Firehouse Quintet - S6-E18

Continuity mistake: During the basketball game against 16, when Chet is finally in The Game at halftime, 51's side of the court is at the right of the screen, but in the closeups of Chet's shot going into the hoop - scoring, we can tell by the wall and backboard that a bunch of his baskets are actually going into the hoop on the other side of the court, behind him.

Continuity mistake: During 51's basketball game against 16, when Chet takes his first shot and makes the basket the scoreboard now shows 51's at 16 and 16's at 30, then Chet makes the second basket, but the scoreboard shows 51's still at 16 and 16's at 32.

Firehouse Quintet - S6-E18

Continuity mistake: At start of episode, when Captain Stanley walks in announcing the upcoming game against 16, the paper he's holding changes hands between shots. Then after Cap sits down, the paper again changes hands between shots. Also notice that after Chet finds Henry's bone behind him in the couch, he gives it to Henry then puts it back behind him again, then gives it to Henry once again.

Firehouse Quintet - S6-E18

Continuity mistake: When Captain Stanley is writing on the board about the practice game at 9:00 am on Thursday, the board was clean before he started writing, then the board is dirty, and by the time he walks away the board is clean around what Cap just wrote, and his handwriting and its position on the board have changed as well.

Continuity mistake: During the basketball game against 16, after the ref tell John that he can't call timeout unless they have the ball, Marco passes to Mike, who passes it to Johnny. When 16 gets the ball the blonde player with blue wristbands shoots, but in the closeup it's a brunette without wristbands who scores the basket. Plus the fact that in the closeup the basket he scores in is the one on the other side of the court, and the next few closeups of 16 scoring baskets are in the opposing team's basket, on the other side of the court.

The Boat - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: In the bookmaker's apartment, while Roy. John, Marco and Chet are working on the bookie who's in full cardiac arrest, Vince walks in and speaks to Captain Stanley. Then Vince, who's wearing a watch and ring on his right arm/hand, reaches for all the ringing telephones, and one by one he removes the receivers from the bases, but the right arm/hand in the closeup has no ring or watch.

The Boat - S6-E19

Other mistake: In the bookie's apartment, on the table with all the telephones, there's a can of scouring cleanser which has the "a" and "x" covered, so all we see is the "ja" on the can, in order to hide its brand name, which is Ajax.

Other mistake: After the explosion occurs in Rampart's basement, when Engines 236 and 73 roll up on scene, we can see the engine companies' numbers are covered up atop their cabs, presumably to conceal the engine companies' real numbers.

The Boat - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are on the Coast Guard helicopter, responding to The Boat wreck with injuries off Catalina, there are a few interior shots of them that are flipped, while they're looking out the windows. The paramedic patches are on their left sleeves, but in the flipped shots the paramedic patches are on their right sleeves.

The Boat - S6-E19

Other mistake: Over the phone the bookie tells Sidney, "I'm having them pains again. I don't feel so good. Would you call some...," then collapses onto the floor. Then Station 51 is dispatched to "Possible heart attack," and the address is given, along with the apartment number 23. After 51 breaks into the bookie's apartment, soon one of the phones ring and Captain Stanley says, "Let me get this straight. Your name's Sidney, and you phoned in the heart attack, right? Now we're getting somewhere. How come you didn't have the address? What's your last name Sidney?" However, 51 was dispatched to the proper address and even the apartment number. Nobody else knew of the heart attack, and the victim did not phone it in.

Revealing mistake: When Dixie's in the basement asking Gary why the lab is still backed up, the next shot shows the plumber working in the cabinet under the sink, but when it cuts to the next shot the plumber is gone, his tool box is closed, things are different/missing from the counters, and the tables and stools have been turned over with a mess all around, before the explosion even occurs.

Continuity mistake: While 51 is breaking into the bookie's apartment, after Chet uses the axe on certain areas of the door he puts the axe down, and in the shot from inside the apartment Chet reaches in through the hole on the door to undo the chain and remove the bar, but when the door opens there's another new axe mark over the top lock that was not made by Chet.

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 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.

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 in the 1970s TV show S.W.A.T. As for the actor on the left, I recognize his face and voice, but I can't recall from what.
