Emergency!

The Bash - S4-E14

Visible crew/equipment: When Roy, John, and Vic are inside stage 3 trying to outrun Charlene, Roy starts climbing down the first ladder, and we can see equipment moving right beside Roy, then when Roy climbs back up and they find the second ladder, more movement can be seen at the bottom of the screen.

The Bash - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: After Roy and Vic run out of Stage 3, when Johnny backs up and bends down, we can see Charlene, the bear, on all fours, then in the next shot the bear is walking on her hind legs toward the door, but in the next shot from behind Johnny the bear is still on all fours and further back again.

Drivers - S2-E13

Audio problem: When Roy and John are with the unconscious man during the fire at the Atlas Hotel, Chet and Marco bring the stokes and Chet tells them that the fire is getting worse, and when Roy responds, "If we move him now we're gonna lose him," we see that Roy continues talking as Chet listens to him, but we hear nothing.

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: At the structure fire, before Roy and Johnny go back through the window to look for the missing doctor, Johnny's and Roy's SCBA cylinders have no stickers, but when Johnny's cutting the door, his tank now has two white stickers and Roy's tank has one on the side, then when they're back outside the stickers are gone.

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: When John and Roy get back to the station and the other guys tell them to check the dog to see if he's sick, in the shot facing the dog he's lying on the middle couch cushion, but in the shot facing the guys he's lying on the corner couch cushion.

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Character mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the fighting couple the first time timeout is 10:12, and the second call to that house timeout is 12:37. When Roy and John are there the first time, it's for no more than five minutes. Then when they're there the second time, Roy says "Please folks, we just went through this less than an hour ago," though it was over two hours when they left the fighting couple the first time.

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny get back to the station, after the cave-in rescue, the dog is lying on the couch on the middle cushion, between Mike and Marco, but in Henry's closeup Mike is gone, and the right side of the couch is empty, then Mike's back, but he vanishes and reappears again.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Revealing mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the hang gliding accident with two men trapped on a cliff, as the squad and engine roll out of the bay, we can see the real 127's vehicle is still parked in the apparatus bay, near the rear door.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Visible crew/equipment: When the self-defense instructor is teaching the class, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on the front of his shirt, particularly when he tells the ladies, "Here's a little bit of judo that you'll all be learning too."

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When dispatched to singles club fire, Engine 51 pulls into the parking lot, and there's a shot of Mike hooking up the supply line to the hydrant, with Marco at the side of the engine, but it cuts back to Engine 51 in the lot again, with Mike behind the wheel and Marco sitting in the jump seat, and there is no supply line hooked up, then the engine drives further into the lot.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: At the singles club fire, after Roy and Johnny go in to look for the missing man, we see Mike charging the lines, then there's a shot of two of 16's guys walking past the stairway with a hose, and notice that on the stairway we can see Johnny's and Roy's legs heading down the stairs. This same shot is shown again after Roy and Johnny check the men's room upstairs, and once again we see Roy and John coming down the stairs when 16's guys walk past them.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Visible crew/equipment: When Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire, just as Engine 51 rolls out of the apparatus bay, the reflections of the location shoot's array lighting and two reflector screens are visible on the side of the engine.

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?

More trivia for Emergency!

Show generally

Question: In quite a few episodes of Emergency there is a character that the doctors and other nurses call Nurse Carol. She is the older nurse with dark hair. I would say she is on at least a fourth of all episodes in all seasons yet I can not see this actress getting credited or listed as uncredited anywhere. I wonder if she was an actual nurse. Does any one know who she was. Yes there also were a couple of other actresses who played a nurse named Carol on one or two episodes and they are listed in the episode guides. She also is the patient with her arm in the cast talking to Dr. Morton in the episode 6:18 Firehouse Quintet.

Answer: On IMDB, actress Anne Schedeen is listed as playing Nurse Carol on six episodes from 1974-76.
