Frasier

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in the conference room with Roz, his binder changes from shot to shot. Sometimes there are 4 brightly coloured tabs at the top, sometimes only 2. The same shots show a change in the papers on the table too.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Martin is eating at the coffee table, you see the front of the tomato sauce/ketchup bottle, then the back, then the front again. Also the spice that was on the table moves without anyone touching it.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: In the conference room, Frasier says, "I just said that," and the shot shows his arms resting on the table with his hands up, gesturing. The next shot, from the side, shows him leaning back in his chair with his arms right off the table. The shot then goes back to the original position. There was no time for him to move naturally.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: Frasier is holding a paper with his story on it as he is talking to John Glenn in the conference room. The shot changes as Glenn says, "I don't want to go behind someone's back", and Frasier's hands are now clasped in front of him.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in the boardroom with Roz and her production team, Frasier is writing in a binder, which is on top of a couple of books. In some shots we see a couple of different books in front of him on the table. One of them is called "Mars," which he had put back in his briefcase at the beginning of the scene.

Forgotten But Not Gone - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: While Marty and Frasier are eating Fredericka's cooking, Frasier puts his knife down on his right, then switches his fork to his right hand. After he says "motion carried," the shot shows his fork back in his left hand.

Daphne Returns - S8-E19

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Roz is in Cafe Nervosa reading a children's book. Frasier comes in and she puts the book behind her, presumably into her purse which is hanging on the chair. But throughout the scene, the book is sitting on the table in front of her.

Semi-Decent Proposal - S8-E21

Continuity mistake: Roz and Frasier are at Cafe Nervosa and she is telling him about her dream of dancing with Bruce Springsteen. At one point, her hand is on top of her coffee mug and then she lays it on the table; the next shot shows her hand on the cup again, with no time to move it naturally.

Semi-Decent Proposal - S8-E21

Continuity mistake: In the show from Series 7, "Big Crane on Campus", the Jean Smart character is introduced as Lorna Lenley - ex-prom queen from his high school with a volatile personality who has a brief relationship with Frasier. In Episode 21, series 8, she comes back as the same character - ex-prom queen, had a fling with Frasier, etc. - but now her name is Lana. She was billed as Lorna in the series 7 show and as Lana in the series 8 show. The names may be similar but are definitely different names.

Don Juan in Hell (1) - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: As Kirby is showing Roz his prom pictures, she sees the picture with his hand on her behind. In the scene her hair on her right changes position in the following shots from on her chest, to slightly behind her shoulder, to completely behind her shoulder.

Lummie

Don Juan in Hell (1) - S9-E1

Continuity mistake: As Marty says "Claire says", he is holding his sandwich is both hands. As Daphne turns towards him and says "shut up", he is holding the sandwich in his left hand and his right hand is on the arm of his chair. There was no time for the switch.

The First Temptation of Daphne - S9-E3

Continuity mistake: Martin says that Eddie will find the cricket, and puts him down on the floor so he can begin to search. He places him right in front of the green chair. In the next shot, we see Eddie spinning around on the floor, but the chair isn't visible in the frame like it should be. Instead there's something that looks like a gray stool there.

Bla-Z-Boy - S9-E7

Continuity mistake: After Martin lowers his chair and gets the bag of pretzels it cuts back to Frasier and you can see the bag still on the coffee table. Then it cuts back to Martin and he has the bag. (00:06:16)

Bla-Z-Boy - S9-E7

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Martin are yelling at each other about the mess on the carpet, Marty is holding a red plastic oil container. In one shot there is a noticeable dribble of oil on it, but in the shots before and after, it is clean.

Bla-Z-Boy - S9-E7

Continuity mistake: When we first see Marty on the floor oiling his chair, his cane is lying on the floor with the handle end pointing towards the kitchen. When he picks it up a few shots later, it has turned 180 degrees and the handle is pointing towards the door. At no time did he touch it.

Junior Agent - S9-E10

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in Bebe's office and as she says, "The newest member of Team Crane," her hands are clasped together in front of her and her index fingers are pointed upward, but as the shot changes, her index fingers are folded into her hands.

Enemy at the Gate - S10-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Frasier is standing through his sunroof to speak with the drivers stuck behind him in the parking garage, one shot shows Frasier's body and much of the rear window which features a very clear reflection of the boom mic.

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.
