Andy and Helen Get Married - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: A shot shows the interior of the church where Andy Taylor and Helen Crump will be wed. Shrubs and trees are visible outside the church entrance but they are obviously just a painted backdrop. As people enter the church, they cast shadows on the backdrop.
Revealing mistake: The painted backdrop depicting the street and distant buildings is much too close to the Mayberry City Council office. As people come and go, they cast shadows on the backdrop.
Emmett's 50th Birthday - S1-E11
Revealing mistake: As Millie Swanson exits Emmett's Fix-It Shop and passes by the window, she casts a shadow on the painted backdrop which depicts other buildings. The mailman then walks into the shop and he, too, casts a shadow on the backdrop.
Aunt Bee's Cruise: Part 1 - S1-E15
Revealing mistake: Aunt Bee is traveling on a cruise ship. The "water" in the background is a painted backdrop which is made all the more obvious by the painted whitecaps.
