The Waltons

The Empty Nest - S7-E1

Revealing mistake: During the drive up the mountain for Zeb's birthday, while John and Olivia talk about the co-op offer, the edge of the rear-projection screen is visible over the vehicle's roof, at the left side of the screen. (01:26:15)

The Calling - S7-E2

Revealing mistake: While Mary Frances and Jim-Bob are flying the Cody kite with Sister Scolastica there's an overhead shot from behind the kite, and the lower string goes off toward the right even though the teens are to the left, and the kite is also being held up by a wire at the top which leads off screen.

Mistakes

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)

Trivia

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)
