Visible crew/equipment: When Mamie and Emily are dancing together near the end, stepping around the balloons on the floor, a few get deliberately 'tossed' up behind Mamie's shoulder by an obvious cameraman off-screen.

The Waltons (1972)
Audio problem: Very audible slight 'echo' when Erin is talking with Mary Ellen in her bedroom about putting things off.
18th Jul 2024
The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: When Erin leaves The House to go with Ashley Jr., Elizabeth states to the kid that it's 3 a.m. When Ashley stops The Car to propose to Erin moments later, it is sunrise between the trees or early daylight, meaning this was a moment shot in different increments.

The Waltons (1972)
The Pin-Up - S7-E17
Stupidity: After Erin leaves with the military captain to Camp Lee, John and Maryellen turn around to see John Curtiss nowhere around on the porch where Maryellen left him. So John goes off to look for him, while Maryellen goes in to check The House. John Curtiss is a one-year-old baby who couldn't open a door.

The Waltons (1972)
The Starlet - S8-E6
Visible crew/equipment: Shadows from booms and camera corners are quite visible in several shots around Erin's office and the plant exterior as the "film crew" is shooting.
27th May 2024
The Waltons (1972)
Character mistake: When Rev. Andy visits Elizabeth at the bridge to talk, the buttons of his shirt are too far down, revealing his chest hairs, which would be most inappropriate for a minister.
14th Mar 2024
The Waltons (1972)
Continuity mistake: When Verdi is sitting on Josh's bed, talking to him about being a man, the medium shot has her face tilted to the left. But in the immediately close-up, it's suddenly to the right as she finishes her comment.
15th Feb 2024
The Waltons (1972)
Visible crew/equipment: Camera lights are visible in the reflection of Maude's glasses in several scenes.
5th Feb 2024
The Waltons (1972)
The Seashore - S6-E5
Continuity mistake: Maryellen's pregnancy changes during the episode from her natural woman figure to a slight baby bump to a 9-month belly near the end.
20th Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
The Inferno - S5-E20
Audio problem: When the Hindenburg explodes, audible screaming and panic of ladies' voices are heard in the foreground, but no crowd is present on the airfield except for the Naval aircraft workers.
20th Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
The Inferno - S5-E20
Audio problem: While Johnboy and the press guy park, the Hindenburg is hovering over the aircraft field, while audible voices cheer alongside clapping and shouts. Yet, there is no visible crowd, but a small scattering of Naval comrades on the field. (00:17:23)
3rd Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Continuity mistake: Elizabeth's hair length doesn't match while on The Ferris Wheel. The shot from the ground is very long hair 'draped' over the back of the seat. Yet, in the following close shot of her, it is from the chest up, so only the very bottom strands would be visible over the edge.
2nd Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Continuity mistake: Or revealing mistake: Olivia's hair is suddenly long and braided in its "normal" length after her disastrous perm in the last episode 'The Rebellion'.
1st Dec 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Revealing mistake: Her scalp 'shifts' slightly when Olivia fusses with her curly 'do, indicating it's an obvious wig.
23rd Nov 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: John yells at the kids, "All right, everyone go to sleep now. It's getting late," when it's still daylight outside, possibly just after dinner time.
12th Oct 2023
The Waltons (1972)
The Secret - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: The view outside Johnboy's bedroom window is a tree within feet when no such tree exists in prior episodes. In fact, all the bedroom windows face the driveway.
9th Oct 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Audio problem: A very audible echo is heard when Jon-boy says "I'm trying to work up there".
5th Oct 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Revealing mistake: The wall in Jon-boy's room 'jiggles' a bit as Erin is confiding in Jon-boy about Maryellen, indicating it's either a set piece or an office partition instead of an exterior wall.
23rd Sep 2023
The Waltons (1972)
The Fighter - S4-E3
Revealing mistake: The Woman spectator at the boxing match is wearing an obvious 1970s fashionable floppy sun hat and dress, instead of an appropriate 1930s style.
19th May 2023
The Waltons (1972)
Other mistake: During almost any random episode of the family hanging out on the porch after dark, the moonlight is unusually bright, indicating obvious studio lights in their faces, or plug-in lamps on extension cords for actual light attached to the porch ceiling or whatnot.
