The Virginian

Ride a Cock-Horse to Laramie Cross - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: The dye job on young Clint Howard's hair is inconsistent from scene to scene. It's dark black at the start, but pales to a shade much closer to his natural blond color in many shots later on. His brown make-up (a laughable effort to make a blue-eyed Anglo kid look Hispanic) also varies, and disappears entirely in some of the covered wagon scenes.

One Spring Like Long Ago - S4-E24

Continuity mistake: In the general store, Randy rests his arms on a partition, then takes them down and turns away. The following shot is mismatched: he's immediately leaning on the partition again, without enough time to return to that position.

Hannah - S9-E13

Continuity mistake: The red draperies framing Hannah's train-window flashback do not even vaguely resemble the drapes seen on the same window in every other shot aboard the train.

Stopover - S7-E14

Continuity mistake: After Frank locks him in the jail cell, the Virginian stands with his hands holding the bars in full shots, but in close-ups, his arms are extended through the bars in a completely different position.

Legacy of Hate - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: Stacey places his hat on the wagon seat before confronting Lee Caulder's men on the street. When he picks the hat up again, it has moved several inches to the right. (00:47:35)

Train of Darkness - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: The miniature train used in all the night shots (it passes the same artificial mountainside several times), is pulling three passenger cars and no baggage car. When the full size train arrives at the station the next day, it has a baggage car and only one passenger car.

The Golden Door - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, the deceased man is found inside a house. At the end of the show, the killer said the deceased man hit his head on a rock.
