Emergency!

Gossip - S4-E3

Other mistake: When the tones drop and Station 51 is dispatched to a "man injured", there is a closeup of the guys running from the kitchen into the apparatus bay, heading for the squad and engine, and none of them are actually 51's guys.

Gossip - S4-E3

Other mistake: During the fire at the chemical plant, when Captain Stanley and Roy find the missing man and carry him out, the subtitles read that Johnny says "All right, grab his feet," when in fact it's Captain Stanley who says that - Johnny's not even in the same room with them. Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.

Smoke Eater - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire including a chemical lab, Johnny and Roy put on SCBA tanks with distinctive markings/stickers before going in, but those tanks change while inside and when they exit with the victims of chemical smoke inhalation.

Nagging Suspicion - S4-E4

Revealing mistake: When Johnny, Roy, Vince, and the wounded officer are hiding between the bakery truck and car, before the multiple bullet holes actually appear on the side of the truck, those areas where the holes will show up have off-color markings, prepared for the stunt.

Parade - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: While on the way to the parade in The Old Engine, when Johnny and Roy deal with the fire rescue and reach the roof, Johnny has a rope bundle swung across from his left shoulder to his right hip. However, in the next shot as they run across the roof, the bundle is now swung from his right shoulder to left hip, and the rope is also bundled differently.

Back-Up - S4-E21

The Mouse - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny get back to the station, Johnny asks Chet about the condition of the house after the fire, and in the wide shot Johnny has a really red pimple near his chin, but in his closeup the pimple has vanished, only to reappear in the next shot.

Camera Bug - S4-E10

Visible crew/equipment: At the accident scene with the truck carrying dynamite, when Roy is leaning over the driver's door, the outline of the mic transmitter is visible on the back, right side of his shirt.

The Firehouse Four - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Morton leaves the room of the patient who attempted suicide to get Jack, he takes the pill bottle from Dr. Early, carries the medical chart holder, and is wearing a stethoscope around his neck, but in the hallway when he gets Jack the pill bottle and chart holder are gone, and the stethoscope is in his pocket. Then, when they walk back into the room, Morton's holding the bottle and chart holder, and the stethoscope is back around his neck.

It's How You Play the Game - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: When Johnny is in the ambulance with the car salesman that was bitten by the tiger, Johnny opens the man's shirt, but does not remove his western tie scarf. However, in the man's closeup the tie is open with the scarf slide removed, and then it's back to being tied with the slide.

Prestidigitation - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: When Chet and Marco are hosing the gas meter fire, they are both wearing gloves while handling the hoses. However, after Roy helps Chet up from his stumble, there is a closeup of the hoses and it's a bare hand handling the hose.

Breakdown - S6-E15

Charlie: I think you guys are playing games with me, and I don't like it.
Roy: Now, wait a minute. We're not playing games. We don't play games with the equipment...
Captain Stanley: Wait, hold on. C'mon everybody, look we're all on the same side here, aren't we?
Charlie: I wonder.
Captain Stanley: Charlie, why can't we put the squad in the shop and have us a reserve vehicle here?
Charlie: No, no, Hank. Not until I'm 100% sure that I can't fix it. If there's anything wrong with it. This coffee stinks. [Leaves the room.]
Captain Stanley: You guys playing some kind of joke on him?
John: We didn't make the coffee!
Captain Stanley: Not the coffee, you twit, the squad.
Roy: Cap, there's something wrong with that squad out there.
Captain Stanley: [sigh.] All right, if you say so... I made the coffee.

The Game - S6-E1

Trivia: It's in this episode that the Heimlich Maneuver is used for the first time by the paramedics. At the USC game, when a guy is choking on a hot dog, John and Roy are called, and John uses the Heimlich. Up until season 6 we've seen the guys use other methods, such as the ChokeSaver which look like huge white tweezers, to remove obstructions in an airway, as seen in 4x9, "Foreign Trade."

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.
