Frasier

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Daphne are on the couch talking about the meteor shower, she has his hand on his left knee and he is covering it with both of his hands. After he says "two horrible wrongs", his right hand is suddenly on his right knee, with no time for natural switch.

Dial M For Martin - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Eddie has been playing on Niles' couch, and the pillows are all over the place and there are a couple of other things on there as well. After Marty's chair arrives, Niles says to Frasier, "You have to take him back now," and suddenly the couch is all tidied up, with the pillows at the ends. A couple of shots go by and suddenly the couch is a mess again.

The Kid (2) - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Roz and Frasier are in his kitchen talking and Roz has a bottle of water. In one shot we see the bottle cap on the counter, but in the next shot it has disappeared.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are in Cafe Nervosa, Frasier is holding section of newspaper in his lap, with an inch or two showing on the table. He and Niles suddenly grab for their cellphones and the newspaper appears fully on top of the table.

The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: Frasier puts the tuna on the coffee table for Mr. Bottomsley and the cat jumps up and starts to eat it - he is facing the couch. In the next shot we see Eddie come into the room and suddenly the cat has moved and is facing Marty's chair - without enough time for the change.

Cranes Unplugged - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: Frederick is visiting and sitting on Frasier's couch with headphones on, playing a Gameboy. Frasier pulls off Freddy's headphones, which then lie around his neck while Frederick continues to hold the Gameboy. In the next shot, the headphones and Gameboy are on the coffee table and Freddy is sitting quite a bit to the left of them.

Guns 'N Neuroses - S11-E9

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.

Agents in America, Part III - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: As Bebe says, "Darling, what you have is a fever" to Frasier, her hands are on the table in front of her. He says "what?" and the shot shows her elbows on the table and her hands are in the air, with no time for natural change.

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: There is a bag of chips on Marty's little table that goes from being open but almost flat to being open much wider and the bag is very rounded, from one shot to another, but no one touches it. (00:18:05)

IQ - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: As Frasier and Niles listen to the auction results, we can see a pen on the table behind them. The next shot shows no sign of the pen. The subsequent shot shows two pens there.

Frasier Loves Roz - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: When Roz and Daphne are in the kitchen, the tea cup turns about 45 degrees so we see much more of the flower pattern from the same camera angle. Neither of them touched it.

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Roz is showing Frasier some faxes in his booth at KACL - as she holds them they are folded over. As she says "are you nuts?", the papers are flat in her hand, no longer folded over, with no time for her to have changed them.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Poppy meets Niles at Cafe Nervosa. She has a black purse which she places on the table in front of her. During the scene, the purse is sometimes on the table and sometimes isn't, even though Poppy never removes it.

Voyage of the Damned - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: While Frasier, Roz, and Marty are at the table on the ship, Frasier is trying to write his speech. His pen switches from being in his hand to being on the table, several times, from shot to shot.

Dinner Party - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: Late in the show, Frasier throws his notebook on the coffee table and it lies flat near the books. A couple of shots later, it is on top of one of the books, with pages flipped back. No one went near it in the meantime.

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.

Trivia: The producers were careful not to put stools in Cafe Nervosa, in order to distance it visually from the eponymous bar in "Cheers."

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.
