Continuity mistake: While Frasier and Martin are in the living room talking about Frasier's offer to pay for the wedding, his blue bottle of water moves from one end of Marty's little table to the other.
Continuity mistake: When Marty comes into the living room, he puts the container of jerky down on top of the book on the right side of the coffee table. A few minutes later, when Donny takes a piece, the container is on top of the book on the left side of the table. No one went near it in the meantime.
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning , Daphne is talking to Frasier about her mother. As she says "she did bite through a kitchen spoon", her hand is up on her stomach, but in the next shot it's on her hip, with no time for a shift in position.

Continuity mistake: When Marty comes into the living room and says, "Man, they got you good", Frasier has his cup and saucer in his hand. When the shot changes, though, the cup and saucer are sitting on the table, a few inches away from his hand.
Radio Wars - S7-E3

Radio Wars - S7-E3
Continuity mistake: Similar errors occur in two different scenes: in the first breakfast scene, the coffee pot is sitting on the table but in the next shot Daphne is pouring herself a cup, with no time for her to have naturally picked it up. Later in another scene, Niles is there for breakfast, picks up the pot, and pours himself some coffee. In the next shot, the pot is on the table, again without enough time for him to have put it back.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Poppy are sitting on his couch having a drink, the level in the wine bottle goes down and up and down throughout the scene, with no logical reason.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier first meets Poppy, she says something like "but not in the brewery thank you very much." When she does this you can see she's holding her hand out in front, in the next shot it's by her side instantly.
Continuity mistake: When Poppy is just about to start her show and is being emotional with everyone, Roz is standing at the door with a corded phone to her ear throughout the scene. She yells "Ten seconds." and the shot shows the phone, cord and all, has completely disappeared.
Audio problem: When Frasier is in the hall explaining to Kenny and Gil why Poppy has her own show, we can see Poppy through the glass of the door. She is supposed to be doing her show, and we can hear the audio in the background. However, it is obvious that Poppy is not talking at all - she is sitting perfectly still with a very blank look on her face.
Continuity mistake: Frasier is sitting on his couch with Poppy, dropping hints about having an arts show on KACL - she has her hands folded on her knee. As Daphne says "he means your mother", the shot changes, and Poppy is suddenly holding a glass of wine, with no time for this to have happened.
Continuity mistake: Poppy is sitting in Frasier's chair in his booth and as she says "all these buttons, how do you do it?", she slaps her hand down on the console. As he begins to answer her, the hand is back in her lap.
Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the episode when Poppy is airing her first "arts in Seattle" show, Frasier, Kenny, and Gil convene in the hall outside Frasier's booth to talk. Right after Gil speaks during Frasier's monologue beginning with "I assure you, she is way over her depth here...", viewers can see Poppy through the window sitting at the booth with her mouth closed, looking around (and even up at the ceiling), appearing to be waiting. A split second later, the camera cuts to Poppy in mid-sentence during her live broadcast.
The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: When Bulldog gets back to the kitchen table after closing the door on Roz's date Ted, there is a large blue casserole dish sitting there - it wasn't there when he went to answer the door. Roz had been hiding the whole time, so she didn't put it there.
The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5

The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: When Bulldog knocks on Frasier's door, Frasier is sitting on the couch with his arm on the back. In the next shot it is down in his lap as he says "will you get that?" to Niles, but in the next shot it is up on the back of the couch again.
The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: Roz and Bulldog are sitting on her couch, talking about Baby Alice. Roz has her arms folded in front of her, but in the next shot she is leaning back with her arm behind her and her hand on the couch. The change in shot also shows a change in the position of the toys on the coffee table in front of them. The Tigger puppet goes from one side of the table to the other and the little teddy turns around 180 degrees.
The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: When Roz's date Ted returns her purse to her apartment, Bulldog answers the door. He barks at Ted and Ted nervously drops the purse. We see Bulldog close the door. He should have picked up the purse first, or he wouldn't have been able to close it. We do see him drop the purse in a chair as he heads to the kitchen, but we never actually see him pick it up.
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.
