The Hot Rod - S9-E12
Revealing mistake: When John-Boy, Mary Ellen, and Verdie are bringing Jody home from the hospital, during the drive in the two shots facing the front of the vehicle, the edge of the rear projection screen is visible at the left side of the screen. (00:45:25)
The Hot Rod - S9-E12
Continuity mistake: While Miss Mamie is trapped, when Ike and Miss Emily find the special wall panel to control the door, the hidden door opens and the top of the door is plain with no molding, but when Ike leads the Baldwin sisters into the room, in the shot from within the room there is molding across the top of that door. (00:14:20 - 00:16:25)
Visible crew/equipment: When Toni is setting the table Mary Ellen walks over to give her a hand, and the white tape mark is visible on the floor where Mary Ellen stands. It's most noticeable just as Jim-Bob lifts his leg over the bench, when he sits at the table. (00:13:50)
The Pearls - S9-E15
Visible crew/equipment: After Elizabeth informs Ike that Corabeth's sister, Orma Lee, is resting in the back room it cuts to the Walton family having dinner, and as Jason tells the others they should all stay out of it, the shadow of the boom mic is moving about on the white door. (00:09:55)
Continuity mistake: After Rose tells the Baldwin sisters that she needs "time to catch up," when it cuts to Stanley and Rose driving up to the home, in the wide shot the windshield wipers are pointed to the right, but in the closeup they're pointed to the left, then back to the right again. (00:18:55)
Visible crew/equipment: After Stanley drives Rose home, when she tells him that she does not want to marry him Rose gets out of the vehicle, and as the camera tracks closer, the reflection of the camera operator is visible in the small window beside Stanley. (00:20:15)
Visible crew/equipment: After Cindy brushes Virginia's hair it cuts to Mary Ellen and Erin serving Rose, and in the background we can see the green tape mark on the floor near Elizabeth, then when Elizabeth walks toward the table the yellow T-mark is also visible on the floor behind Ben. (00:37:55)
Continuity mistake: When Ike gives Corabeth the Geiger headset, in the wide shot she places it up to her head with the wire at her left ear, but in the next shot the wire is at her right ear. (00:27:50)
Revealing mistake: While Erin and Paul are driving to his home, when Paul tells Erin that he lives about half an hour up the road, from this moment until the end of this scene we can see the edge of the rear projection screen, at the left side of the screen. (00:31:50)
Visible crew/equipment: After John-Boy says goodbye to his family then walks up the road it cuts to Belle in her office, and when she says that Mr. Fairfield is a man after her own heart, the shadow of the boom mic is moving on the wall at the upper right corner of the screen. (00:03:40)
Audio problem: Very audible slight 'echo' when Erin is talking with Mary Ellen in her bedroom about putting things off.
Factual error: After the shot of Erin and Paul driving to his home, which is about half an hour up the road, when it cuts to the exterior shot of the Assayer's office building, all the vehicles parked outside are from decades later. (00:32:10)
Other mistake: The Walton boys are in the military. None of them have military haircuts.
Other mistake: When Elizabeth's horse takes the bad fall, Maryellen tells them it has a broken hoof. So they put the horse down instead of taking it to a nearby vet for help.
Suggested correction: This episode takes place in 1945. We see Mary Ellen look toward the mare's front (not hind) legs/joints, which are weight bearing; and when Mary Ellen tells Elizabeth about her mare, Molly, Mary Ellen's actual words are, "Elizabeth, it's her leg. It's broken. It's bad. We're gonna have to put her out of her misery." Viewers are not shown what Molly's "bad" break is, but with Mary Ellen's words, we know the break is severe, which was a death sentence for any horse. Just to add, it all completely depends on the location of the equine injury and the severity of the break/fracture. Nowadays, with modern advancements in equine veterinary care, (thankfully!) some severe breaks may not be a death sentence for a horse.
