An Ounce of Prevention - S6-E13

Corrected entry: As Roy and the stagehand are bringing in the equipment to treat the shock victim Engine 51 rolls into the scene. Not enough time has passed for the engine to respond. They haven't even started treating the victim yet.

Correction: First, Cap and other guys at Station 51 were watching the live TV show, then heard the explosion happen live, so Engine 51 rolled out immediately and notified dispatch. Second, we don't know how far the set of the Tom Jensen Show is from Station 51. It cannot be a plot hole since we don't have the necessary information. All we know is Roy and John were cleared for 90 minutes. Third, when Jensen tells his live audience, "What you're witnessing is remarkable" John has already begun treating the victim with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, while Roy and Jensen's guy go to wherever Squad 51 is parked outside, to get the stowed paramedic supplies. Then the shot dissolves (we don't know how much time goes by - 2, 3 minutes?) and cuts to Engine 51 arriving on scene, as Roy and Jensen's guy return with all the gear.

Engine 51 cannot just roll out since they saw it live. If they were the closest to the show, they would need to be dispatched to the fire. As we don't know where the show is, there may be another station closer.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Johnny is knocked unconscious by the explosion, when the Pasadena fireman finds him and has to lift him up, it's funny how even though Johnny's unconscious we can see that he actually helps to stand himself up, so the fireman can lift him up and carry him out.

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.

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.
