Other mistake: When Erin leaves The House to go with Ashley Jr., Elizabeth states to the kid that it's 3 a.m. When Ashley stops The Car to propose to Erin moments later, it is sunrise between the trees or early daylight, meaning this was a moment shot in different increments.

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)
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 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.

Other mistake: Maryellen wears visible eyeliner throughout the show, despite being during the depression. She wouldn't be wearing any makeup.

Suggested correction: Why wouldn't she be wearing makeup during the depression? Especially if it was just a small amount. This isn't a mistake, just your opinion. Women continued to wear makeup during the depression, and not just starlets or the rich and famous. In fact, makeup sales overall hardly took a dip during the depression because women through the US were still buying it.
Despite that women did wear it during the Depression, part of the factor being that the Waltons wouldn't afford such a luxury, considering their very tight pockets. Otherwise, we'd see Olivia preening herself also, before she goes anywhere. But doesn't even wear lipstick. And Maryellen is never 'caught' actually putting on the eye makeup. So it's likely not any opinion.

Other mistake: When Uncle Cody hears the bad news on the radio about the banks remaining close, Olivia suddenly orders the children to clear the table when their plates are half full. Which wouldn't happen in a Depression with food being a precious commodity.

Other mistake: During close-ups of the kids, Maryellen is the only one of the girls wearing very visible eyeliner and mascara, that weren't apparent in earlier episodes.
