Leave It To Beaver

Beaver Makes a Loan - S3-E11

Visible crew/equipment: Beaver is pretending to have a football game with himself. You can see the boom mic shadow to the left of him and it continues all the way to when Wally and Beaver go sit on the bench. (00:10:45 - 00:11:11)

Eddie, the Businessman - S6-E6

Visible crew/equipment: June and Ward are in the kitchen, Eddie leaves and Ward and June continue talking about Eddie and Wally getting hired at the dairy. The next scene shows the exterior of the house, and a dark figure is seen walking from the house toward the garage on the left side of the screen.

Season 5 generally

Other mistake: The opening credits for season 5 show June coming out of the front door with a pitcher of what looks like iced tea, and calling for Ward, Wally and Beaver who are all working outside. But the door opens by itself as she comes out, and then closes by itself behind her. If the entire family is outside, who opened and closed the door?

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.
