South by Southwest - S6-E17

Visible crew/equipment: During the exterior scenes in Arizona, with Sheriff Boyd, Gibbs, and Tony, in some shots either a hidden lavalier microphone or transmitter is visible.

Bounce - S6-E16

Visible crew/equipment: While Tony and Renny are alone in Interrogation, in the closeup Renny explains he and Grady were friends, and he just wanted to find out why Grady testified against him. In the next overhead wide shot, the camera pans a bit too far to the right, so we can see the incomplete set wall on the right side of the screen (wall with the monitor). (00:09:00)

Knockout - S6-E18

Agent Afloat - S6-E2

Trivia: Season 6, "Agent Afloat": Maybe real aircraft carriers posing as fictional ones shouldn't let viewers see their registration numbers. When this episode aired, producers heard from several "carrier purists" complaining that CVN74 is the U.S.S. John C. Stennis, not the (non-existent) Seahawk.
