The Waltons

The Violated - S8-E9

Visible crew/equipment: At the Thatcher farm, when Mary Ellen introduces her mother to Darcy the tip of the microphone is visible under Olivia's blouse, near the collar. Then when Darcy opens her door, that mic is visible again as Mary Ellen asks if she and Olivia could come in. (00:12:05)

The Violated - S8-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Corabeth makes the comment about customers listening to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B" in the store, Ike tells her she has to go along with the times, and in the exterior shot as Ike walks into his store the bulging outline of the mic transmitter is visible on his back, then it's gone once he's inside.

The Violated - S8-E9

Visible crew/equipment: After Son Slater makes threatening remarks to Olivia, when Olivia hands Erin the broom and rushes into the home, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible at the back of Erin's sweater, as she follows Olivia into the home. (00:35:30)

The Rumor - S6-E14

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)

The Reunion - S1-E14

Ike: How's it feel to be a working man?
John-Boy: Ike, Mama would skin me alive! Everyone knows those two ladies make bootleg whiskey.
Ike: But they don't know what they're doing. They're just following their papa's Recipe.
John-Boy: But sometimes they sell it!
Ike: Yeah, but they're just like two little girls by a roadside selling lemonade.

The Unthinkable - S8-E15

Trivia: While John is reading the newspaper funnies to John Curtis, we hear Erin and Mary Ellen come home, so John puts the folded newspaper down on the couch. And as the newspaper lies on the couch, we can see the large white adhesive label with typewritten sentences adhered to the center of the funnies page. Presumably, these are the actor's lines as he was reading quite animatedly to the toddler (sweet moment). (00:06:25)
