Not Available - S6-E2

Other mistake: When all the guys are sitting around the table discussing the paramedic problem, while Chet is looking in the fridge for the ketchup, we can see the milk containers on the door have their brand names covered.

Not Available - S6-E2

Other mistake: While Roy's in the ambulance with the woman who fainted, when she holds out the bag of potato chips, we can see the large brand name on the front of the bag is covered with red tape in two places. Though they neglected to cover the small 'Lays' brand name on the side of the bag.

Not Available - S6-E2

Other mistake: At the start, while Johnny is cleaning the oven, we can see that the oven cleaner spray can has tape covering its brand name, and anything else on the can that gives away the name of the brand.

The Game - S6-E1

Other mistake: The USC game that Roy and Johnny are assigned to is supposed to be a sold-out game, but in closeup shots of the crowd around the guys, we can see that around the small crowd of extras used during the shoot, the seats are empty.

Family Ties - S6-E16

Other mistake: Before the fire in the patient's room, which is caused by liquid shorting out the clock radio, we can see the tape covering the brand names of the baby powder and the clock radio.

Paper Work - S6-E11

Other mistake: When the little boy is stuck in the storm drain with the rushing water from the broken hydrant, Johnny climbs into the manhole and is submerged up to his shoulders in water while dealing with the boy, but when they lift the boy out and lay him on the grass, Johnny is quite dry except for some wet patches on his shirt.

Captain Hook - S6-E8

Other mistake: When Roy and Johnny rescue the deputy from the wrecked chopper that sank in the water, they emerge from the water soaked from head to toe, but when they are pulled to the top of the cliff, Johnny and Roy are both completely dry except for a few small wet patches on their shirts.

Upward and Onward - S6-E22

Other mistake: When Johnny, Roy, and the cardiac patient are stuck in the stalled elevator with smoke in the shaft, Captain Stanley notifies dispatch that he wants a full first-alarm assignment, and we then see Engine 8 pulling out of their bay and heading to their run. The problem here is that this shot of Engine 8 is from the episode "Equipment" in season 5, when Johnny was doing overtime with Station 8, and we can actually see Johnny sitting on Engine 8 as it drives by.

Loose Ends - S6-E12

Other mistake: At the fire in the freight yard, Captain Stanley asks the dispatcher to respond a second-alarm assignment, and then we see Engine 8 pulling out of their apparatus bay and driving down the street. The problem is that this particular shot of Engine 8 is from season 5, episode "Equipment", when Johnny was doing some overtime at Station 8, and we can actually see Johnny sitting on Engine 8.

Limelight - S6-E24

Other mistake: When Roy and Johnny are waiting in the staff lounge for Dr. Morton, Johnny opens the newspaper's sport's section and sees Brice's picture. In the page's close-up, two paragraphs in two unrelated articles are the same, and they also have nothing to do with the title of the articles. The first paragraph begins, "Thus at this conference all our governments..." and the second begins, "Of no less importance was the common recognition..."

Fair Fight - S6-E5

Other mistake: Squad 51 is dispatched to the fighting couple three different times, and we hear the dispatcher give the address cross street as "Valleyheart," but all three times the subtitles read, "Valley Park." Subtitles from Universal Studios 2010 DVD.

Captain Hook - S6-E8

Other mistake: As the fire apparatus are leaving the station for the helicopter rescue, the shot from the front shows doors at the back of the building but when they are leaving it shows a brick wall at the back of the building.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: When Station 54 are leaving for the "aircraft down" rescue, in the exterior long shot from across the street (of the real Station 127), we are not seeing the apparatus bay with a head-on frontal view. The camera is positioned so that viewers see the apparatus bay at an angle, and we are only able to see the very long interior left brick wall, with the doors to locker room/bathroom and the dorm. The back of the building with the rear roll-up door is simply not visible at this particular angle.

Super Grover

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 Mouse - S4-E20

Question: The old man that comes in with his wife that can't breathe, the one that the head nurse tries to counsel and tempts him with a cup of coffee. I believe he is Alfred Hitchcock, though his name is not listed anywhere. Alfred Hitchcock is known for his cameo appearances in his own shows and in other shows. Can someone confirm that this is him? This is driving me nuts... It is toward the end of the episode, but I cannot give you times.

Answer: I believe you are speaking of the old man, Mr. Wilson. He's played by J. Pat O'Malley.

Bishop73

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
