In watching The Loss recently, I noticed 2 instances of what appeared to be mistakes on the parts of the actros. First, Olivia was talking about the childrens' reactions to the death of the young Olivia's husband, when she said "they will grow from this and learn". I think grow and learn should have been switched.
The next instance was when the family was gathered around the old pregnant cat, and Elizabeth said "Mama why is she breathing like that?". The camera panned to Mama, but Daddy actually answered the question.
Of course it could have been written that way, but it just made me wonder if such minor errors were ignored, or at what point a "do over" was needed.
P.S. I'm not good at this new system yet!

I think that, if they have noticed a "goof" at all, whether they change it probably depends on where they are in the shooting schedule -- i.e., if they are about to wrap, they may not bother to go back and reshoot a questionable but unimportant scene item, especially if it will be costly to do so.... You wouldn't believe the number of things that are left in when shooting a soap....

Well for example in The Honeymoon when the skunk goes into the house and they all sleep in the barn Ben asks a question to Grandpa but at the end of the question Grandpa answers Jim-Bob instead of Ben.  |

This happened in one of the later seasons, in the episode The Outrage. John Curtis was sitting up in a high chair and was old enough to talk. He said something that probably wasn't written into the script, but they left it in anyway, probably because John interacted with him, and it was cute.
John Curtis: "I got new pants."
John: "I see that. Who got you those, your mommy?"
John Curtis: "No, from Pat."
John: "From Pat? Where does she live? On the next farm?"
John Curtis: "Yeah."
John: "Okay, Good."

Well there seems to have been some mixup in Season 8 and 9 as the man playing John-Boy is most certainly not Richard Thomas! Robert Wightman I believe was his name. I wonder if any of the cast or crew realised this mistake? They seem to have ammended this in the final three TV movies. (in case it's not obvious, I'm just teasing  ) |

Hey everyone- I don't think of these as "goofs" but gems. For example when Ralph was directing, he would have these little moments with the kids that weren't scripted and were so cute, they would leave them in. Also in the eating scenes, we would film the master and the little moments before and at the end of the scene weren't scripted or developed while rehearsing were kept in at the time of editing. As far as those moments where Will answered to the wrong person, they kept those in because that is the way life really is when you have so many people in the family and besides with Will, he would have talked to a different person at each subsequent take. I LOVE THOSE!
Take Care,
Eric

I think This one is in The 1st Sissy Spacek episode, but There is a scene where John-Boy and John come into the kitchen, and the whole family is sitting around cooking and whatever.
Everybody is saying The usual, " Hi Daddy ,Hi John-boy" stuff, and Elizabeth goes, "Hi Daddy, Hi JIM-BOB" , and Jim Bob is stirring something at the stove and he looks over at Kami and smiles like " I"M JIM BOB .You called Richard the wrong name "

Watching the Unthinkable this morning, and John is checking out Jim Bob's report card as Elizabeth brings out some cocoa. Jim Bob asks John to sign his report card and then says I'll buy you some cocoa/ coffee etc. Why do people say stuff like this one television when they're at home getting family coffee, cocoa soda beer whatever. Since when do you buy someone a cup of coffee at home! That doesn't happen in real life. You just serve thenm the drink! Thats my goof of the day. WMFAN  |

WMFAN I've heard folks use that at home -- including my father -- so, it does happen in real life.... It's just a cute way of offering a "bribe" !!! |

I like the odd "goofs". I notice that there are many times when Elizabeth mainly and Erin look at the camera when they are not suppose to. I think Jim-Bob did remarkably well for one so young not to keep doing this.
