Emergency!

The Hard Hours - S3-E18

Other mistake: After Dr. Early fixes the squad's engine problem, while Roy and Johnny are driving away, Roy's watch reads 10:30, but when the dispatcher sends them to the leg injury he says that the time out is 11:52. Then at the scene of the football player's leg injury, Roy's watch reads 8:15 and Johnny's watch reads 9:30.

Zero - S3-E10

Other mistake: When Tommy is in the treatment room drinking chocolate milk, the container of milk has tape wrapped around it, so the brand name would not be visible. Later at the station, when Chet is polishing the table in the kitchen, the spray can he's using has tape wrapped around it as well, for the same reason.

Snakebite - S3-E6

Revealing mistake: At the start of the episode, in the closeup shot of Chet, Roy, and Johnny as they're talking about their trip, we can see the Land Rover hood's base plate where the vehicle's spare tire is supposed to be mounted, but the tire isn't there because of the mounted camera facing the actors in the vehicle. In other shots the spare tire is properly mounted on the Land Rover's hood.

Honest - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Epps begs Dr. Morton to tell her the truth about her son's condition, the stethoscope is hanging around Morton's neck with the headset on his left side and the chestpiece on his right side, but then it flips to the opposite way, and then back again, between shots.

The Professor - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are at the construction site with the guy who wants to jump, before Roy walks over to him we see the pompier belt around Johnny's waist has the carabiner hook to his left and the double tongue buckles to his right. Then when Captain Stanley tells Johnny to try and get to the guy from the other side, Johnny's belt is now around his waist the opposite way. In the following shots his life belt flips around a couple more times. Note that their pompier belts have at one side double leather straps which are the two tongue buckles, and the other side has a single strap of leather for the attached carabiner hook.

School Days - S2-E14

Visible crew/equipment: When Squad 51 gets pulled over to help the guy with a snake on his stomach, just as Johnny reaches over to take the broom from Billy, the outline of the lav mic transmitter is visible on the back of Johnny's shirt.

School Days - S2-E14

Character mistake: When Dixie tells Gail to set up in treatment 1, Brackett tells them they can't use treatment 1 because they have a skull fracture coming in, then Brackett and Early head down the hallway to treatment 1, and that skull fracture, Skyle Tyler, has already been lying there being examined by Morton.

Drivers - S2-E13

Other mistake: During the structure fire at the Atlas Hotel, when Roy and John are with the unconscious man being given proper CPR by civilians, it is too painfully apparent that the man giving rescue breaths is just leaning over the man's face, nowhere near the victim's mouth, particularly after Marco and Chet drop off the stokes.

Drivers - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Squad 51 and then Engine 51 are dispatched to the hotel fire, before going in Johnny's SCBA cylinder has a large arrow sticker and Roy's has a large red sticker, but once inside Roy's air cylinder goes back and forth from having an arrow sticker to the red sticker. Then in a few moments, when Marco and Chet go in with the stokes, both of their air cylinders are tall, flat-top and devoid of stickers, but inside their SCBA cylinders are short, round-top and keep switching from having either an arrow or large red stickers.

Drivers - S2-E13

Other mistake: When Brackett's on the line with Johnny, who's with the quarterback on the field, Brackett has the third button (out of five) pressed to record the conversation on the tape machine. However, in episode 2x5, "Peace Pipe", Brackett presses two buttons - the third and fifth, when Squad 51 is at the scene of the drunk driver's accident, and in 2x10, "Dinner Date", Dixie presses the second button to record, when Squad 51 is with the little girl whose arm is stuck in the pool drain.

Helpful - S2-E12

Other mistake: After Roy tells Captain Stanley, over the HT, that he and Johnny may have found something in the flooding storm drain, Captain Stanley uses his HT to contact Marco and Chet (who are driving Squad 51 while John and Roy are down below), and says "Squad 51, Engine 51..," but the subtitles read, "Car 51, Engine 51..." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.

Fuzz Lady - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are with the elderly man in the burning house, the window is pushed up fully when Mike climbs the ladder in the exterior shot, but when Mike breaks the window with the axe, the window is halfway down in the interior shot.

Super Grover

Fuzz Lady - S2-E7

Other mistake: When the tones drop and Station 51 is dispatched to the "structure fire", there's a closeup of all the guys running from the kitchen and the back heading to the squad and engine, and none of them are actually 51's guys.

Super Grover

Saddled - S2-E6

Other mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the 'child in a coma', the address is given as "3705 Orchard", but when they park on the building's corner the street sign reads Colfax. As an aside, this is the same location/footage that is used in 2x5, "Peace Pipe", with the address given as "1017 Crocker" in that episode.

Super Grover

Peace Pipe - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are at the nurses' station telling Dixie about the girdle run, Squad 51 responds to the structure fire right up the street, and we see Roy and Johnny en route without the turnouts, but when they pull up to the house they're both wearing turnouts.

Super Grover

Peace Pipe - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Treatment 4 is beside the nurses' station, as seen when Roy and John are with Debbie's parents, while the drunk driver is being wheeled through the double doors. Later, when Brackett suspects that Debbie's father is with the drunk, as he rushes to the drunk's room he goes through the double doors to get to the room, but while Brackett's in the room speaking to Debbie's father we can see treatment 4's door right behind Brackett, even though they're supposed to be in a completely different area.

Show Biz - S2-E3

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.

Super Grover

Decision - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire in the middle of the night, once they arrive at the burning house, one of the first shots shows a crowd of bystanders, many in their robes. That footage is from season 1, the pilot episode "The Wedsworth-Townsend Act", during the factory fire at the start of that episode.

Hang-Up - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When the guys of Station 51 are dealing with the rescue of the doctor from the radioactive lab, Johnny's, Chet's, and Marco's SCBA cylinders change during this scene while they're all wearing them. Differences such as tall, slim, with a flat top vs short, wide, with a rounded top, and also the writing on the tanks. Marco's even changes between shots, when he exits the lab's doorway.

The Promise - S3-E11

Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.

School Days - S2-E14

Question: Who are the two baseball players that walk up to the nurses' station to talk about their teammate and discuss his relationship status with his girlfriend to Dixie?

Answer: I was rewatching a few first season episodes of Charlie's Angels (1976), and in S1xE6 "The Killing Kind," I recognized the same actor. So, to finally fully answer your question, the two baseball players in School Days are played by Rod Perry and Sean Fallon Walsh.

Super Grover

Answer: I took a screenshot of the two actors, with Rod Perry on the right (https://imgur.com/GCW1myD). Hopefully someone will know the name of the actor on the left. Both actors are uncredited in the episode's credits.

Super Grover

Answer: The guy on the right is actor, Rod Perry. Two years later he played Deacon on the 1970s TV show S.W.A.T. (and now I'm humming its theme song). As for the actor on the left, I recognize his face and voice, but I can't recall from what.
