Show Biz - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: During this episode, treatment 4 and treatment 2 keep switching places, between being located beside the nurses' station or being located near the ER entrance. For instance, when Johnny is on the line telling Rampart that Dr. Knott doesn't want to come in, treatment 2 is by the nurses' station, but when Roy ribs Johnny about his sex fantasies, treatment 2 is near the entrance. Quite fun to try and keep track of the repeated switching.

Continuity mistake: At the movie studio, during the rescue of the stunt guy whose leg is trapped in the wagon, while both Roy and Johnny are standing in the water, they're wearing water-type boots with whitish, flat rubber soles.

Continuity mistake: After Early tells Dixie about the patient with an unknown illness, in the shot from the hallway, we see Carol taking him into treatment 4, which has a windowless door, but when Morton is examining him in the shot from inside the room there's a window on the door (looks like treatment 6).

Continuity mistake: When the woman from the car accident is brought to the ER, she's put into treatment 4, as mentioned by Dixie and all three doctors, and it has a windowless door, but when Early and Morton are speaking to the patient about the car accident, they're all in a treatment room with a window on the door (looks like 6, the one opposite the nurses' station).

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Early is with the farmer with the unknown illness and talking to Dixie, there's a tall dark item sticking up on the left side of the farmer's buttoned shirt pocket, and then when Dr. Knott stops to ask him questions the item is sticking up on the right side of the buttoned pocket. It could not have simply shifted sides in the pocket, because the pocket flap is buttoned at the center.

Continuity mistake: During the rescue at the movie studio, when Roy and Johnny wrap the line around the stuntman's waist, Johnny's belt does not go through his pants' back center loop, but a moment later after the wagon falls, when they pull the stuntman up, Johnny's belt now goes through that back loop.

Continuity mistake: When Roy, Johnny, and Chet are cleaning the locker room/bathroom while talking about the models' upcoming visit, dispatch drops tones for 'man trapped in a ditch', and then we see Johnny and Roy coming from the kitchen which is on the opposite side of the firehouse.

To Buy or Not to Buy - S5-E14

Other mistake: On scene at the traffic accident, when the woman and the boy with non-serious injuries are seated at the back of the ambulance, neither Roy or Johnny are going along with them to Rampart, yet Johnny puts the drug box inside the back of the ambulance with them, and the ambulance drives off. With their drug box! Captain Stanley even says that he'll advise dispatch that they're available for a run at the scene, while the guys will be looking for the dog.

The Game - S6-E1

Trivia: It's in this episode that the Heimlich Maneuver is used for the first time by the paramedics. At the USC game, when a guy is choking on a hot dog, John and Roy are called, and John uses the Heimlich. Up until season 6 we've seen the guys use other methods, such as the ChokeSaver which look like huge white tweezers, to remove obstructions in an airway, as seen in 4x9, "Foreign Trade."

The Mouse - S4-E20

Question: The old man that comes in with his wife that can't breathe, the one that the head nurse tries to counsel and tempts him with a cup of coffee. I believe he is Alfred Hitchcock, though his name is not listed anywhere. Alfred Hitchcock is known for his cameo appearances in his own shows and in other shows. Can someone confirm that this is him? This is driving me nuts... It is toward the end of the episode, but I cannot give you times.

Answer: I believe you are speaking of the old man, Mr. Wilson. He's played by J. Pat O'Malley.

Bishop73

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.
