Into That Good Night: Part 2 - S9-E24
Visible crew/equipment: When Bev hears "movement" on the baby monitor everyone rushes toward Roseanne on the stairs, and just as Roseanne comments that they're all "scary enough individually," we can see the second camera appear at the left side of the screen.

Revealing mistake: After Wonder Woman saves Tommy from the falling ladder, when she uses her golden lasso to descend with Tommy (just a doll) we see her lasso (actually a thin rope) and its shadowy reflection on the windows, but we can also see the glistening of the stunt woman's safety cable as well.
