The Right Thing - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: When Vuselich is lecturing Peter about his medical study, and we see Peter's face, his cap is pulled down over the top of his ears. When the shot is on Vuselich's face, we can now see the tops of Peter's ears. It continues like this for the whole scene.

The Right Thing - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: When Doug is outside with his father, and the shot is on Ray, we can see a lot of snow in the air, but when the camera goes to Doug, there is no snow at all. The snow distribution on his father's coat change from shot to shot as well, too much to happen in only a Split Second.

The Right Thing - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: Susan is at home, making drinks for Mark and her - she pours them drinks from the blender and leaves a little bit of liquid in the blender. They head for the living room and the blender suddenly has about 3 inches of liquid in it.

Baby Shower - S2-E15

Factual error: The majority of the babies that come out are far far too clean. This is particularly noticeable with the 2 twins, where the second one has nothing cleaned off it when it's presented to his mother.

Baby Shower - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Peter is scraping the ice off his windshield, but the scraped pattern we see from inside the car is different from the pattern outside. When the car won't start, he gets out, and more of the windshield has been scraped in the meantime.

The Healers - S2-E16

Plot hole: When Benton and Carter are having to do the surgery on Raoul in the ER after he was burned they are not wearing masks.Dr Greene had just said that the real cause of death in burn victims is infection and not the burns themselves.

Fire in the Belly - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: When Susan knocks on Chloe's door, we see her holding the baby's toy but when the shot goes to Chloe's face, baby Susie is now holding the toy, but it returns to Susan's hand in the next shot. There was no time for any transfer.

Fire in the Belly - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: Susan goes to see the patient Mrs. Garvey - we can see the sticky tape on her right shoulder, but as the scene progresses, her gown is pulled up, covering it - even though no one adjusted it during the scene.

John Carter, M.D. - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: Jerry is eating a hot dog while he talks to Carter. He is holding it with one hand. The shot changes and suddenly he has two hands on it but then the next shot goes back to the first position.

Robert Romano: The operation was a screaming success if your desired outcome was paralysis.

Trivia: Every episode has the patient list by the nurse's station. On the patient list, different names are mentioned, like Marguiles or Tierney. They put these names there as a spoof of the show.
