The Ordeal - S6-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Erin is put in charge, Olivia tells everyone to pitch in without complaining, then just as John says, "All right, let's go," the shadow of the boom mic is visible as it moves across the cabinet near the top, right side of the screen. (00:29:00)

The Ordeal - S6-E19

Visible crew/equipment: After Zeb tells the story about the egg, Ben and Jim-Bob start fooling around with the pulley, and when it cuts to Elizabeth and Aimee talking about the jamboree sale, lighting equipment is visible by the trees at the top, right side of the screen. (00:03:45)

Grandma Comes Home - S6-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When John and Olivia join Zeb in the kitchen after he's been up all night reading Esther's journal, just as Zeb sits down at the table and explains why he read it, the shadow of the boom mic is moving at the right side of the screen. (00:41:40)

The Return - S6-E20

Visible crew/equipment: With the family sitting around the table Olivia says grace, and just as she gets to the end of her prayer, the T-mark on the wood floor behind Erin is visible. This shot then dissolves into John-Boy sitting alone at the table, and as the camera turns toward the right more white tape marks are on the floor. (01:24:15)

The Heartbreaker - S5-E21

Factual error: When Elizabeth asks Zeb how Vanessa can be happy, Zeb has his old catalog with a bunch of flower seed packets on his lap, and as they both hold up the packets, particularly Elizabeth, the modern Universal Product Codes are at the back of the packets. The UPC did not exist until many years later. (00:10:05)

The Outrage: Part 1 - S9-E1

Trivia: While everyone is at the table eating supper and talking, little John Curtis taps on John's shoulder, then John turns and asks "What?" John Curtis points to his pants and excitedly says, "I got new pants," and John says, "I see that. Who got you those? Your mommy?" Then John Curtis looks offscreen, away from the other actors on set, and replies, "No, from Pat," (no characters named Pat are on the show) and without missing a beat, John responds, "From Pat? Where does she live? On the next farm?" And John Curtis answers, "Yeah," amidst all the giggles we can hear, so John answers with a smirk, "Okay, good!" This is such a hilariously precious unscripted moment, and great they decided to leave it in the episode. (00:26:15)
