The Girl on the Balance Beam - S5-E18
Other mistake: Twice during this episode, when they're dispatched to a "woman trapped on a wire" and also to the "train fire", we see Engine 51 heading out with two firemen standing at the back of the engine, and they are Johnny and Roy. This footage is actually from the episode "The Old Engine" in season 3, when they got the new Ward La France engine for Station 51, and since Roy and Johnny were waiting for the previous shift to return with the squad, Captain Stanley told them to jump on the back and go with them on their first run with the new engine.

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny arrive on scene with the injured gymnast, as they enter the building in the exterior shot it's the last door that's open, but in the next interior shot that last door is shut, and it's the second to last door that's open.

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are at the movie studio, while they're dangling from their lifelines they're trying to help the actress dangling from her own lines, but when she freaks out she drops her wand (yes, a wand) in the wide shot, but next closeup she's still holding it.

Visible crew/equipment: While en route to the woman trapped on a wire, the reflection of the cameraman is visible on the windshield after Mike drives past the entrance to Commercial Studios. We see it's not Captain Stanley, but instead it's someone wearing a white shirt, holding up something (presumably the camera) with both hands.

Visible crew/equipment: On scene at the accident with the tanker carrying liquid hydrogen, after Chet extinguishes the fire that ignited on Johnny's back, when the fire spreads and the car explodes, the car falls onto its side and the FX stunt platform that the car was resting on becomes visible. Then two shots later that platform has vanished, as they hose down the fire.
Above and Beyond... Nearly - S5-E20
Other mistake: After Dixie gets the call from the dental clinic about the possible MI, she and Brackett take the elevator located at the nurses' station and head up to the dental clinic on the third floor. Problem is that the ER is only a 2-storey building, so that is quite impossible.

Visible crew/equipment: In the dental clinic, when the possible MI is being examined, two actors' black tape marks become visible under the patient's chair, one below the footrest and another below the headrest.
Above and Beyond... Nearly - S5-E20
Revealing mistake: Dixie and Brackett rush onto the elevator with a crash cart to go up to the third floor, for a possible MI in the dental clinic. The camera's POV is from the elevator, and in one continuous shot, without cutting away, we see the ER hallway through the open doors, then the doors close and in a few moments the doors open on the third floor. Even though the set has changed a bit, we can tell it's still the ER hallway by things such as the same scuff marks on the floor, and we can also catch a glimpse of the paramedic status board on the wall, where the base station room is located.

Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny and Roy get back to the station, and Captain Stanley tells them to come into the office where Chief Houts is waiting, the reflection of numerous set lighting can be seen on the squad's chrome spotlight.
Above and Beyond... Nearly - S5-E20
Revealing mistake: When Roy and Johnny are on the cliff loading the unconscious victim onto the stokes, as they try to lift each of the victim's legs, we can see the unconscious man also lifting his own leg to assist the actors.
Above and Beyond... Nearly - S5-E20
Continuity mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to 'man stranded on a cliff', when Roy and John free climb up the cliff, they're not wearing their uniform shoes, they're wearing hiking-type shoes with ridges on the soles.
Audio problem: When Vince and Mike pull the tabletop out from under the car, while Roy is under there with Mrs. Merkle, we hear the audio of Roy loudly saying, "I'm telling you right now, we're gonna have to brace this thing well, this thing will...," but what's oddly funny is that the dialogue is dubbed right over Roy saying, "Wait, wait, let me check her over...," which is a neat trick that he can say both lines at the same time.
Continuity mistake: When they pull the man with chest pains from the pickup truck, Dixie says treatment 3, which is opposite the receiving entrance and on the same side of the hall as the nurses' station, closest to the red line on the hallway floor, but when Dixie leaves the treatment room it's at the side of the hallway closest to the yellow line, and since there's a window on its door we know it's actually treatment 1 that he's in, not 3.
Continuity mistake: At the restaurant, when they begin to work on getting Mrs. Merkle out from under the car, Vince sets the Biophone down on the table, and there's a netted, red glass candle on the table, but in a following closeup the candle's net has vanished and it's pinkish clear glass now. Other items on the table change as well.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny go to get on the helicopter they are with only the orange bio-phone, but after The Boat brings them back to the shore you see them running to the helicopter with the patients, and they pick up their large black trauma box. They didn't have it with them when they left.
Answer: I believe you are speaking of the old man, Mr. Wilson. He's played by J. Pat O'Malley.

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
