Roz, a Loan - S6-E9
Continuity mistake: The bag of beauty products changes, one with a logo and one without.
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: The same mistake happens throughout this scene - Helen has her purse on her arm and then on her shoulder and then back to her arm from shot to shot.
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: Niles and Marty are in the kitchen and Niles is coaching Marty on how to pretend to be Jewish. While they are talking, the lid on the sugar bowl goes from being on properly to being askew, even though no one touched it.
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz - S6-E10
Continuity mistake: The first time Helen and Faye try to leave, Helen tucks her purse under her left arm but in the next shot we see her move the purse from her right to her left arm again.
Continuity mistake: Niles is in the police station talking to Frasier and as he says "What happened?" one hand is holding a coffee cup and the other is on his hip. As the shot changes, both of his hands are on the coffee cup. (00:13:20)
Continuity mistake: During the opening scene in the cafe, Roz is picking up and putting down her coffee & muffin, but all shots from behind show her holding the coffee.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frasier, Martin, and Niles are in the kitchen putting candles on Freddie's birthday cake, you first see the Louis Pasteur cake facing Frasier. The camera pans out and then back in. When it does, the cake has turned around. The camera pans back once more, and the cake is back to its original position.
Our Parents, Ourselves - S6-E12
Continuity mistake: At the end of the restaurant scene, where Frasier, Roz, Martin and Roz's mother are eating, Frasier puts his crumpled-up napkin on one side of his plate, but at the end of the scene it has mysteriously switched to the other side without being moved by anyone.
Our Parents, Ourselves - S6-E12
Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Roz and Frasier are talking in her booth at KCAL. At one point she picks up a pencil and holds it for a couple of shots, but soon it has disappeared with no movement to put it down.
The Show Where Woody Shows Up - S6-E13
Revealing mistake: Frasier and Woody look at the Seattle tourism book, and in particular a photo of the city. However, you can see there may be some text on the page, but there certainly isn't a photo.
Continuity mistake: When Niles goes to take off his pants he looks over at Eddie who is sitting on the right side of the armchair. The next shot shows Eddie getting out of the chair and onto the footstool - however, he is climbing out of the left side and he had no time to shift position. (00:01:55)
Continuity mistake: Niles gets a pair of scissors to snip off a thread on his pants. He puts them on the ironing board, but after he passes out, they are on the credenza behind the couch. Later, they are back on the ironing board. (00:03:00 - 00:04:05)
Continuity mistake: Niles puts the cap of the solvent can on the coffee table but a couple of shots later it has moved about 8 inches away, even though he didn't touch it. (00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: Niles throws a long white cloth over his shoulder and heads for the kitchen. When he reaches the kitchen the cloth is much shorter in back than it was the shot before. (00:04:40)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the scene Niles opens the apartment door and waves his arm; the little white cloth is thrown and lands under him as he faints and hits the floor. Eddie heads for the couch and the shot shows the white cloth on the floor in the hall outside the apartment door. (00:11:20)
Continuity mistake: As Cassandra asks Frasier if he's coming to bed, she lies down on her left side. The next shot shows her lying on her back, even though there was no time to change positions. (00:15:25)
Continuity mistake: In the last scene of this part of the show, where Frasier is trying to figure out if Cassandra is romantically interested in him - he removes his outer clothes and stands in front of her closet. We see his clothes change position several times. Sometimes they are on the back of the chair, sometimes they are on the floor. His shoes also change places. In fact, the shoes appear to move on their own at one point and are pulled tidily to one side.
Continuity mistake: Frazier meets his date (Cassandra) in the restaurant - she places her purse down, and it constantly moves around in different positions while they talk. Sometimes it's to her right, sometimes to her left, and one it is lying on the table with her hand over it.
Continuity mistake: In Cassandra's hotel room, Frasier gets two small bottles of brandy and manages to pour them into separate glasses while holding both bottles. Pretty hard to do. He never puts one down and grips it to open it.
Continuity mistake: If you look closely at the couch in the first scene ("A Valentine for Niles") it is not the same couch used during the rest of the run of Frasier - it looks brand new and it doesn't quite have the same texture or look. It makes sense, as Niles sets fire to the couch at the end of the scene.
Answer: It equals the record of James Arness of "Gunsmoke" for the actor who's played the same part on TV NOT in a soap opera. If you include soaps there are two main contenders - William Roache, who's been playing Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in the UK since 1960. Don Hastings has been playing Robert Hughes in US soap "As the World Turns" since 1960 as well.
