Andy Keeps Maps Of Nevada and Idaho Upside-down Behind His Desk
Show: The Andy Griffith Show
Original Network: CBS
Est. Production Budget: Undisclosed
The Andy Griffith Show, which aired from the fall of 1960 to the spring of 1968, chronicled the lives of Sheriff Andy Taylor, his deputy Barney Fife, and his son Opie (played by a young Ron Howard). Each week, families would watch to see what antics the gang would get into and whistle along to the show’s catchy theme song. However, even ardent viewers failed to examine the map behind Andy’s desk in his office closely enough. Had they done so, they would have observed that the maps of Nevada and Idaho were reversed.

Est. Production Budget: $25,000-$60,000 per episode*
The 1957 television series Leave It To Beaver chronicles the misadventures of Wally and Theodore, also known as “Beaver,” the two sons of the Cleaver family, who frequently get into trouble despite their best efforts. Over the course of its six seasons, the show broke a number of obscure records and accomplished a number of milestones. One of the many things Leave It To Beaver did to help break down the boundaries of what will be tolerated on screen was to show a toilet (or part of one) on television.
