Continuity: "One Spring Like Long Ago": In the general store, Randy rests his arms on a partition, then takes them down and turns away. The following shot is mismatched: he's immediately leaning on the partition again, without enough time to return to that position.

Factual error: "The Return of Golden Tom": The Tedlers' kitchen is a 19th Century redress of a 20th Century set, but still includes a modern sink and faucet fixture where a water pump should be.

Character mistake: Season 4, Ep. 29, "Bald-faced Boy": Uncle Del forgets his nephew's name during the argument in the cabin. He calls Brett "Mike," which is neither the actor's name nor that of any of Del's other relatives.

Continuity: 6-1 "Legacy of Hate": Stacey places his hat on the wagon seat before confronting Lee Caulder's men on the street. When he picks the hat up again, it has moved several inches to the right.

Continuity: 4-26, "The Wolves Up Front, the Jackals Behind." Randy walks into the blacksmith's barn with a guitar strapped to his back. When he steps inside in the very next shot, the guitar has disappeared.

Visible crew/equipment: "The Return of Golden Tom": When a drunken Amos Coe staggers into the saloon, a large rectangular blocking mark is visible on the floor.

Continuity: 4-23, "Ride a Cock Horse to Laramie Cross": The dye job on young Clint Howard's hair is inconsistent from scene to scene. It's dark black at the start, but pales to a shade much closer to his natural blond color in many shots later on. His brown make-up (a laughable effort to make a blue-eyed Anglo kid look Hispanic) also varies, and disappears entirely in some of the covered wagon scenes.

Deadeye Dick (season 5, episode 9)

⇑
⇓

Character mistake: Bob's father's name is Harry Foley according to Granger and the end credits. But James Drury apparently forgot this in one scene, where the Virginian addresses Harry as "Tom."

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Trampas says, "You can bet no matter what happens, I will be blamed for it," as Sara Lane turns to ride away you can see a Chevy truck for about four seconds. The time left on the counter is between 29 and 28 minutes.

⇓

Plot hole: The circuit judge arrives on the stagecoach and complains that the railroad has no spur line to Medicine Bow. But the town has had a railroad connection and station all along: it's seen in nearly every episode, including the opening and closing scenes of this one.

Bitter Harvest (season 5, episode 25)

⇑
⇓

Character mistake: Set decorator failed English 101 here. The sign over the cemetery gate is misspelled "cemetary."

The Barren Ground (season 6, episode 12)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: In court, the lawyer berates Sarah for never having voted - an odd criticism, since the series is set in the late 1800s. Women in the U.S. weren't granted voting rights until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.
