The Recluse - S6-E3

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end, while John is working alone in the mill Ben shows up, and when Ben asks, "Need some help," a crew member is hiding behind the stack of drawers, toward the right side of the screen. It's not Zeb or Easy or any family member. (00:46:30)

The Children's Carol - S6-E11

Factual error: After Jason tells Olivia that he's giving up playing his music because he doesn't think he has a choice, when it cuts to the exterior shot of the rooming house, the vehicle parked in front is modern. The same type of thing happens later, when John rescues Pip from the airfield there are modern vehicles, etc, on the street in the background. (00:34:30 - 01:29:30)

Grandma Comes Home - S6-E22

The Return - S6-E20

Factual error: Right before the scene with John-Boy and Daisy at the restaurant, there's a shot of Times Square, and two of the marquees advertise the 1946 movie "The Jolson Story," and the 1946 movie "The Best Years of Our Lives," and also reads "Picture of the Year" which it won at the 1947 Academy Awards, but this episode takes place in 1940.

The Return - S6-E20

Factual error: The year is 1940, and in the opening shot (as the name Richard Thomas appears on the screen) we have a view of Lower Manhattan as seen from the East River below the Brooklyn Bridge, but the problem is some of the buildings we see did not exist in 1940, such as One Chase Manhattan Plaza, which did not begin construction until 1957.

The Return - S6-E20

Visible crew/equipment: With the family sitting around the table Olivia says grace, and just as she gets to the end of her prayer, the T-mark on the wood floor behind Erin is visible. This shot then dissolves into John-Boy sitting alone at the table, and as the camera turns toward the right more white tape marks are on the floor. (01:24:15)

The Empty Nest - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: After John meets with all the other mills he and Ben head home, and right before the closeup of Ben sleeping there's an exterior shot of the truck, with the front license plate number T-84905, but in other shots it's T6-807. (00:22:35)
