Uncle Billy's Visit - S6-E26

Trivia: William Woodson, who plays the movie theater manager, is a retired voice artist. His voice can be heard narrating during the opening credits of the Odd Couple TV series; he's also done voices for Superfriends and WKRP in Cincinnati.

Beaver, the Caddie - S6-E21

Visible crew/equipment: As Beaver, Gilbert and the golfers walk toward the camera and continue offscreen at the end of the episode, the shadow of a man wearing glasses falls on them (none of the actors were wearing glasses). (00:23:25)

Jeff Swanson

Season 5 generally

Other mistake: The opening credits for season 5 show June coming out of the front door with a pitcher of what looks like iced tea, and calling for Ward, Wally and Beaver who are all working outside. But the door opens by itself as she comes out, and then closes by itself behind her. If the entire family is outside, who opened and closed the door?

The School Picture - S4-E30

Continuity mistake: When Beaver makes a face for The School Picture, he sticks his tongue out. But when Mrs. Rayburn and Miss Landers are looking at the picture sometime later, Beaver isn't sticking his tongue out. (00:13:00)

Jeff Swanson

The Dramatic Club - S4-E24

Continuity mistake: When June is talking to Wally, she's wearing a wristwatch and her wedding ring on her left hand. But in a close-up shot of her hands while she's making a sandwich, her left hand is bare with no watch or ring. Back to the wide shot, and the watch and ring are on her hand again. (00:05:25)

Beaver's Dance - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: There are a couple of continuity errors in the dance scene: First, the 4 girls sitting across from the boys switch positions from one shot to the next, then the last girl (long dark hair) disappears from the row of girls entirely, only to show up on the dance floor later in the scene. She was across from (and should have been paired up with) Beaver; instead, the teacher nods toward a now-empty chair and remarks that they "ran out of girls". (00:08:00)

Beaver's Tree - S3-E8

Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of the boom mike is visible in the background when Wally is saying that June looks "ritzy". (00:14:45)

Jeff Swanson

Beaver's Hero - S2-E28

Continuity mistake: When Beaver and Wally are examining Ward's old trunk, two of the pictures of June taped to the inside of the lid go from being a couple of inches apart to right next to each other to apart again. (00:07:05)

Jeff Swanson

Her Idol - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Linda is up in the tree talking with Beaver, her hair braids keep changing position; sometimes they're over her shoulders and sometimes not. (00:05:00)

Jeff Swanson

Tenting Tonight - S1-E30

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ward is waiting for the boys outside the movie theater, several kids are seen walking out of the theater more than once. A brunette girl in a plaid dress is seen walking out at least six times. (00:02:00)

My Brother's Girl - S1-E28

Trivia: The sign painted on the model train set reads "J.C. & B.M. R.R.", a reference to producers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher. (00:13:30)

Jeff Swanson

Wally's Girl Trouble - S1-E10

Trivia: Toward the end of the episode, Penny calls Wally and they start to fight over the phone. We hear speeded-up "chipmunk" dialogue to simulate Penny's side of the conversation. The dialogue is actually bits and pieces of Penny's lines from earlier in the episode - complete with the laugh track.

Wally's Girl Trouble - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Beaver goes to Penny's front door, the door changes in appearance from one shot to the next. (00:23:05)

Jeff Swanson

The Clubhouse - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Beaver walks over to the window to look outside, the window is fogged up due to a rainstorm. But when he gets there, the pane of glass he looks through is clear - without his having had time to wipe it off. (00:03:05)

Jeff Swanson

New Neighbors - S1-E6

Trivia: Phyllis Coates, who plays the new neighbor Mrs. Donaldson, played Lois Lane in the first season of the Superman TV series in the 1950s.

Jeff Swanson

Captain Jack - S1-E3

Trivia: The episode "Captain Jack" was the first time a toilet was shown on TV; the boys buy a baby alligator and Wally is shown putting it in the toilet tank. The network censors were so spooked by the thought of showing a toilet on television that they delayed the episode. And when the censors finally relented, the compromise allowed only the toilet tank to be shown, not the bowl.

Jeff Swanson

Beaver's Pigeons - S2-E20

Visible crew/equipment: As Ward and June are discussing the pigeons, the camera moves in for a close-up - and its shadow becomes visible on the left sleeve of June's dress. (00:11:40)
