Continuity mistake: When June enters the boys' bedroom at nearly 1:00 am, she turns on their light. In the closeup, she flips the light switch, which is already in the up position, and the light turns on, but in the next shot, the light switch is in the down position. Then, when June exits their bedroom, in the wide shot, the light switch is in the down position, but in the closeup, the switch is in the up position so she can flip it down (off). (00:06:35)
Leave It To Beaver (1957)
1 continuity mistake in The Garage Painters
Starring: Barbara Billingsley, Hugh Beaumont, Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow
Wally's Practical Joke - S6-E35
Visible crew/equipment: When Eddie Haskell comes over to scheme getting back at Lumpy, just as Eddie, Wally and Beaver are heading up the stairs, a mike boom is visible in the upper left corner.
June Cleaver: Dear, do you think all parents have this much trouble?
Ward Cleaver: No, just parents with children.
Captain Jack - S1-E3
Trivia: The episode "Captain Jack" was the first time a toilet was shown on TV; the boys buy a baby alligator and Wally is shown putting it in the toilet tank. The network censors were so spooked by the thought of showing a toilet on television that they delayed the episode. And when the censors finally relented, the compromise allowed only the toilet tank to be shown, not the bowl.
