What about the disappearing doll in The Foundling? The scene where Ep comes to collect Holly and she is sitting outside on the coal store door with the doll and is taken over to Ep and she takes the doll with her - next scene the family are standing in a group around her with the coal store in the background and the doll is lying where she sat and next second the doll is discreetly being moved away by an unseen hand. And what about the ever-changing view from Olivia's kitchen window? sometimes it's mountains, other times it's a path leading to a meadow, sometimes its trees - she must never have been bored gazing out when the scenery changed so often

I just noticed in the season 2 episode "The Thanksgiving Story" (part 1) right before John Boy is hit by the saw mill belt a figure can be seen walking past the trees behind John Boy. It looks like a female wearing modern clothes (a bright blue shirt and black pants). Must have been a crew member or set visitor.

I think someone posted a screenshot of that here on the forum awhile back. I'll see if I can find it.

I'd love to see a screenshot. I kept rewinding the scene to try and figure out who it was.

Found a blooper. In "The Runaway" Jim Bob and John Boy are in the restaurant and John Boy is drinking hot tea. John Boy goes to dip some sugar out of the sugar bowl and puts it in his tea. Only there is no sugar on the spoon. He does this twice.

I don't know which episode it is, but when the county nurse is sitting on her horse in the Walton's front yard talking to John and Livy about Mary Ellen becoming a good nurse in the future, you can see a hand holding the horse's reins.

It was season 2. Elizabeth was only about 7 years old, and she always seemed small for her age. I think that person is too tall to be Elizabeth at age 7. If it's a cast member, I think it is Ben.

What we need to do is watch that episode and see what clothing Elizabeth is wearing. Those pants are pretty baggy and short for a boy. I see alot of thick hair on the side of the face, down to the chin. What episode is this?

I'm not sure if this would be considered a blooper but in the episode where John has his high school reunion, one his married classmates has 3 kids...and the youngest of the 3 is the little "british boy" - the one from the episode where he (name was "Pip") and his sister are temporarily taken in by the Waltons (from the Baldwin sisters), over Christmas. I always find it strange when shows use previous actors for different parts in other episodes. Just like when the guy who played Curt was the co-pilot in the Wing Walker episode, then he went on to play Mary Ellen's husband. I never understand why they do this.........surely they could have found other actors? Job Security? Sorry to bump up such an old thread, but Pip was played by Jeff Cotler, Kami's real-life brother. He shows up quite often throughout the series playing various 'extra' characters, usually non-speaking and uncredited. He can be seen in the school and, in one episode in church (I can't remember which), he can be seen sitting in a pew beside Elizabeth (Kami).

Anyone notice in the Season 5 episode when Ep Bridges is running for Sheriff (in 1937) John-Boy tells the other candidate's campaign manager that he is 20 years old (meaning he was born in 1917), but later that same Season (also in 1937), John-Boy says he was "4-years old" when John returned from WWI (1918), meaning John-Boy would have been born in 1914. Also, Erin says she is "16 years old (in 1937) during "The Elopement," but she is also shown to graduate from High School in 1937 at age 16. Isn't that 2 years too early to graduate?

Also in Season 5 "The Heartbreaker" (1937), in the closing narration, Earl refers to Jason as being 20 years old! How could Jason and John-Boy BOTH be 20-years old in 1937!? The carelessness with ages/timelines is surprising - especially between episodes so close together in the same season! To avoid these gaffes, the series would have been better off taking a "Goldbergs" approach and starting each opening narration with a less-specific year...for example: "It was Spring in Nineteen-Thirty-Something..."

These errors were common place. Continuity was also questionable at times. I have always put this down to lack of communication between the many script writers that worked on the many series. I could be wrong on the reasons for the faults, but that is my opinion
