Frasier

The Innkeepers - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Niles tells the chef to serve the souffle in a large bowl, there is a large bowl of food next to him with no utensil in it. When Niles says "Table Twelve is still waiting for their entree", there is suddenly a utensil sticking up in the center of the bowl.

Secret Admirer - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier gets out his address book to look for women he's dated but we can see the pages are blank even while he reads out names. He is not making them up, as he does phone one named Tatiana later.

How to Bury a Millionaire - S6-E7

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, Niles has signed his lease for the Shangra-La with his Noel Coward pen and he puts on the table next to the lease. A couple of shots later we can see the pen lying on top of the lease, even though no one touched it.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: When Niles is engaged in his ironing fiasco, Eddie is watching his every move. When Niles heads to the kitchen to get spot remover, Eddie is sitting on the footstool. The next shot shows Eddie turned to watch Niles - but he is now in the chair; it is not just a tricky angle, as he actually lays his chin on the back of the chair. There was no time for Eddie to jump from the footstool to the chair.

Secret Admirer - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show, when Martin, Niles, and Frasier are leaving Niles's place to go out for ice cream, they leave Maris's opened package on a large footstool next to a decorative metal bowl. When they return (closing credits) with their ice cream the package and its wrappings are gone - even though no one was left behind in the apartment.

Odd Man Out - S4-E24

Continuity mistake: Near the start of the show, when Frasier is checking for phone messages, his raincoat hanging up in the background sometimes has a bunched up sleeve and sometimes doesn't.

A Word to the Wiseguy - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end of their meeting outside Cafe Nervosa, Jerome throws his red paper napkin on the table and they say their goodbyes. In the shot after he walks away there is no sign of the red napkin.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier, Niles, Daphne, Marty, and Abby are having dinner at a restaurant. Abby has a notepad and cellphone on the table. When Niles announces Donny has just walked in, the next shot shows Abby drinking champagne, but the notepad and cellphone have disappeared.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: Simon has shown up at Daphne's shower and is standing at the bar/table with Roz and Holly. There is a bottle of champagne on the table, next to an ice bucket - but when Daphne drags Simon away the shot shows that the bottle has mysteriously made its way into the ice bucket.

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.

Head Game - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Martin first finds out how Niles cured the basketball player, Niles is getting a drink, and Martin is in his chair. During the shots between them, the remote control on the table next to Martin instantly rotates between angles at least twice.

Frasier Gotta Have It - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: Roz is talking about having a fling - while she takes the notebook, which was open on the coffee table, shuts it under its own weight. She keeps talking and waving her hands around, and in the next shot the notebook is open again, even though she didn't touch it.

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.

Frasier: And though washing one's hands twenty to thirty times a day would be considered obsessive/compulsive, please bear in mind that your husband is a coroner. Thank you for your call, Jeanine. Roz, whom do we have next?

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: Counting his role on Cheers, Kesley Grammar has played Fraiser for twenty years. Is this the record for the longest portrayal of a character by a TV actor?

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.
