Continuity mistake: When Verdi is sitting on Josh's bed, talking to him about being a man, the medium shot has her face tilted to the left. But in the immediately close-up, it's suddenly to the right as she finishes her comment.

The Seashore - S6-E5

The Waltons (1972)
The Inferno - S5-E20
Audio problem: When the Hindenburg explodes, audible screaming and panic of ladies' voices are heard in the foreground, but no crowd is present on the airfield except for the Naval aircraft workers.
20th Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
The Inferno - S5-E20
Audio problem: While Johnboy and the press guy park, the Hindenburg is hovering over the aircraft field, while audible voices cheer alongside clapping and shouts. Yet, there is no visible crowd, but a small scattering of Naval comrades on the field. (00:17:23)
3rd Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Continuity mistake: Elizabeth's hair length doesn't match while on The Ferris Wheel. The shot from the ground is very long hair 'draped' over the back of the seat. Yet, in the following close shot of her, it is from the chest up, so only the very bottom strands would be visible over the edge.
2nd Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Continuity mistake: Or revealing mistake: Olivia's hair is suddenly long and braided in its "normal" length after her disastrous perm in the last episode 'The Rebellion'.
1st Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Revealing mistake: Her scalp 'shifts' slightly when Olivia fusses with her curly 'do, indicating it's an obvious wig.
23rd Nov 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: John yells at the kids, "All right, everyone go to sleep now. It's getting late," when it's still daylight outside, possibly just after dinner time.

The Waltons (1972)
The Secret - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: The view outside Johnboy's bedroom window is a tree within feet when no such tree exists in prior episodes. In fact, all the bedroom windows face the driveway.
9th Oct 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Audio problem: A very audible echo is heard when Jon-boy says "I'm trying to work up there".
5th Oct 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Revealing mistake: The wall in Jon-boy's room 'jiggles' a bit as Erin is confiding in Jon-boy about Maryellen, indicating it's either a set piece or an office partition instead of an exterior wall.
23rd Sep 2023
The Waltons (1972)
The Fighter - S4-E3
Revealing mistake: The Woman spectator at the boxing match is wearing an obvious 1970s fashionable floppy sun hat and dress, instead of an appropriate 1930s style.
19th May 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: During almost any random episode of the family hanging out on the porch after dark, the moonlight is unusually bright, indicating obvious studio lights in their faces, or plug-in lamps on extension cords for actual light attached to the porch ceiling or whatnot.

The Waltons (1972)
The Spoilers - S3-E8
Other mistake: During the somewhat pointed discussion with the Hanover family at dinner, Olivia suddenly has the girls help clear the table when all their plates are still full, which wouldn't happen during a depression with money so tight.
20th Jan 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Revealing mistake: Throughout most of the episode, The Car is a standard black with chrome trimming. But at the end it's suddenly beige when Johnboy and the kids are polishing it for their first ride.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: At the end it's not "suddenly beige." Mid-episode Mary Ellen mentions a family project to, "Design you a new-looking car" and Erin adds, "We can paint it." Soon John-Boy says, "I'd like to paint it a nice dignified shade of tan." In the penultimate scene John-Boy drives Hyder and Martha Rudge back home. Time passes offscreen. It cuts to the final scene with Mary Ellen and Erin placing their new cut/sewn seat covers in the newly painted tan car, and nobody is "polishing it for their first ride."

The Waltons (1972)
Audio problem: When Todd Cooper says "Good job" to Job-Bob while examining Jim-Bobs wooden plane int he boys' bedroom, it makes a very distinct echo that lingers for almost 30-sec, and then repeats very faintly in the next shot. (00:03:20)
19th Oct 2022
The Waltons (1972)
Continuity mistake: Esther's wedding band is missing from her finger while she's sweeping and talking to Maryellen on the stairwell. But seconds later when she heads outside it's suddenly back on.
16th Oct 2022
The Waltons (1972)
Factual error: Considering it is the Depression, it is highly unlikely that the family would have any electricity in The House. With maybe the exception of a lamp or two, as rural folk typically didn't have such accommodations in 1930. Yet every room has some form of fancy lighting display.
9th Oct 2022
The Waltons (1972)
Factual error: The Woman talking with Mamie and Emily about the jams is wearing 1970s large framed glasses. (00:33:15)
