One of my favourite pass times when watching E! anymore, (because I know each episode so well, that I can lip sync the scripts)is to look for continuity errors. The most regular goof up is in the out of date stock footage used as the Squad comes and goes from Station 51...and the Crown is sitting there...even though it's been long since replaced by the Ward LaFrance. I also can't help noticing every time Engine 8 (which may or may not actually be the old Crown that was once Engine 51)leaves the station following the episode where Johnny worked an overtime shift there...if you look close, you can see Johnny riding in the right rear seat...but how could that be, since he's already on scene, having arrived in the Squad. Or, remember the first time the Ward LaFrance went on a run? Johnny and Roy rode along on the back...it's the only time it happened in the whole series...but the footage got used over and over. The boys will call for the Engine to respond to their location, and the stock footage of Engine 51 leaving the station will quite often be with the boys riding the back. Or how many times have you seen footage some old piece of crap Fargo Squad mixed into an en route sequence. At first I thought it was Squad 10 from the pilot episode...since it was the same model...but Squad 10 in the pilot had a simply flashing light set up on the roof, while the one that's being used in error on these scenes has a light bar. It's likely footage of an actual LACoFD Paramedic Squad.
