Continuity mistake: Daphne visits the radio station where Frasier works about halfway through the episode. She holds the earphone piece up to her right ear, then it cuts to a different camera angle and the headphones are lying on the desk with no time between shots. It's actually quite glaring.

The Show Where Sam Shows Up - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode after Sam mentions stewardesses he claps his hands, and his seat belt (which was caught on something) moves across his chest to the regular position. Cut to a wide shot of the car and Sam's seat belt is back to the position it was in before. (00:21:05)
The Show Where Sam Shows Up - S2-E16
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, at the end of the scene in Sam's hotel room, Frasier sits down on the couch; his raincoat is over his hands and wrists. The next shot shows his left hand and arm lying on top of his coat.
Continuity mistake: Frasier gets caught in Daphne's Room for the second time and crouches down beside her bed with the quilt over his head. He then sneaks into the bathroom - the quilt is left hanging over the edge of the bed. Shortly afterwards he runs out of the bathroom and the quilt is now folded over, completely on top of the bed, even though no one went near it. (00:13:30)
Continuity mistake: Niles runs to Daphne's Room with a full glass of sherry. He jumps into and out of the room and suddenly the glass is empty, even though he never drank from it, and it wasn't spilled. (00:20:40)
Continuity mistake: Roz, Niles and Frazier are in Cafe Nervosa having coffee. Niles has his hand open against his cup while Roz is making a suggestive remark but in the next shot his hands are laced together on the table.
Visible crew/equipment: During the closing credits, Frasier is sitting on his couch with a platter of meat beside him. Eddie is sitting up and begging for it and while he is doing this we can see the distinct shadow of his trainer's hand and arm against the couch. The hand goes higher and Eddie waves his paws higher and as the hand goes down, Eddie lowers his paws. Eddie keeps his eye on the trainer during this whole sequence. Once Frasier gives Eddie the platter of meat, the shadow disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier's date calls and cancels, we can see his overcoat covering the back of the couch, but in the next shot, as he says "fat chance", the coat has changed position and we can see several inches of the top of the couch.
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.
