Emergency!

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Continuity mistake: At the structure fire, when Roy and Johnny rescue the man in room 22 by breaking the window, the door to room A is right beside them and we can see the axe mark on the door and the damage to the wall. When Johnny and Roy go back through the window to look for the missing Dr. Bennis, as Johnny uses the K-12, the door to room A now has many more axe marks and the damaged wall is far less damaged.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When Morton and Early are examining the guy with stomach pain and cramps, Morton's stethoscope is around his neck with the earpiece at his left and the chestpiece to his right, but in the closeup it's the opposite way around, then it's back to the original way.

Computer Terror - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: While Johnny and Roy are with Dixie at the nurses' station, when Johnny looks for his paycheck in his shirt pockets, his right pocket's flap stays wonky, part in/part out in the closeup, but in the wide shot it's properly flat, then crooked, then straight again. Additionally, after Johnny finds the check in his wallet, he puts it into his left shirt pocket and points at Roy with his empty right hand, but when Early walks over Johnny has that check in right hand.

Computer Terror - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: During the scaffold rescue, when John climbs onto the platform he takes off his gloves as he starts to check the victim, but in the wide shot the stuntman is still wearing his gloves as he checks the victim.

The Game - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: In the ER staff lounge, when Early and Dixie are watching The Game, there are five books lying on the TV with all their binding facing the right side in the closeups, but in the wide shots the books are facing the opposite way, with binding facing the left.

The Game - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: When the injured photographer is brought to the ER, Dix says treatment 7 and we see them heading into 7's door (which is around the corner from treatment 4 and 5, and has no color lines that run past its door) in the shot from the hallway. However, in the next shot from inside the treatment room, we can see they're not in treatment 7, but actually in treatment 4, note the red, green, and yellow lines on the hallway floor in front of its doorway, and treatment 7 has no lines that run past its doorway. When Dixie, Early, and Brackett step into the hallway it's even more obvious.

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.

All Night Long - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When the woman from the car accident is in the ER, and goes into V-fib, Brackett, Morton, Roy and Johnny work on her. Johnny does chest compressions and they defib three times, then Morton takes over the chest compressions, but when Brackett is about to defib the fourth time we see Johnny's arms stopping the compressions, when in fact it was Morton doing them at that time.

Limelight - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: After watching Brice's interview on TV, all the guys sit down at the table to eat dinner, and there is one jar of mustard on the table. When Roy smears mustard on his bun, Chet motions for the mustard with his eyes and Roy slides it over to him to use, but in the next few shots the open jar of mustard is either in front of Roy or Chet, depending on the angle of the shot. The milk container keeps switching places as well.

Loose Ends - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: When the police officer has chest pains, DeSoto places the ECG electrode discs onto his chest. In the close-ups, the right disc has a black lead head, but otherwise the right disc has a white lead head.

That Time of Year - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: Just before Engine 51 and Squad 51 arrive at the scene of the hang gliding incident, there's a long shot of the victims lying injured on the side of the cliff, and when the camera zooms out we see Johnny and Roy with the informant of the accident standing at the top of the cliff, even though Squad 51 hasn't actually arrived at the scene yet. That same shot is shown a minute later after they all arrive, when Roy says that he'll get some equipment.

Family Ties - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the 'traffic accident with people trapped', time out is 10:23, but when Roy takes the man's blood pressure his watch reads 9:00, and when Johnny's on the Biophone with Rampart his watch reads 11:25. Then when John gives Rampart the second set of vitals, his watch reads 2:20.

All Night Long - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are on their lines attempting to rescue the unconscious game show contestant wannabe, before they're able to get the pompier life belt around the man's waist, the belt falls to the ground and lands near the man's cape and broken balancing pole. However, when the ambulance attendants walk towards the building, in the overhead shot the life belt has vanished; only the cape and broken pole are lying on the ground.

All Night Long - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Station 51 is dispatched to the 'man down', time out is 21:30, but when Johnny and Roy are at Mr. Jefferson's apartment, Johnny's watch reads 3:05. Back at the station, when Chet's sitting beside Johnny at the typewriter, Johnny's watch reads 5:15, but at Rampart it's after 2:00 when Mr. Jefferson has the bypass operation. When Station 51 is dispatched to the car accident, time out is 1:50, but when Johnny checks the woman's pupils, his watch reads 1:00, and when they're back at the station his watch reads 10:05, as Johnny tells Roy that the show is crazy.

All Night Long - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Early and Dr. Morton are in the treatment room with Mr. Jefferson, Morton's stethoscope is draped over his shoulder with the ear tubes at his back in the wide shots, but in the closeup the ear tubes are lying in front.

Super Grover

All Night Long - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are in the apartment, just as Mr. Jefferson mentions that Shorty brought in hot tractors, it cuts to a closeup of Roy who is not wearing a stethoscope, but in the next shot the stethoscope is suddenly around Roy's neck.

Breakdown - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny get to the address in the canyon that has overgrown weeds and shrubs, in violation of county ordinance, Johnny is empty-handed when they knock on the front door, but when they're told to come in Johnny is now holding the large fire-code violation ticket booklet.

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.

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 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.

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.
