Script #40604; Episode #4.8; Airdate: 11/9/1974
Writer: Arthur Weiss
Director: Don Richardson
Guest Cast: Mark Spitz, Susy Spitz, Michael Conrad
Story: Tired of Chet's antics, the guys at
the station get their revenge by playing practical jokes of their own. A gun discharges by
accident and injures a pregnant woman, a construction worker caught under a boat refuses
an IV, and a man in a motorcycle accident communicates through his thumb.
Goofs: (1) When Johnny is checking the fetal
heartbeat in the ambulance he is holding the stethoscope backwards. (2) At the
station when Mike and Johnny run back into kitchen after the light gag on Chet, he follows
right behind them in full uniform. When Johnny left him a second before, Chet was in a
t-shirt and not half-done shaving. How did he get dressed so fast? (3) When they arrive at
the hospital with the motorcycle accident victim and his son they show a Suburban
ambulance. When they show the back of the ambulance in the next scene it's a box-type
ambulance.
Tidbits: The boat looks to be the one Universal used during the filming of
"McHale's Navy". It has the same markings, the same number, and the same film
company made both shows.
