The Rifleman

The Shattered Idol - S4-E10

Revealing mistake: Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) spends a night in North Fork while the wheel of a stagecoach he is riding in is being repaired. Clemens is fishing at a lake and Mark McCain says, "You've caught a fish " Clemens tells the boy to reel in the fish. The boy jerks the rod and pulls the fish out of the water. The fish is obviously a fake which a stagehand had attached to the hook. The fish is motionless and is not even wet.

The Prisoner - S3-E25

Revealing mistake: Two former Civil War officers prepare to make camp in a sandy area surrounded by large rock formations. It is obvious that they are on an indoor set. As one man takes a few steps, the sound of his boots hitting the wooden platform beneath the sand can be heard.

The Prodigal - S2-E31

Continuity mistake: During most of the show Billy is wearing a shirt and vest. When he starts to go outside to face his ex partner it shows him wearing the vest. When he stands up to go outside he has coat on. When he gets outside he's back in the vest.
