The Man Who Saw the Alligators - S5-E17

Visible crew/equipment: At Adrianna's cabin Tony Boy confronts Rockford directly, and just as Rockford says, "Why don't you and I just talk," the tip of the moving microphone pokes up at the bottom of the screen. Then, when Tony Boy says, "Maybe take a look into the future, everybody grab a seat, let's go," the microphone moves around quite a bit more at the bottom of the screen. (00:37:10)

A Fast Count - S5-E11

Visible crew/equipment: While Rockford and Ruth are at Peppy's, when Rockford says, "Oh, good old right on, Ruth," in this shot and following shots facing Rockford at this angle, the shadow of the boom mic is visible on the wall paneling at the top, right side of the screen. (00:34:00)
