Emergency!

Fools - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: At the refinery fire, when Johnny and Roy are on the tower with the collapsed worker, Roy throws the line down to Truck 127's Snorkel for their gear, and as Roy pulls it up, the gear is tied up quite differently depending on the angle of the shot.

Fools - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: When Kent (Bobby Sherman) is ready to leave Station 51, the guys are about to sit down to dinner and the table is full of food, plates, cups, utensils, etc, but when the tones drop for the refinery fire and everyone rushes into the apparatus bay, the table is seen behind them and it's bare. Also, the order in which the guys run out of the kitchen is completely different, depending on the angle of the shot.

Inferno - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Dixie has her hand caught in the coffee dispensing machine, Roy gets it free, and when she pulls her hand out all of her nails on that hand are very short in the closeup, but in following shots her nails are quite long, as usual.

Propinquity - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: When the victims are loaded onto the second ambulance with Roy, after the original ambulance was hit by the car, we can see the license plate, Z99977, as Johnny closes the back doors. Then while en route to Rampart, the ambulance's make/model changes with plate, Z99953, then the make/model changes yet again, but still has the same plate, Z99953.

Inventions - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is on site at the major chemical leak, Roy and Johnny are wearing SCBA tanks that have distinctive markings/stickers, and their tanks change while they search, locate and rescue the worker.

The Hard Hours - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are in the basket with the man who was electrocuted by a power line, they are atop three more power lines. Chet and Mike cut the two outer lines and only the center line remains, but in the closeup of the basket there are still three power lines under the basket.

The Hard Hours - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: After Dr. Early fixes the squad's engine problem, while Roy is driving we see a two-way radio mounted at the top of the dashboard, just past the steering wheel. When the dispatcher calls on Squad 51 to respond, there's a closeup of the Motorola two-way radio/Interceptor units which are mounted under the dash (near gas pedal), and Johnny lifts this mic, but then we see that he's speaking on the mic from the top of the dash. Additionally, in those two closeups of the two-way radio, we can see the gas pedal, but Roy's foot is nowhere to be seen, even though the squad has been moving all along.

The Promise - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny try to subdue the out-of-control patient on Rampart's ledge, after Brackett tells them that he'll go to x-ray right away, Roy's helmet is off, but in the overhead shot it's on his head, then in the next shot Roy puts it on his head.

The Promise - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the people trapped in the house, Johnny and Roy clear away all the tumbleweeds from the front door, but in the next shot facing the door there is another huge tumbleweed in front of it.

Zero - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are climbing the aerial ladder to get to the boy on the ledge, in the overhead long shot we see down below that the Biophone and drug box are placed on the ground, right beside 85's captain. Then later, after the boy tries to jump, the captain instructs one of his men to go get the paramedics' Biophone and drug box, even though we saw them already placed there awhile ago.

Zero - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: After rescuing the young boy from the structure fire, when Roy and Johnny are stopped by a reporter with a camera crew and asked questions, the boy is standing behind Roy, then between shots the boy is standing in front of Roy.

Zero - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: At the structure fire with the trapped young boy, when Johnny and Roy enter the building Johnny's SCBA tank is all yellow - no stickers, and Roy's tank has a white sticker and a red sticker, but in the following shots looking for the boy until they exit the building, their tanks keep on changing.

To Buy or Not to Buy - S5-E14

Other mistake: On scene at the traffic accident, when the woman and the boy with non-serious injuries are seated at the back of the ambulance, neither Roy or Johnny are going along with them to Rampart, yet Johnny puts the drug box inside the back of the ambulance with them, and the ambulance drives off. With their drug box! Captain Stanley even says that he'll advise dispatch that they're available for a run at the scene, while the guys will be looking for the dog.

School Days - S2-E14

Question: Who are the two baseball players that walk up to the nurses' station to talk about their teammate and discuss his relationship status with his girlfriend to Dixie?

Answer: I was rewatching a few first season episodes of Charlie's Angels (1976), and in S1xE6 "The Killing Kind," I recognized the same actor. So, to finally fully answer your question, the two baseball players in School Days are played by Rod Perry and Sean Fallon Walsh.

Super Grover

Answer: I took a screenshot of the two actors, with Rod Perry on the right (https://imgur.com/GCW1myD). Hopefully someone will know the name of the actor on the left. Both actors are uncredited in the episode's credits.

Super Grover

Answer: The guy on the right is actor, Rod Perry. Two years later he played Deacon on the 1970s TV show S.W.A.T. (and now I'm humming its theme song). As for the actor on the left, I recognize his face and voice, but I can't recall from what.
