The Waltons

The Reunion - S1-E14

Audio problem: When John grabs Olivia from the kitchen sink to rejoin the family (over the washing machine snip) the children's laughter sounds more like a canned echo, or studio audience response.

The Gypsies - S1-E20

Audio problem: When John-Boy and Jason get to Godsey's and tell Ike about the break-in at the Baldwin place, Ike tells Matt that he should let Sheriff Bridges handle it, and in the next shot part of Matt's and Jason's dialogue is out of sync. (00:19:45)

The Unthinkable - S8-E15

Audio problem: While Ted and Jason are slopping pigs at the pen, Ted asks, "They really eat this garbage?" then as Ted pours the bucket contents we hear Ted exclaim, "They really eat this garbage!" but his mouth appears to say, "They really eat this crap!" (00:18:35)

The Inferno - S5-E20

Audio problem: While Johnboy and the press guy park, the Hindenburg is hovering over the aircraft field, while audible voices cheer alongside clapping and shouts. Yet, there is no visible crowd, but a small scattering of Naval comrades on the field. (00:17:23)

The Air Mail Man - S2-E13

Audio problem: When Todd Cooper says "Good job" to Job-Bob while examining Jim-Bobs wooden plane int he boys' bedroom, it makes a very distinct echo that lingers for almost 30-sec, and then repeats very faintly in the next shot. (00:03:20)

The Heartbreaker - S5-E21

Factual error: When Elizabeth asks Zeb how Vanessa can be happy, Zeb has his old catalog with a bunch of flower seed packets on his lap, and as they both hold up the packets, particularly Elizabeth, the modern Universal Product Codes are at the back of the packets. The UPC did not exist until many years later. (00:10:05)

The Journey - S2-E1

Trivia: While Maggie MacKenzie and John-Boy are at the Mermaid Restaurant, when they both dance together Maggie envisions her long deceased husband, Michael MacKenzie, dancing with her instead of John-Boy. It is Earl Hamner Jr. who portrays Michael MacKenzie in this uncredited onscreen cameo during the scene (note teeth and facial features are identical).
