Captain Hook - S6-E8
Other mistake: When John, Roy, and Chet are standing near the stove talking about how much they enjoyed Hookrader's party, there's a can of cleaning powder which has tape swirled around the can to hide the recognizable design and its brand name, which is Ajax.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire, just as Roy and Johnny start heading upstairs we see footage from 4x3, "Gossip," when Johnny brings the hose to the stairs at the chemical fire, but the line doesn't reach so he leaves the hose at the bottom step, and they continue up.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: During the structure fire, when Engine 98 rolls up we can see the large red vinyl adhered to the top of the engine's cab. Then, when Truck 106 rolls up we see its company number 106 on the door, but in the overhead shot we can see the number 8 on the roof of the cab, not 106. This presumably means that the door has one of the prop dept's magnetic decals imprinted with 106, and the roof still shows the Truck company's real number.

Camera Bug - S4-E10
Other mistake: While Roy and John are at 68's, Roy goes to the stove to see what Bob was cooking when he started having pain, and the closeup footage we see of the pot of bubbling chilli is the same as some of the footage of Chet's chilli in 4x1, "The Screenwriter," when 'Miss October' stops by the station.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: During the rescue at the top of the open drawbridge, in the shots of Engine 2 we can see the red, vinyl material with the company number imprinted on it, adhered to the front of the engine.
24th Jun 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: All the guys are sitting around the table in the day room discussing how smart kids are, and when the tones drop we hear the dispatcher say, "Squad 51 possible assault victim," yet all the guys from the engine company rush off and head to the rig in the apparatus bay, even though only Roy and John were called.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When John and Roy treat the 12 year old boy in anaphylactic shock, Early states, "Start IV D5W, 1 milligram epinephrin IV push," and John confirms the order. Then after giving Rampart a new set of vitals which are poor, Early orders, "Add 50 milligrams Benadryl IV push." But when John confirms that order he only says, "1 milligram epinephrine IV push," (which is the earlier order) and Early actually okays John's incorrect repeat of the order, even though John did not confirm the order of "50 milligrams Benadryl."

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Johnny brings the officer who was shot into the ER, as soon as he's loaded onto the gurney Carol takes his BP then tells Brackett his BP, but she also tells him that his pulse is 120, even though she never took his pulse. Additionally, when Morton places the blood vials on the tray and tells the nurse, "I want this sent to the lab STAT, type and cross match, and CBC and differentials STAT," due to the urgency of the situation, but the nurse doesn't leave, she just stands for the rest of the scene.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: During the paint factory fire, when Engine 2 rolls up, we can see the red, large, rectangular vinyl material that is adhered to the front of the engine, with the company number printed on it. There's also vinyl material adhered to the top of the cab as well as the back of the engine with nothing on it, presumably covering the engine company's real number.
22nd Jun 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the possible heart attack, while Chet’s at the base station responding to the dispatcher, the lightbar atop Squad 51 has nothing covering the chrome, but en route in the close up there's black tape covering much of the chrome trim.
22nd Jun 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Squad 51 and the engine company arrive at the rock quarry, in the shot after John tells Jason to get the HT, just as Roy, Captain Stanley and Mike walk towards the right side of the screen, something drops down from the top of the screen, enough to cover the top left corner of the screen area, then gets pulled back up.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Tommy's on the ledge, and Roy and John are on the aerial ladder, just as Tommy jumps off the ledge and Roy catches him, we can see the young actor happy and grinning as he's being caught by Kevin Tighe, but within the very serious storyline of a 7 year old boy jumping from a ledge, looking "empty, tired and giving up", this doesn't fit. Obviously the young actor thought it was great fun to do a stunt like that.

The Promise - S3-E11
Other mistake: At the very end, when Roy is cleaning the windshield while John's fiddling with the squad’s radio mic, the spray can on the hood of the squad has tape covering the brand name.
20th Jun 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: When Dixie's on the phone with the suicide attempt, Dixie tells her the date of her own birthday, hoping to get the caller's birthday in return. Then when the caller tells Dixie that the month of her birth is February, while Brackett's listening, they don't contact Early who's with the senior data analyst with that crucial information to help narrow down her identity faster, which was the whole point of Dixie trying to get that information from her.
20th Jun 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: During the fire at the horse ranch, when Engine 40 rolls up we can see that the engine company's number is covered atop the cab, and the large, red rectangular vinyl material that's adhered to the back of the engine with nothing on it. Presumably covering the real engine company's number.

How Green Was My Thumb? - S3-E17
Other mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the fire at the winery, just as Squad 51 rolls up, in this semi-closeup we can see that it's Roy driving and exiting the squad, and also that it's actually Randolph Mantooth's double exiting the squad and getting the drug box from the side compartment. Also fun to note the difficulty the double had just opening the squad's door.

Emergency! (1972)
Heavyweight - S3-E5
Other mistake: When Chet is preparing the lasagna, then tells Johnny that he's preparing 'rutabaga delight' especially for him, the green container of parmesan cheese has tape covering the brand name, though it looks like it's the Kraft brand.
18th Jun 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Cook's Tour - S1-E4
Other mistake: When Johnny and Roy visit the woman they assisted in delivery, they go through the ER's double doors opposite receiving, as if heading upstairs to her room, and soon she even comments that the baby was brought up to her from the ER. Then, when the guys leave her room, Roy pushes open the door on the right, and we can see the ER's treatment 5 and the silver cabinets right up the hallway, so we know that Roy and John were actually in the room just off to the side of the nurses' station in the ER.
3rd Jun 2014
Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: In the bookie's apartment, on the table with all the telephones, there's a can of scouring cleanser which has the "a" and "x" covered, so all we see is the "ja" on the can, in order to hide its brand name, which is Ajax.
