An Easter Story - S1-E25

Revealing mistake: When John Boy goes out of the kitchen angrily, the view of the back is different than what it actually is. From the kitchen, there appears to be the mountain and trees, but when John Boy is outside leaving the kitchen, we know the barn is what we should see from the back door/window.

Deliberate mistake: In the opening of seasons 2 onwards, there is a photo of Olivia outside the Church with the family. This is a scene from Season 1 Easter Story. However, it had to be from an outtake because the position of Erin, the absence of Jason, is different than what is shown in the episode. It's just something I noticed when I identified from where the shot was taken.

An Easter Story - S1-E25

Factual error: When Olivia gets polio, she is at home. John is allowed to stay with her 24/7. It seems unlikely that the doctor, even if not taken to hospital, would allow John to stay in the room and risk contamination.

The Darlings Are Coming - S3-E25

Continuity mistake: When Briscoe gets into his truck, his hat is wet from dipping it (5x) in a horse trough. The camera cuts away to Andy and immediately back to Briscoe, whose hat is now dry. Also, "she's always hood for 11 hat fulls," yet Briscoe only puts 5 hats of water in his engine.

I'd Rather Twitch Than Fight - S3-E10

Stupidity: Like most dilemmas on the show, the controversy could have been resolved by witchcraft without Darrin knowing. Why didn't Samantha just twitch a duplicate tweed coat?

The Sound of Money - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Danny and Mr. K are sitting outside, you can see the shadow of a crew member on the door.

The Short, Happy Circuit of Aunt Clara - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: This episode features the disappearing piano that disappears in most episodes. Also, the wall where the piano is sometimes houses the bar, which is usually beside the stairs.

My Friend Ben - S3-E13

Trivia: This is perhaps the first episode where Fredd Wayne played Benjamin Franklin. This becomes his signature character. I think he played Franklin 6 other times.

Season 9 generally

Other mistake: The Walton boys are in the military. None of them have military haircuts.

Man's Best Friend - S2-E32

Continuity mistake: When Rodney is at the bottom of the stairs announcing phase 1 of operation breakup is a success, Samantha is at the top of the stairs. The camera edit is really bad and Samantha jumps forward about 3 feet.

Beaver and Poncho - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: June makes Ward go to school to talk to Mrs. Rayburn. She says Mrs. Rayburn was her teacher and still makes her nervous. In Beaver gets 'Spelled episode, June doesn't recognize the name of Mrs. Rayburn on the flowers. Ward says that the only Mrs. Rayburn he can think of is the principal at school.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In season 1 (1957), Beaver is in grade 2 and Wally is 13 and in grade 8. Tony Dow was born in April 1945 and Jerry Mathers in June 1948. This means that Beaver/Jerry would have been 9 and Wally/Tony Dow 12, with a 3-year age gap. In the last (6th) season, Wally is a senior which indicates that he must have failed a grade. Meanwhile, Beaver is in 8th grade. Interestingly, the actors were also 3 years apart in age. At age 12 in 1957, Wally should have been in 6th/7th grade, which is more consistent with him being a senior in season 6.

The Poker Game - S1-E8

Other mistake: When Steve wants his money back, Al asks how much was Steve bragging about earlier ($5) he could take and make a fortune, instead of giving Steve $5 it's a $20 bill.

Show generally

Visible crew/equipment: In 1987, when Robert knocks out Duke in Keystone SD hotel, when Sean is tying Duke up, at the end of the couch, above Duke's head, you can see the camera moving. In 1985, when Robin is angry with Robert, the camera boom is visible. In 1986, when Duke is in the hospital, the shadow of the camera man is visible on the left side of Duke's bed in many scenes.

Rebecca Venter

No More Mr. Nice Guy - S3-E28

Other mistake: In the opening scene, Endora disappears then reappears for Tabitha. If you watch closely, just before she reappears you can see the shadow of Agnes Morehead/Endora on the wall behind the couch quickly coming back to the couch for the camera cut to recapture her.
