The Silver Wings - S8-E11

Visible crew/equipment: When Serena reminds Rose about the luncheon she gets into Jim-Bob's car then they drive off, and before the shot cuts away we can see a bit of lighting equipment with its wheeled base, near the tree at the left side of the screen. (00:03:40)

The Silver Wings - S8-E11

Visible crew/equipment: When Jim-Bob delivers Betsy's mail she's washing her hair outside, and as she flips her wet hair back we can see the microphone under her halter top, while her arms are up. Then when she walks toward the cabin with Jim-Bob, the bulge of the mic transmitter is visible at the back of her shorts. (00:06:20)

The Silver Wings - S8-E11

Visible crew/equipment: After Ike and Corabeth tell Jim-Bob about the telegram they delivered to Betsy, when Jim-Bob drives over to Betsy's cabin in the woods he walks toward the front door, and crew members are visible at the left side of the screen. (00:42:00)

The Rumor - S6-E14

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 Unthinkable - S8-E15

Trivia: While John is reading the newspaper funnies to John Curtis, we hear Erin and Mary Ellen come home, so John puts the folded newspaper down on the couch. And as the newspaper lies on the couch, we can see the large white adhesive label with typewritten sentences adhered to the center of the funnies page. Presumably, these are the actor's lines as he was reading quite animatedly to the toddler (sweet moment). (00:06:25)
