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.
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.
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.
Continuity mistake: When Roz is talking to Martin in the cafe, she takes a cookie from the plate, but in the next shot she gives the brownie to Martin with the same hand and the cookie is nowhere to be seen.
Continuity mistake: When the KCAL team goes for their final weigh-in, Roz grabs some scissors and one of her co-workers cuts her hair - but he cuts it quite low towards the bottom of her ponytail - when she holds up the cut portion, she only has a few inches left to her ponytail.
The Ann Who Came to Dinner - S11-E13
Continuity mistake: In the doctors office, the doctor wheels Ann out and leaves the X-Ray he just put up of her leg. Later in the scene after Martin and Frasier have their conversation, Ann comes back into the room on crutches.

The Ann Who Came to Dinner - S11-E13
Continuity mistake: Maris is hiding in a wooden box so she will be shipped out of the country. Marta, her housekeeper, has a protein shake for her, and puts the straw through a hole in the box. Maris indicates that she's drunk too much and Marta goes to put the straw back in the hole so she can regurgitate some - but just before that happens we see a stream of the liquid come out of the hole and dribble down the box. In the next shot the straw goes into the hole and the box is all clean and dry again.
Continuity mistake: Frasier comes home to find his sherry decanter empty and opens a bottle of wine, which he leaves on the kitchen counter. Niles arrives, wants sherry, and Frasier tells him there is none, saying, "I've opened some wine, help yourself." Niles grabsthe open bottle from the bar area, even though no one had put the bottle back - it should have still been on the kitchen counter.
Continuity mistake: Frasier and Martin are in the kitchen and Marty gets some chips out of the cupboard next to the fridge. As he leans down to pet Eddie we can see a bag of blue chips still in the cupboard - but when he straightens up to talk to Frasier, we see a red bag in the cupboard, not the blue one (the camera angle remains the same).
Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are in the kitchen at the cabin. Niles picks up his mug to take a sip, but in the next shot his mug is still on the table.
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!
