Starring: Eric Scott, Jon Walmsley, Judy Norton, Mary Beth McDonough
Visible crew/equipment: After J.D. refuses to hire Mike even though he's right for the available job, in the following shots when Mike and John are on the porch, the chalk T-mark is visible on the floor beside the wheelchair. (00:34:25)
Visible crew/equipment: Before the USO audition, when Ike and Ben are with Corabeth near the pool table, in the shots facing Ike Godsey the shadow of the boom pole is moving on the wall, at the right side of the screen. (00:36:45)
Visible crew/equipment: At the mill, when John tells Buck that Willie Brimmer might be at the Montgomery cabin with Jim-Bob, in the next closeup of John we see a billowy trail of cigarette smoke at the bottom right corner of the screen, but the only people standing there are Elizabeth, John, and Buck, and none are smoking. Presumably, it was someone offscreen smoking too close to the camera (similar to a mistake in 1978's "Halloween"). (00:26:05)
John Walton: I hate this draft job, Liv. I can't stand playing God to my neighbors' sons.
The Journey - S2-E1
Trivia: While Maggie MacKenzie and John-Boy are at the Mermaid Restaurant, when they both dance together Maggie envisions her long deceased husband, Michael MacKenzie, dancing with her instead of John-Boy. It is Earl Hamner Jr. who portrays Michael MacKenzie in this uncredited onscreen cameo during the scene (note teeth and facial features are identical).
