Where's Houston? - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: After Rocky tells Houston about her grandfather's murder Rockford tells his dad to give her a little time, and then it cuts to the closeup of Houston slamming the butter onto a rectangular butter dish. In the next shot some changes include the rectangular butter dish is now a round plate, and the white laminate counter has changed into a yellow patterned ceramic tile countertop. (00:19:50)

Where's Houston? - S2-E20

Visible crew/equipment: When Rockford and Rocky are seated at the table, an angry Houston brings the butter to the table and takes a seat, then just as Rockford tells her to let the police handle it, the shadow of the moving boom mic is visible on the wall beside the doorway, on the right side of the screen.

Jim Rockford: Hey, I'm sorry Dad, you just caught me at a bad time. Reading that detective fiction doesn't help. I mean things aren't like that you know? They're not black and white. They're aren't any heroes left, they die young. (pointing to a book cover) His gun is deadly? Mine's in a cookie jar.
