Story: Johnny gets "hung up" on an
episode of Adam-12 that is interrupted by a call.
The station rescues a would-be burglar from an air duct and later responds to a fire where
a man is trapped and injured in a radioactive room. An interrupted bar-room
brawl resumes at Rampart. Dr. Brackett treats a woman suffering from a migraine.
A surfer with a bad attitude makes an already difficult night at Rampart even
worse.
Goofs: (1) When Johnny and Roy are leaving
Rampart after freeing the burglar, Johnny wants to go back and ask some patients
about Adam-12,
and Roy reminds him that visiting hours are over. But later, when Johnny and Roy are back
at Rampart getting treated for radiation, you hear a woman over the PA system say that
visiting hours are now over. (2) Where did Roy get the street clothes
from after he re-showers at Rampart (the very end of the episode)? (3) When Brackett first
learns of a possible radiation case, he tells Dixie to prepare three beds. Dixie says that
there's only one patient, and Brackett reminds her that if "they" (Johnny and
Roy) have to go in after him, they'll be exposed, too. That's fine, but why don't any of
the other guys who help rescue the guy have to go to Rampart to get checked out? Okay,
I guess you could say it's because they weren't exposed as long as Johnny and Roy were.
But… Brackett didn't know that would happen when he ordered the 3 beds. (4)
When Gage leaves the "hot room"
he has no gloves on. When he's out of the room talking to the captain they're back on. (5)
Johnny drops his helmet on Chet’s head (maybe on
purpose). (6) In the Adam 12 episode Johnny is stuck on is
"Ambush". Look for Ron Pinkard (Dr. Morton) as a police officer in the actual Adam
12 episode. And of course, there's always the little problem of the
cross-over Adam 12 episode that had Roy and Johnny (as well as Rampart staff) in
it. (7) When the guys are going to go in to free the scientist in
the room full of radiation, they are all outside discussing how they are going
to go in the room. It will be in teams of two at a time for 6 minute intervals
with Cap. Hammer and Kelly being first, then Marco and Mike while John and Roy
are last. When Captain Hammer and
Kelly come out and Mike and Marco go in, Captain Hammer says " Ok Take off you
two." Then Kelly is the only one that goes outside to be decontaminated. When Captain
Hammer makes that statement Mike and Marco are already in the room so who is he directing
this to. Also why doesn't he go out to be decontaminated when he just spent 6 minutes in a
room full of radioactivity.
Tidbits: The Adam-12 episode the guys are watching in
