Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny asks Dixie for advise on how to talk to fifth graders, Dixie walks out from behind the desk at the nurses' station, and as they walk up the hallway the actor's tape mark is visible on the floor, where she had been standing and where Morton is about to stand.

Kidding - S4-E17

Visible crew/equipment: When Brackett, Early, and Morton enter treatment 1 to examine the hallucinating veteran, inside there's a young doctor standing to the left of the door. After Brackett tells Morton he wants an EEG, skull x-rays, and brain scan, when Morton heads to the phone to order the neurological workup, we can see the actor's white tape mark under the gurney, where the young doctor had been standing.

Visible crew/equipment: When John and Roy tackle the hallucinating veteran, the outlines of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back of Johnny's shirt. As an aside, this scene was shot right outside Universal Studios, note the Black Tower/MCA Tower (which houses Universal's execs) when John tells the veteran that it's not a trick and to calm down.

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.
