Mr. McBeevee - S3-E1
Visible crew/equipment: When Barney, Andy and Opie go outside to see Opie's "horse" the microphone and boom shadow are visible on the back door.
Suggested correction: Those shadows are not from a microphone and boom pole. The shadows are from the overhang's open eave with its long rafter tail. Watch the opening scene (00:00:30) showing the back of the house, with its overhang above the back door and laundry line beside the house. Those shadows are also visible in this long shot.
Character mistake: When Barney walks by the barbershop window he glanced in and waves at Andy who is getting a manicure. But the man in the chair isn't Andy, it's a stand in. (00:17:00)
Andy and the Woman Speeder - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When the woman speeder is seen, she is wearing sunglasses, which are gone in a later shot.
Deliberate mistake: Gomer leaves the woods after they were lost and doesn't have anything with them then when they get to the campsite he has the snare that they made.
Continuity mistake: In this episode, Ernest T writes Charlene a love letter. In a later episode when Ernest T goes back to school, it is revealed that he can neither read nor write.
Revealing mistake: The woman in the foreground, as the siren is stuck, is carrying a paper grocery sack from "Hollywood Ranch Market" which was located on Vine St and Fountain Ave in Hollywood, Los Angeles. (00:09:35)
Factual error: We know from 2 episodes prior (Man in a Hurry) and generally mentioned throughout the show, the only filling station in Mayberry is Wally's Filling Station. In this episode Mayor Stoner is accused of only putting the new underpass in Mayberry because it will be next to Mayor Stoner's brother's filling station.
Continuity mistake: The fuel pumps at Wally's gas station (regular and super) switch sides between numerous episodes.
A Black Day for Mayberry - S4-E7
Factual error: An armored truck is going to Fort Knox from Denver would never go through Mayberry. Fort Knox is in Western KY south of Louisville on I-65. NC is accessible mainly by going south down I-75 to Knoxville, then heading South East along I-40 towards Asheville, NC. To get to NC from Fort Knox you would need to go up to Lexington then Knoxville/or go east across the wky fka The Green River pkwy to I-75 then to Asheville. There is no easy route; why would they go through KY to NC and turn back to KY?
