Corrected entry: Prof. "Goat" belittles Jonboy in front of the other two for wrestling with the Sophmores when it was crystal clear who started the kerfuffle.
The Waltons (1972)
1 corrected entry in season 3
Starring: Eric Scott, Jon Walmsley, Judy Norton, Mary Beth McDonough
Visible crew/equipment: While the family starts packing up their car with John's suitcases and boxes, right after John says, "I just don't want any kind of a big scene," a cluster of boom mics dip into view and stays there at the top of the screen, over Mary Ellen and Jason. Then in the closeup, as John agrees that they will all go see Olivia, a crew member wearing a blue shirt (with a front pocket) is visible in the vehicle's window reflection. (00:44:40)
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 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).
Correction: The kerfuffle on the bridge is between sophomores and freshmen, at Boatwright University. Professor Ghote, the Chairman of the English Dept, notices Walton and says, "Walton, it occurs to me that I'd like a word with you." Next, in front of the 2 freshmen friends of Walton, Ghote wryly tells John-Boy, "Don't you think you've caused enough damage for your first day? Why don't you go home now?" Then John-Boy and his 2 freshmen friends all walk off, happily smiling. Professor Ghote didn't behave unprofessionally, and he did not embarrass, belittle, or bully John-Boy. At this point in the day, John-Boy has racked up a bit of "damage" with Ghote, personally. First, he parked in a faculty spot; second, he bumped into Ghote causing the Professor to drop and scatter his papers which had been alphabetized; third, he was asked to bring the billy goat to an office which belonged to Professor William Ghote. This is not a "character mistake" or any other type of mistake.
Super Grover ★
John-Boy had already apologized to Ghote about the parking incident and Ghote chastised both the Sophs and the Frosh for the goat prank. But with the bridge kerfuffle, Ghote is an adult professional who should have known the difference regarding the antagonism, and chose to react otherwise by embarrassing John-Boy instead of applying damage control with the Soph bullies, which was both unethical and undoing. Something even Ms. Hunter would shut down appropriately.
