Audit - S2-E21

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.

Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the man trapped at the construction site, there are closeups of the shaky concrete wall that may collapse before they shore it up with 4x4 support beams, but in following closeups of the same angle those support beams they added have vanished, then they reappear.

Trainee - S2-E8

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?

The Promise - S3-E11

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.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Question: The old man that comes in with his wife that can't breathe, the one that the head nurse tries to counsel and tempts him with a cup of coffee. I believe he is Alfred Hitchcock, though his name is not listed anywhere. Alfred Hitchcock is known for his cameo appearances in his own shows and in other shows. Can someone confirm that this is him? This is driving me nuts... It is toward the end of the episode, but I cannot give you times.

Answer: I believe you are speaking of the old man, Mr. Wilson. He's played by J. Pat O'Malley.

Bishop73

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.
