female South African chess player. One time a scene went to a position she was playing for less than a second and I immediately said "whoah, that's not good. White has a smothered mate in five." I guess that kind of ruined the next 30 seconds for me where you were supposed to be impressed and surprised by the protagonist's queen sacrifice.
The climax of the movie was really weird and made no sense. The audience cheered after she promoted a pawn in a position where she was already up two rooks and her opponent's king was in the middle of the board about to get checkmated. It was almost like an "it's time to resign" pawn promotion rather than a "now I win" promotion but everyone was hold their breath wondering who was winning.
I wonder what the title was?
Ttue!
