A Bad Deal in the Valley - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: When Rockford goes to see his friend the preacher to ask about a new fence in town, the wood box that the preacher opens has the word "donation" on it, with the bottom of the letters facing the hinged side of the box. In the box's closeup some changes include: the wood top is now different and the word "donation" faces the opposite way, with the top of the letters facing the hinged side. (00:38:40)

A Bad Deal in the Valley - S2-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When Rockford and Karen drive up to the house where Lederer has been hiding, Rockford stops the car and explains that he doesn't want to spook him. During this brief stop, note there is something at the roof of Rockford's car along with the reflection of equipment, and in the two shots of Frick and Frack's car a crew member's reflection (looks like their hand) is visible on the window's chrome trim, on the right side of the screen.

Jim Rockford: Hey, I'm sorry Dad, you just caught me at a bad time. Reading that detective fiction doesn't help. I mean things aren't like that you know? They're not black and white. They're aren't any heroes left, they die young. (pointing to a book cover) His gun is deadly? Mine's in a cookie jar.
