In "Gold Country" 3/22 there is no indication that the grave of his wife and gold Zachariah buried was ever dug up by Mr. Griffin. Even after Charles buried the old man it doesn't look like anything had been dug.
On a side note: Didn't that reverend seem a little strange?

In "The High Cost of being Right" 4/19 Johnathan's barn was completely filled with his harvest. When he walks in the next morning there is just an empty building with a few burnt boards lying around.
Where is his crop? If it was filled to the gills there would be days before it stopped smoldering. There would be a heck of a lot of cleaning up, probably with Charles' help as well after that

Two for you today.
- This is one that was covered by the old thread. In "Castoffs" 4/1 when Nels is drunk and talking to Charles you can see the reflection of the boom mic in the window.
- In "Here come the brides" Wardrobe malfunction. Half way through the episode Luke and Nellie are running down a hill. It's
abundantly
clear that Nellie/Alison is not wearing a bra. Not that it's a bad thing, I'm just sayin'.

In the episode where Percival's parents come to visit just before the twins are born, The windows say "Caroline's" and the sign on the building says "Nellie's", which is what we would expect. There is a "filler" nighttime scene halfway through that lasts about 10 seconds and shows the outside of the restaurant and the windows clearly say "Nellie's". Then later near the end, they are back to "Caroline's". Obviously they inserted some footage that had been taken long before the name was changed.
In the 2nd episode from when Adam regains his site and tries to get into law school, Adam has an accident and a friend calls Mary who is vacationing in Walnut Grove and staying at Nellie's. Watch when she enters the room to answer the phone, it's as if she's no longer blind. She walks right to the chair and answers the phone like she's done it a million times, she even looks at the receiver. I could understand this behavior if she were at the blind school and used to the environment, but I don't recall her ever having been on that phone before. Ma should have guided her to the chair. -

There was at least one other episode where the writers had a goof regarding Mary's blindness. In the episode There's No Place Like Home there was a scene where Mary was trying to tell Charles that he should consider moving back to Walnut Grove since he was clearly unhappy living in Winoka. Charles was looking down when Mary said, "Look at me." Charles continued to look down so Mary told him once more to look up at her while she was trying to talk to him. How could Mary have known whether or not Charles was looking at her?

In "As long as we're together" 5/1 Laura is helping Albert lift the dime with Bubble Gum. Which wasn't invented until 1929.
Thanks to the great depression it became popular.

I don't know exactly what they used but CHEWING GUM was around back then. way before then, in fact. it wasn't really commercialized or colored, but it was there.
If they used the pink chewing gum that we all know, then that was wrong:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewing_gum
but the American Indians used to chomp on spruce tree resin. in 1848 , John B. Curtis developed and sold the first commercial chewing gum called The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum.
Around 1850 a gum made from paraffin wax, which is a petroleum product, was developed and soon exceeded the spruce gum in popularity. To sweeten these early gums the chewer would often make use of a plate of powdered sugar, which they would repeatedly dip the gum into to maintain sweetness and taste.
The first flavored chewing gum was created in the 1860s by John Colgan, a Louisville, Kentucky pharmacist. Colgan mixed with powdered sugar the aromatic flavoring tolu, a powder obtained from an extract of the balsam tree (Myroxylon), creating small sticks of flavored chewing gum he named "Taffy Tolu
Modern chewing gum was first developed in the 1860s when chicle was brought from Mexico by the former President, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, to New York, where he gave it to Thomas Adams for use as a rubber substitute. Chicle did not succeed as a replacement for rubber, but as a gum, which was cut into strips and marketed as Adams New York Chewing Gum in 1871.[16][17] Black Jack (1884), which is flavored with licorice, Chiclets (1899), and Wrigley's Spearmint Gum were early popular gums that quickly dominated the market and are all still around today.[3] Chewing gum gained worldwide popularity through American GIs in WWII, who were supplied chewing gum as a ration and traded it with locals. Synthetic gums were first introduced to the U.S. after chicle no longer satisfied the needs of making good chewing gum.[3] By the 1960s, US manufacturers had switched to butadiene-based synthetic rubber, as it was cheaper to manufacture.

I mentioned if the used the pink stuff especially if it was a big wad, then they were wrong.
the sad thing, online/catalog stores do still make/sell the gum that was around in the 1880's blackjacks and even Wrigley's was around at that time.
I think a bigger goof is why did they spend their precious penny on that?

I think this might have been the first GOOF on here.
I was sitting in a chair watching this first run episode and chewing that very same gum.
I just fingered it was a mass produced commercial overused prop. Certainly not what would be available in a rural area in the 1880's.
I was 17 years old and understood that perfectly.
I was also in High School drama at the time so it was easy to tell.
