Factual error: Considering it is the Depression, it is highly unlikely that the family would have any electricity in The House. With maybe the exception of a lamp or two, as rural folk typically didn't have such accommodations in 1930. Yet every room has some form of fancy lighting display.
The Waltons (1972)
1 factual error in show generally - chronological order
Starring: Eric Scott, Jon Walmsley, Judy Norton, Mary Beth McDonough
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)
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).
