The Children's Carol - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: When Pup and Tess are on the runway and John runs to save them, they huddle as the plane passes. After the plane passes, they stand up but you cannot see the airplane that supposedly just passed them. (01:29:35)

The Festival - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: When Verdi is sitting on Josh's bed, talking to him about being a man, the medium shot has her face tilted to the left. But in the immediately close-up, it's suddenly to the right as she finishes her comment.

The Anniversary - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: When the telephone rings Olivia walks over to answer it and the front door is open (we see the screen door), but when everyone rushes from the table and gathers around Olivia, the front door is now shut. (00:28:50)

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)

The Reunion - S1-E14

Ike: How's it feel to be a working man?
John-Boy: Ike, Mama would skin me alive! Everyone knows those two ladies make bootleg whiskey.
Ike: But they don't know what they're doing. They're just following their papa's Recipe.
John-Boy: But sometimes they sell it!
Ike: Yeah, but they're just like two little girls by a roadside selling lemonade.

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).
