Continuity mistake: In the 8th episode of season 11, "Murder Most Maris", Frasier claims to have been "punched in the face yesterday by a man now dead". When he says this, two nights have passed since the murder. The next day Niles panics at the café and then sleeps for 20 hours. This time Frasier claims he was punched in the face three days ago by a man now dead, when by now it has been at least four days.
Continuity mistake: Niles, Frasier, Marty, and Daphne are at Niles' apartment and they have just found out Maris killed her lover. Niles' overcoat is on a chair behind the couch. He decides to go the police station, tells Daphne to stay put, and heads towards the hall on the left. In the next shot he is carrying his coat and heading out the front door with Marty - there just wasn't enough time for him to have got over to his coat and back to the door.
Continuity mistake: In Cafe Nervosa, after Niles has taken off all his clothes, Frasier wraps him up in a couple of Cafe Nervosa aprons and Roz picks up Niles' clothes from the floor. In one shot, we see his tie towards the top of the pile in Roz' arms, and in another it is swinging free at the bottom of the pile. The clothes change position in her arms from shot to shot. In one shot the boxers are still on the table, with a newspaper. In a subsequent shot, Roz has the boxers. When Niles is being taken outside, the table nearest the door has only a cup on it. In the next shot, we see the newspaper on the table again.
Continuity mistake: There are several bad cuts between shots when Niles and Frasier are on the balcony. Keep an eye on the height of Niles' sherry glass. The most noticeable occurrence is when Niles mentions "detachment" and the shot changes. He is suddenly holding his glass at least a foot higher in the air.
Revealing mistake: At Cafe Nervosa, after Niles has had a mini-breakdown, he has shed his clothes, boxers and all, all over the place and is supposedly naked in the corner with only a newspaper for privacy. When Frasier has him stand up to wrap aprons around him, one can see that David Hyde Pierce is actually wearing light-coloured briefs.
Continuity mistake: In an early scene, Frasier is in his apt. talking to Marty about how Niles is behaving. The cracker package on the table changes position noticeably without Frasier having touched it.
Continuity mistake: Why can Lilith hear what they are saying through the door? In several other episodes, the characters have had arguments or insulted the person at the door without them being able to hear. Yet here suddenly it's possible for her to hear.
Continuity mistake: After Niles knocks the shoebox on the floor, he goes to put the banana on the table, but pulls back with it still in his hand. When he runs over to inspect the fireplace, the banana is nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: Niles stumbles catching the banana and knocks the shoebox off the table and it lands on the floor. The next shot shows a long dark item lying on the carpet - it wasn't there before and didn't come off the box.
Continuity mistake: Just after Niles knocks the box on the floor, we can plainly see it through the legs of the chair. When Marty goes to pick it up, it is now out of our range, even though the camera angle remains the same.
Visible crew/equipment: When Daphne is yelling from the kitchen door about Marty not storing his gun properly we can see pole-shaped shadows passing over her head on the shelves behind her. These cannot be explained by the actor's movements.
Continuity mistake: Marty picks up the head of the statue that was shot off and holds it for a couple of seconds. He then puts it down by the phone. After Daphne says, "All right, what's the plan?" we see it is in his hand again, and he puts it down again.
Continuity mistake: Marty's shoebox is sitting on the table. Niles walks by and Daphne throws him a banana from the kitchen - the camera shows the box again, and it has turned about 45 degrees.
Continuity mistake: When Lilith says Frasier can't make it for lunch, Niles grabs the back of his dad's chair with his left hand. The next shot shows his hand down by his side, without enough time for the shift.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Roz are in the cafe talking about the See Bees, Roz says something like "Those shows are torture." When she does there are many different shots in a short space of time and if you're quick you can see the coffee mug suddenly jump into her hand without picking it up.
Character mistake: Frasier tells Niles that the article on him will be in the winter/spring issue of Seattle Broadcaster. The man who interviews him introduces himself as a journalist from the Seattle Times.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the show, Frasier is explaining to Niles how he was stood up that evening; at the same time he is getting himself a glass of sherry. Niles says, "there was no emergency", we see Frasier repeat the actions to get a glass of sherry all over again.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier asks Martin "Where are your pants?", Marty is holding the ice cream carton underneath, but when the shot changes and he answers, "In the fridge", he is holding the carton by the side.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are talking about Freddy, the ice cream carton on Marty's table goes from being parallel with the remote to being perpendicular - and then changes position again - no one goes near it during their conversation.
Continuity mistake: After Frasier watches the video of Eddie, he tosses the remote on the coffee table. When Niles comes in a short time later, the remote has disappeared, but when Niles asks, "Aren't you going to ask me what's up?" we can see the remote again, on top of the manila envelope. It disappears and reappears throughout the scene.
Answer: Nanny G (Nanette Guzman - played by Laurie Metcaf) has been a children's entertainer for twenty years, and tells Frasier, "Do you know what it's like to play the same character for 20 years?!" The joke is that Kelsey Grammer has been playing Frasier Crane since 1984, when the character first appeared on "Cheers", so Kelsey in real life has been doing just that!
