Visible crew/equipment: When Chet, Roy, and Johnny are with the mother and child at the scene of the vehicle accident, the reflections of location set array lights, four side-by-side reflector screens with some crew members holding them and the camera/cameraman are all visible in the window and surface of the funeral home hearse, as it arrives and then pulls to the side of the road.

School Days - S2-E14
Visible crew/equipment: When Chet is driving the crane at the wrecking yard, just as we hear Captain Stanley say, "Swing it in," we see Marco standing atop the cars, with the moving crane in front of Marco. The position of the camera is at the back of the pile of cars, and there is an outstretched hand at the top of the screen blocking the glare for the camera, which is tilting upwards.

Emergency! (1972)
Revealing mistake: At the start of the episode, in the closeup shot of Chet, Roy, and Johnny as they're talking about their trip, we can see the Land Rover hood's base plate where the vehicle's spare tire is supposed to be mounted, but the tire isn't there because of the mounted camera facing the actors in the vehicle. In other shots the spare tire is properly mounted on the Land Rover's hood.

Emergency! (1972)
Visible crew/equipment: After Roy and Johnny pick up supplies at the nurses' station, they walk down the hallway and stop midway to talk about Johnny's insomnia. After speaking a few moments, Johnny and Roy head for the exit, so the camera follows them without cutting away, and when a father and son enter the hospital the camera turns, without cutting away, and follows them up the hallway. Just before the father and son reach the nurses' station, the actors' two black tape mark are visible on the floor behind them, precisely where Roy and Johnny had been speaking.

Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and John are in The Boat with the victim of the explosion, the ambulance arrives and just as it passes by we are able to see a nice reflection of crew members, location set's 9-bank array lighting, reflector screens, a ladder and other equipment.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are at the construction site with the guy who wants to jump, before Roy walks over to him we see the pompier belt around Johnny's waist has the carabiner hook to his left and the double tongue buckles to his right. Then when Captain Stanley tells Johnny to try and get to the guy from the other side, Johnny's belt is now around his waist the opposite way. In the following shots his life belt flips around a couple more times. Note that their pompier belts have at one side double leather straps which are the two tongue buckles, and the other side has a single strap of leather for the attached carabiner hook.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: When Squad 51 and then Engine 51 are dispatched to the hotel fire, before going in Johnny's SCBA cylinder has a large arrow sticker and Roy's has a large red sticker, but once inside Roy's air cylinder goes back and forth from having an arrow sticker to the red sticker. Then in a few moments, when Marco and Chet go in with the stokes, both of their air cylinders are tall, flat-top and devoid of stickers, but inside their SCBA cylinders are short, round-top and keep switching from having either an arrow or large red stickers.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are with the boy who is trapped on the crane, Johnny buckles the life belt around the boy's waist, and in the following shots the belt's direction flips around to the opposite way repeatedly. Note its stitched leather and tongue buckles.

Peace Pipe - S2-E5
Visible crew/equipment: Just after the drunk driver is loaded onto the ambulance, when Roy tells Johnny about Debbie's pulse and respiration, and that she's in bad shape, then also when Roy tells Captain Stanley to make it quick, a crew member sitting atop a ladder with set lighting beside him are visible in the background.

Emergency! (1972)
Visible crew/equipment: When the boy who was shot by a pellet gun is wheeled into the treatment room, at the start of the next shot there is a closeup of the domed surgical light fixture, which provides a reflection of crew and equipment, albeit upside-down.

Cook's Tour - S1-E4
Visible crew/equipment: At the construction site, when Roy and Johnny walk across the tower crane's main jib, there's a shot of the entire top of the crane, and we can see the cameraman at the tower peak, who is shooting the footage of the stunt guys from the overhead angle. He wasn't in the previous long shot of the crane. This does not refer to the officer who is standing on the main jib.

Emergency! (1972)
Visible crew/equipment: When Dixie tells the attendants to wheel Ruthie, the woman who went berserk at the salon, into the treatment room where Dr. Early's waiting, there are two T-marks visible on the floor at Dixie's and Johnny's feet.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: When the guys of Station 51 are dealing with the rescue of the doctor from the radioactive lab, Johnny's, Chet's, and Marco's SCBA cylinders change during this scene while they're all wearing them. Differences such as tall, slim, with a flat top vs short, wide, with a rounded top, and also the writing on the tanks. Marco's even changes between shots, when he exits the lab's doorway.

Cook's Tour - S1-E4
Revealing mistake: After Squad 51 is dispatched to the 'electrocution in a house', while Johnny goes to the garage to turn off the power, Roy waits at the doorway to go inside to the victim. In this interior shot facing the doorway, we see what is supposed to be the brick chimney at the side of the house next door, and the top of that set is visible. Plus the fact that this chimney is not nearly as deep as the one they passed by in the exterior shot.

Emergency! (1972)
Other mistake: In the interior shots of Station 51 (the studio set), when facing the rear apparatus bay door, the right wall has a door to Captain Stanley's office, a very large map, the radio receiver base station where they respond to dispatch, the kitchen doorway, and a double-door closet, that's it. However, when Station 51 is shown in the exterior shots (the real Station 127 aka 51), as either the engine or squad exits when the apparatus bay door is up, we see that the right wall has many more doors on that wall. Additionally, the opposite wall on the set has only two doors - one to locker room/bathroom, and one to the dorm, however at the real 127's, that wall has three doors - two of them are to the dorm.

17 Again (2009)
Continuity mistake: When Mike walks into Health class, Mrs. Dell's lectern and stool (upon which the basket of condoms and another basket sit) stand directly in front of the chalkboard, but funny how they are both conveniently gone when Mike knocks Stan to the floor, in front of that chalkboard. (00:44:45 - 00:47:25)

17 Again (2009)
Continuity mistake: After Mike and Ned fight with lightsabers, when they are in the kitchen Mike's wedding ring moves from his left hand to his right hand and back again, depending on the angle of the shot. (00:21:05)

17 Again (2009)
Visible crew/equipment: After Mike and Alex get home, when Scarlet walks in and asks Alex how the tryouts went, the tape mark is visible on the floor in front of Alex, while he's sitting. (Visible on fullscreen version.)

Pressure 165 - S5-E7
Continuity mistake: While Johnny and the doctor are in the pressurized chamber with the diver, the guy outside the chamber tells them that they're at 165 and vetting, as he holds the mic up to his mouth with his left hand, but when it cuts to the interior shot, the mic is held up in his right hand.
