Visible crew/equipment: When John-Boy tells Mr. Rudge that he'd like to know all about his deceased son, during this touching scene there are closeups as Mr. Rudge's hand strokes the vehicle that belonged to his son, and we can see the reflection of the boom pole and mic, at least two crew members, filming equipment, and another vehicle on the polished chrome surface.

The Waltons (1972)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake in The Car - chronological order
Starring: Eric Scott, Jon Walmsley, Judy Norton, Mary Beth McDonough
Visible crew/equipment: At the mill, when John tells Buck that Willie Brimmer might be at the Montgomery cabin with Jim-Bob, in the next closeup of John we see a billowy trail of cigarette smoke at the bottom right corner of the screen, but the only people standing there are Elizabeth, John, and Buck, and none are smoking. Presumably, it was someone offscreen smoking too close to the camera (similar to a mistake in 1978's "Halloween"). (00:26:05)
John Walton: I hate this draft job, Liv. I can't stand playing God to my neighbors' sons.
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).
