Emergency!

Drivers - S2-E13

Audio problem: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the hotel fire, Roy's holding the bullhorn in one hand to instruct everyone, and the HT in his other hand. After Johnny catches the baby, just before Truck 8 rolls in, when Roy says over the HT, "All right, set up the Truck...," he moves his hand with the HT away from his face and directs Truck 8, yet his voice is still booming as if speaking into it.

Syndrome - S2-E16

Audio problem: When Roy and Johnny are tending to the actor with possible MI, Brackett asks for an EKG strip, and after Johnny hooks the scope up to the Biophone, we hear him say, "Lead 2," but his mouth is closed and doesn't move.

The Professor - S2-E15

Audio problem: At the site of the crashed plane, when the trapped pilot screams, "Help, I can't get out, the doors are jammed," his mouth movements do not sync with the words we hear. Then once he's out, it happens again when he says "I guess I'm a little shook."

Drivers - S2-E13

Audio problem: When Roy and John are with the unconscious man during the fire at the Atlas Hotel, Chet and Marco bring the stokes and Chet tells them that the fire is getting worse, and when Roy responds, "If we move him now we're gonna lose him," we see that Roy continues talking as Chet listens to him, but we hear nothing.

Helpful - S2-E12

Audio problem: At the start of the episode, while Johnny's mopping and Roy's fidgeting with the resuscitator, during their conversation, in the background we hear Captain Stanley talking to the other guys in the kitchen. The key words we hear Cap say are, "New problem location in our area...Molded products...Cardboard cartons...Two rows, aisles in between, up to 8 ft high...Bottoms get soaked." Then we hear Cap repeat, "New problem locations in our area," and continues, "1806 North Oak," and we hear all the guys laugh, though nothing's funny. Captain Stanley's dialogue is from 2x1, "Problem," at the start of that episode.

Women - S2-E9

Audio problem: After helping the guy who was trapped in his sofa bed, Christy, Roy, and Johnny get back into the squad, and then we hear Johnny tell the dispatcher that Squad 51 is returning to quarters, but we see that Johnny's not actually saying anything.

Fuzz Lady - S2-E7

Audio problem: When Johnny and Roy send down the boy who was trapped on the crane, once he's carried by Chet and the others, we hear Captain Stanley say, "Alright, let's get him into the Stokes, and get him outta here as fast as we can," but his mouth is not saying those words (though Chet's helmet blocks Cap's mouth for part, it applies to the rest). Additionally, it doesn't make any sense that he would even say that, because they're loading him straight onto the ambulance stretcher, not a Stokes.

Audit - S2-E21

Audio problem: After Johnny successfully unlocks the car with the toddler inside, when he and Roy hold him the audio we hear is of the toddler crying, even though in some shots it's obvious that he's not really crying. Additionally, when the toddler was still locked in the car wrapped in a blanket, in the closeup his hair (actually a doll's hair) is much thicker and longer than it is when they get him out.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Johnny is knocked unconscious by the explosion, when the Pasadena fireman finds him and has to lift him up, it's funny how even though Johnny's unconscious we can see that he actually helps to stand himself up, so the fireman can lift him up and carry him out.

Breakdown - S6-E15

Charlie: I think you guys are playing games with me, and I don't like it.
Roy: Now, wait a minute. We're not playing games. We don't play games with the equipment...
Captain Stanley: Wait, hold on. C'mon everybody, look we're all on the same side here, aren't we?
Charlie: I wonder.
Captain Stanley: Charlie, why can't we put the squad in the shop and have us a reserve vehicle here?
Charlie: No, no, Hank. Not until I'm 100% sure that I can't fix it. If there's anything wrong with it. This coffee stinks. [Leaves the room.]
Captain Stanley: You guys playing some kind of joke on him?
John: We didn't make the coffee!
Captain Stanley: Not the coffee, you twit, the squad.
Roy: Cap, there's something wrong with that squad out there.
Captain Stanley: [sigh.] All right, if you say so... I made the coffee.

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.
