Day of Infamy - S7-E10

Visible crew/equipment: After the shots of Olivia and John singing in the truck, when Mary Ellen wishes her parents were home, in the tracking shot as the camera moves past the vehicle, we can see reflections of equipment and the camera operator wearing a hat. Also, the T-mark (plastic type) is visible on the ground where Mary Ellen stops, before she sees Verdie. (00:14:50)

The Outrage: Part 1 - S9-E1

Trivia: While everyone is at the table eating supper and talking, little John Curtis taps on John's shoulder, then John turns and asks "What?" John Curtis points to his pants and excitedly says, "I got new pants," and John says, "I see that. Who got you those? Your mommy?" Then John Curtis looks offscreen, away from the other actors on set, and replies, "No, from Pat," (no characters named Pat are on the show) and without missing a beat, John responds, "From Pat? Where does she live? On the next farm?" And John Curtis answers, "Yeah," amidst all the giggles we can hear, so John answers with a smirk, "Okay, good!" This is such a hilariously precious unscripted moment, and great they decided to leave it in the episode. (00:26:15)
