Other mistake: The opening credits for season 5 show June coming out of the front door with a pitcher of what looks like iced tea, and calling for Ward, Wally and Beaver who are all working outside. But the door opens by itself as she comes out, and then closes by itself behind her. If the entire family is outside, who opened and closed the door?

Continuity mistake: When Beaver makes a face for The School Picture, he sticks his tongue out. But when Mrs. Rayburn and Miss Landers are looking at the picture sometime later, Beaver isn't sticking his tongue out. (00:13:00)

Continuity mistake: When June is talking to Wally, she's wearing a wristwatch and her wedding ring on her left hand. But in a close-up shot of her hands while she's making a sandwich, her left hand is bare with no watch or ring. Back to the wide shot, and the watch and ring are on her hand again. (00:05:25)

Continuity mistake: There are a couple of continuity errors in the dance scene: First, the 4 girls sitting across from the boys switch positions from one shot to the next, then the last girl (long dark hair) disappears from the row of girls entirely, only to show up on the dance floor later in the scene. She was across from (and should have been paired up with) Beaver; instead, the teacher nods toward a now-empty chair and remarks that they "ran out of girls". (00:08:00)

Continuity mistake: When Beaver and Wally are examining Ward's old trunk, two of the pictures of June taped to the inside of the lid go from being a couple of inches apart to right next to each other to apart again. (00:07:05)

Continuity mistake: When Linda is up in the tree talking with Beaver, her hair braids keep changing position; sometimes they're over her shoulders and sometimes not. (00:05:00)

Leave It To Beaver (1957)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ward is waiting for the boys outside the movie theater, several kids are seen walking out of the theater more than once. A brunette girl in a plaid dress is seen walking out at least six times. (00:02:00)

Trivia: Toward the end of the episode, Penny calls Wally and they start to fight over the phone. We hear speeded-up "chipmunk" dialogue to simulate Penny's side of the conversation. The dialogue is actually bits and pieces of Penny's lines from earlier in the episode - complete with the laugh track.

Continuity mistake: When Beaver goes to Penny's front door, the door changes in appearance from one shot to the next. (00:23:05)

Continuity mistake: When Beaver walks over to the window to look outside, the window is fogged up due to a rainstorm. But when he gets there, the pane of glass he looks through is clear - without his having had time to wipe it off. (00:03:05)

Captain Jack - S1-E3
Trivia: The episode "Captain Jack" was the first time a toilet was shown on TV; the boys buy a baby alligator and Wally is shown putting it in the toilet tank. The network censors were so spooked by the thought of showing a toilet on television that they delayed the episode. And when the censors finally relented, the compromise allowed only the toilet tank to be shown, not the bowl.

Visible crew/equipment: As Ward and June are discussing the pigeons, the camera moves in for a close-up - and its shadow becomes visible on the left sleeve of June's dress. (00:11:40)
