Chester's Indian - S7-E32

Visible crew/equipment: When Chester and Cassie are in The Cabin, Chester is looking through the picnic basket while Callie holds on the Indian's hand and talks to him. In the scene behind Callie is an unidentified "cowboy" who appears twice and then disappears when the scene cuts to Chester the 2nd time. (00:47:00)

Where'd They Go - S5-E27

Continuity mistake: When Matt and Chester get up in the morning, Chester is in a chair with a blanket covering him up to his chin. Camera shot changes to Matt's point of view and Chester has no blanket as he speaks. Camera shot changes back to the prior viewpoint and the blanket has reappeared. (00:21:40)

Sarah - S18-E6

Continuity mistake: Marshall Dillon buries an outlaw at Sarah's place. He installs a wood cross at the grave. Sarah comes out and they talk. When she leaves, the scene cuts back to Dillon and the cross is missing.
