Other mistake: When Roy and Johnny are with the woman whose hand is caught in the mixer, we can see tape on the side of the stand mixer (Sunbeam) as well on the food containers, covering all their brand names.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and John are at the inexperienced cook's apartment the second time, when her fingers are caught in the mixer, she's wearing a blue/white striped dress and a watch on her left wrist, but in the closeup as she reaches for the boiling pot her watch is gone and it's a white sleeve on her arm.
Continuity mistake: When Dixie goes to Brackett's office to discuss Boot's temperature, Dr. Morton's crossed legs go from left over right, to right over left, repeatedly, depending on the shot.
Continuity mistake: After Roy frees the woman's fingers from the mixer, they use the yellow dish towel and she tosses it into the sink, but in the next shot when Johnny suggests serving Mai Tais, the yellow towel is suddenly back in her hands and the white towel is now over Johnny's shoulders.
Continuity mistake: After the explosion at Rampart's lab, Brackett and Dixie head out receiving with two gurneys carrying emergency necessities, Dixie's gurney has light blue trim and Brackett's gurney has a double rod trim at the top, but outside Dixie's blue trim gurney has vanished, hers now has double rods and Brackett's has single rod trim.
Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the 'stove fire' it's nighttime, but when they roll up to the apartment complex it's still daylight.
Continuity mistake: After Station 51 responds to the stove fire and puts it out, the frustrated woman tosses her handbag over her shoulder with the buckle behind her, but in the next shot the handbag has flipped over with buckle at the front.
Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny is bending down while checking on Boot, who's hiding under the bed again, and also as he and Roy walk out of the dorm when Station 51 is dispatched to the 'stove fire', the outline of the lav mic transmitter is visible on the back of Johnny's shirt.
Visible crew/equipment: After Roy and Johnny are dispatched to the woman whose hand is caught in the blender, when they ring the doorbell and then walk to the back door, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible at the back of Johnny's shirt.
Continuity mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the woman whose hair is caught in the meat grinder, time out is 12:34, and right after that quick run they stop by Rampart. Back at the station, after Chet mentions that when they started their shift that morning Boot was fine, they're all dispatched to the gasoline tanker traffic accident, and the time out is 9:18 in the AM. Then the next run Squad 51 responds to is the woman caught in the mixer, and the time out is 15:54.
Visible crew/equipment: When Boot goes missing and 51's guys search for him, Roy finds Boot under the bed in the dorm, and the outlines of Johnny's mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back of his shirt.

Deliberate mistake: At the very end of the episode, Roy and John are walking back to the unit and the driver side mirror appears to be parallel with the unit. The driver would see their own reflection at best.
Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny pull into the parking space near the car with the toddler inside, as the camera moves we see its moving reflection on the side of the car. Then when the woman says "Certainly something's wrong with him, he's unconscious," as the camera pulls back we can see its reflection in the car window. We can also see the reflection of the large location lighting when Johnny tries to unlock the door with a wire hanger.
Other mistake: When Johnny and Roy are with the baby who's sleeping in the back seat of the locked car John says, "The roof is hot, I think the heat might have built up inside," and the bystander says, "Lord knows how long he's been lying in there broiling in the sun," but what's funny is that they're all wearing winter coats and jackets.
Revealing mistake: At the construction accident with the trapped man, when Engine 34 rolls up on scene we can see the red vinyl material adhered to the front of the engine, covering its real company number.
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.
Answer: I believe you are speaking of the old man, Mr. Wilson. He's played by J. Pat O'Malley.

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.
