The Lighter-Than-Air Man - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: At the scene of the overturned truck causing toxic smoke, when Chet talks to the driver and then pops out the windshield, in the wide shots the two windshields are intact and not cracked, but in the closeups facing Chet and the closeups facing the driver there are long cracks in the windshield.

Tee Vee - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: When the guy who was injured in the manhole is brought into the ER, Dix tells them to bring him to treatment 6 (which is around the corner from the other treatment rooms, and has no color lines that run past its door), then we see him wheeled into treatment 6 in the shot from the hallway. However, in the next shot from inside the treatment room we can see they're not in treatment 6, but actually in treatment 1, note the red, green, and yellow lines on the hallway floor in front of its doorway, and treatment 6 has no color lines that run past its doorway.

Show Biz - S2-E3

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.

Weird Wednesday - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When the man who doesn't speak English is lying in treatment 4, in Dixie's closeups she and the patient's 'friend' are standing in front of the wall with the white dispenser, but in the repeated wide shots of Early with the patient, that wall is seen behind Early and nobody is standing in front of it.

Weird Wednesday - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When the man who doesn't speak English is in treatment 4, there's a closeup of the Datascope 850 monitor, and then the girl points to the EKG monitoring unit behind the gurney and asks Dixie why the thing is bouncing up and down. Problem is that the Datascope 850 is used by the paramedics and it's not actually in that treatment room. The treatment room has a Zenith Travenol unit.
