The one where they are looking at the old photo album and show the "flashbacks".....never liked that episode because they showed pictures that could not have possibly been taken....

For example, they show Wally and Beaver goofing off at the bathtub....who took the picture ???? !!!!

Funny that you should bring that episode up, dav4463, because I never cared for the final episode either, and for the exact reason you stated. It just didn't make sense to have the family reminiscing via photos that were never taken to begin with!

The best "photo" was the one taken when Wally is about to shave for the first time, and Eddie and Toohey were observing him. Ward unexpectedly catches him as Wally is showing off, and really lays into him. Ward was probably at his angriest in that episode, and the last thing he would have done would have been to take his picture. LOL!

I think the episode would have worked a lot better if the family was gathered around conversing, and they simply flashed back to the various episodes. In other words, leave it all the same sans the photographs.

Come on Dave,... where's your imagination pal? <lol>

They don't want 'us', the viewers figuring that kind of stuff out.
They just want to get another episode made. In this case,the very last one.

Really Dave,all kidding aside,you made a good point. Who indeed took that picture at the tub? mm (smile)

I know who took all those pictures! The person who opened the door for June when she was carrying the tray.

I never liked this episode because they showed pictures of things that never happened on the show.

Thats a good one GidgetCleaver.

I wonder how many more 'flukes' and 'mistakes' we could find,if we looked real hard?

Like a boom microphone dangeling above the actor's head in the kitchen. I saw that once,but can't remember the ep it was from.

Or from the ep "Wally's Accident" ...
Wally saying the 'headlight' was damaged on his father's new car,when in fact they showed the car with not on a damaged headlight,but part of the hood and front r/f fender as well.

I guess 'they' don't think we notice those things...huh?

From now on,when I watch a show,I'm going to be even more observant,and take some notes.
