Visible crew/equipment: When Station 51 is being dispatched to 'man down' at the hotel, in the overhead shot of the apparatus bay as the guys are getting into the rigs, the reflection of moving production equipment can be seen on Engine 51's windshield.
Visible crew/equipment: After Chet gives Johnny the idea about the TV show, when Chet stands up to leave the kitchen the top of the set is visible at the right corner.
Visible crew/equipment: After Dr. Early tells Mr. Jefferson that he knows who he is, it cuts to Johnny at the table with the typewriter, and the shiny chrome surface of the coffee pot reflects multiple set lights.
Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Johnny is knocked unconscious by the explosion, when the Pasadena fireman finds him and has to lift him up, it's funny how even though Johnny's unconscious we can see that he actually helps to stand himself up, so the fireman can lift him up and carry him out.
Roy: I think you're on some sort of an ego trip, Ed. And in my book that makes you a very dangerous character. Ed: [Laughs.] Ego trip, huh? Well, I didn't realize that psychiatry was part of the paramedic's training. Roy: Oh that's good, Ed, you be funny. But that isn't gonna change anything. You wanna know what I figure? Well, I figure when you were working in Vietnam, it was rough. So rough you started playing over your head. And you were making it, you were doing real good. Considering it was a combat situation. And pretty soon you started getting all blown up about how Ed Marlowe is just as good as the real doctors. And you've been living on that ever since. And the trouble is, Ed, you are good. Except for two little problems. You can't quit competing with real doctors. And you can't face being wrong. You see, those people we treat out there, I mean the people we work for, the people who pay for this whole operation, they're real people, Ed, with real problems. And they have a right to expect more than just being used by you for some sort of trip. [Completely exasperated.] I guess what I'm trying to say to you, Ed, is that in my book you're just plain unprofessional. [Ed walks out.] John: Do you think it did any good? Roy: Do you?
Trivia: During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.
