Visible crew/equipment: Early in the morning, after Ward and Wally go downstairs to check the trap June walks out of the bedroom (a funny June moment), and when Beaver rushes out carrying the baseball bat, the moving boom mic casts a shadow in the top left corner of the screen. (00:04:20)

Wally's Practical Joke - S6-E35
Visible crew/equipment: When Eddie Haskell comes over to scheme getting back at Lumpy, just as Eddie, Wally and Beaver are heading up the stairs, a mike boom is visible in the upper left corner.
Eddie Haskell: Look Sam, if you can make the other guy feel like a goon first, then you don't feel like so much of a goon.
Wally Cleaver: I don't get that.
Eddie Haskell: Of course you don't. That's because you never went to kindergarten with a home permanent.
Captain Jack - S1-E3
Trivia: The episode "Captain Jack" was the first time a toilet was shown on TV; the boys buy a baby alligator and Wally is shown putting it in the toilet tank. The network censors were so spooked by the thought of showing a toilet on television that they delayed the episode. And when the censors finally relented, the compromise allowed only the toilet tank to be shown, not the bowl.
