Corrected entry: The head of the Virginia City Merchants' Association is officiating at a "Beautiful Baby" contest. At three different times, he tells the four-piece band behind him to "play some music." Each time, without any discussion of which song to play and without anyone counting "one-two-three," the four musicians immediately begin playing a tune, a different one each time.
Bonanza (1959)

Starring: Lorne Greene, Michael Landon, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker
Revealing mistake: Jack Albertson's character is taking pictures of The Cartwrights and ranch hands. The video camera moves across the front of the prop camera as Albertson pushes and holds the button to take a picture. The shutter on the camera never opens and isn't open until he releases the button. In those days the shutter had to stay open an elongated time to enable the light to infiltrate the negative. People had to stay still during this time.
Adam Cartwright: Let's go back to the Ponderosa, Pa. This isn't any of our affair.
Ben Cartwright: We can't ignore the rest of the world. We're the only stabilizing influence in the country.
Mrs. Wharton and the Lesser Breeds - S10-E17
Trivia: A portion of the background music used during an outdoor scene in the town of Vallejo was later used as the theme song for "Little House On The Prairie."
Question: How could one of the three have been in prison during the murder at the barbershop? Did he have a twin?

Correction: Bands practice quite a bit and know what songs they'll play and in what order, here they simply waited for their cue to play. My mom plays in a trio and during their performances, no one has to say "1-2-3", they just start playing (one person is assigned to start the piece and the others follow because they know when the first note will be played).
