Frasier

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Niles leaves the bedroom where he thinks he will meet Maris, her lover Shenkman comes in and notices the two roses crossed on the pillow. Once he crosses over to the bed, though, the roses have noticeably changed position.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: At the very end of the show, when Frasier, Niles and Martin are on the balcony, all three have their hands and arms folded in front of them, leaning on the railing. The shot then goes to behind them, and Frasier is standing with his arms straight out, and only his hands on the railing.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show Frasier, Niles and their dad are having drinks and Niles goes to top off Marty's shot glass - but just as he pours the drink, Martin pulls it away. In real life the drink would have ended up on the floor, but the scene continues as Niles keeps pouring into the glass.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Frasier, Marty, and Niles are having drinks at the end of the show, Frasier says "I think we have a 3-way tie" and we see Marty holding his drink in his left hand - the shot then switches and it's suddenly in his right hand, with no time for a natural change.

The Ski Lodge - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: Frasier is holding a bottle of bubbly during the scene when he, Niles, Daphne, Annie and Guy are in Niles's bedroom. As he walks to the door, he is holding it towards the bottom but when the shot changes he is suddenly holding it around the neck.

Room Service - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Lilith arrives at Frasier's, she is moving her hands, rearranging her wrap and her purse is in her left hand. Without time for her to change it, in the next shot her purse is in her right hand.

Room Service - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Lilith and Frasier are in the hotel room, Frasier's shoes are on the floor by the chair, neatly arranged. When he says "that's very impressive, Dr. Sternin" and walks away, the shoes are not in the same position anymore.

Beware of Greeks - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: Quite late in the show, Nikos and Frasier are sitting down talking. Behind Nikos someone picks up a glass of wine which is next to a bottle. The next shot shows a plate there as well, even though no one put one down. It disappears a couple of shots later - again, no one went near it.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: While Frasier, Niles, Martin, and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa, and as Clint comes in, the extra in the background is reading a newspaper, which goes from opened to closed to opened from shot to shot, with no time for her to change it.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: As Frasier tells Bulldog that he shouldn't feel threatened by Clint, we can see the edge of a clipboard moving on the bottom right screen, where Roz would be. However, in the shot before that, Roz had pretended to punch Bulldog - she had nothing in her hand and wouldn't have had time to pick anything up.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: Bulldog is in the booth getting ready to start his show. In one shot he blows his horn and then puts it to the right on the console. In the next shot it is in his left hand, and then, presto, next shot it's back on the right console.

Selling Out - S1-E9

Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.

Show generally

Question: There's probably an obvious answer to this but is there any actual in-show significance to the 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs' song heard at the end of every episode? I ask mainly because I remembered there was one show in particular where Frasier unintentionally scars Lilith emotionally and pretty much cements the end of their relationship over a misunderstanding about scrambled eggs. Were there any similar conflicts over a tossed salad?

Answer: In the last episode, they explained that Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs is a metaphor for the mixed-up people to whom Frasier dispenses his radio psychiatric advice.
