The Scholar - S1-E22

Visible crew/equipment: After Elizabeth tells her parents that she's sorry about her fib, when Olivia picks her up and carries her up the stairs, at the right side of the screen in the background we see lighting equipment and a hanging yellow cable, and in the foreground at the top right corner we see a bit of the barndoor set lighting.

An Easter Story - S1-E25

Visible crew/equipment: While Mary Ellen walks home with G.W. after the Sunday services they're alone, and when G.W. tells her, "People learn how to dance," right at the start of the next shot we can see the blue shirt of a crew member at the lower left side of the screen. (00:08:30)

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 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)
