Writer: Arnold Somkin

Story: Dr. Early is diagnosed with a heart
condition and undergoes a bypass. A pro-football player is embarrassed to admit that his
son tackled him too hard. A boy builds a life-sized rocket. Roy rescues a girl stuck in a
tub.
Goofs: (1) When Dr.
Early has his angiogram, as he is lying on the table, he is seen in the very first shot
with the sheet pulled down mid chest, then in the close up, it is up to his chin, this
happens about 3 more times…down mid chest, up to chin…without any help at all…magical
green surgical sheet!! (2) Johnny locks himself out of the
squad after the bathtub rescue (maybe on purpose). (3) I wanted to point
out a new "goof" for episode "The Hard Hours" from season 3. When Dr Early is
getting ready to be shaved for his heart operation, the EKG leads are on
incorrectly. It should be (going clockwise) White, Black, Red. This was
noticed by my wife Heidi who is a nurse. - Craig
