Chicago Fire

Ambition - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: While at the Firehouse and talking about Dawson getting Candidate EMT Tara "tanked", they have pancakes and sausage and as Otis sits, his sausage is on top of his pancakes and then when Casey walks up the sausage is cut up on the side. Then when it goes back to Otis the sausage reappears back on top of the pancakes, untouched. (00:28:28)

Out with a Bang - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: No snow in all exterior scenes except for when Chief Bowden pays a return visit to have dinner with the female resident of the building which was a fire scene early in the episode. He gets out of his car and walks to the building with several inches of snow on the ground. The immediate next scene of Shay (supposedly the same time) has spotlessly clean streets.

Infection, Part I - S8-E4

Trivia: Casey is playing catch with a football at a Chicago Bears game. Casey throws the football is back underhand like it's a rugby ball and not the American way overhead. Casey is played by Jesse Gordon Spencer who is an Australian actor, so that's why he threw the football like it was rugby ball. (00:01:07)
