Frasier

Secret Admirer - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: Marty is telling the boys that he doesn't want to get involved in their squabble. Frasier has his hand up in the air holding his address book but in the next shot it is down by his side, with no time to change position naturally. (00:06:05)

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Daphne's shower, saying "God, he sounds just like a prince," in reference to Simon - in her left hand is a drink and her right hand is positioned down, as though it is in her pocket. In the next shot she is still holding her drink in her left hand, but is giving Daphne a drink with her right hand - it just appears out of nowhere.

And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon (1) - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: Niles says on Daphne's wedding day that he told her he loved her on his 3 day anniversary, making Daphne's wedding his 4 day anniversary. At Nervosa, Mel says it's their 4 day anniversary, when at this point one more night has passed and it's now 5 days since they married.

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.

Hot Ticket - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits Daphne gives Martin the newspaper and he puts his magazine on his little table. As they talk about her photo in the paper, the magazine disappears.

The 1000th Show - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: Near the start of the show Marty brings two green mugs over to Daphne at Cafe Nervosa, gives her one and keeps one for himself. We see his hand on the mug but in the next shot the same hand is on his knee.

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

Momma Mia - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: Early in the show, Niles has his hand up on his tote bag talking about the mosquitoes at the cabin, but the last shot shows him with his arms down by his sides, with no time for the change.

The Gift Horse - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: Frasier is reading the newspaper while Eddie stares at him. He picks up his coffee and we can see he's reading the back page of the newspaper, but from the angle over his shoulder he is reading the front page. It goes back to him reading the back page as he says "you will not distract me" to Eddie.

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Marty is patting Niles on the shoulder, comforting him over the destroyed Flour Child. The next shot shows him patting him on the back near his collar, with no time for the change in position. (00:18:00)

Dial M For Martin - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Marty is in Cafe Nervosa and Roz comes in; he puts his newspaper aside. The next shot shows his hand is still on the paper; this time the page is different. Through the scene we sometimes see a page of text and sometimes a page of ads.

Halloween (1) - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Daphne is standing in the center of the room during the party, at the buffet, talking to Frasier. In one shot her hands are moving toward the serving dishes but in the next, she is rubbing her hands together.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: The butler and Frasier are discussing the new president of the opera board and Ferguson pours Marty a cup of coffee. In the next shot, over Marty's shoulder, we see he already has the cup in his hand, although there was no time for this to happen naturally.

Head Game - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Bulldog is telling Roz and Niles about Reggie, Roz is partially facing him with papers in her hand - in the middle of his sentence she is suddenly at the keyboard, without the papers, with no time for normal change.

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?

Caught in the Act - S11-E15

Trivia: When Nanette tells Frasier she's tired of playing her children's show character, she asks him if he knows what it's like to play the same character for twenty years. By this point, Kelsey Grammer had been playing Frasier for twenty years: eleven on 'Frasier' and nine on 'Cheers'.

Show generally

Question: When Nanny G says that she has played the same character for twenty years it gets a big laugh. What is the joke? Am I missing something here?

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!
