Frasier mistake picture

We Two Kings - S10-E10

Continuity mistake: This is a mistake within a mistake: Niles and Frazier are trying to get the wrapped presents out of F.'s apartment and replace them with others, to play a trick on their dad. They are getting completely mixed up, and presents are being taken out and then returned by mistake, mostly by Frasier. At one point Niles has a pile of gifts which he puts down on the table behind the couch - the shot shows him holding them, but the next shot shows a completely different pile of presents, even though it is supposed to be the same pile. Frasier picks this pile up. It soon changes again in the next shots.

Three Dates and a Breakup (2) - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: While Frasier and Marty are in the kitchen arguing about Sherry, his can of beer moves from the right side of the counter quite a distance over to the left of the dishes he broke. The sugar bowl and jam pot also change positions during the same shots.

The Innkeepers - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: Frasier is holding a plate of food in the kitchen, but after Roz comes in with the exploded cherries jubilee all over her, the food on his plate has changed completely. It could not have been affected by the cherries jubilee explosion as he had his back to the door when that happened.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: After Bulldog loses his job he goes to Roz for a hug. He puts his right arm around her upper arms but the next shot shows his arm around her shoulder, with no time to have shifted naturally.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: When Niles goes to take off his pants he looks over at Eddie who is sitting on the right side of the armchair. The next shot shows Eddie getting out of the chair and onto the footstool - however, he is climbing out of the left side and he had no time to shift position. (00:01:55)

Dr. Nora - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, Dr. Nora's mother is chasing Nora through the corridors of KACL, behind the windows of Frasier and Roz's booth. We can see them go by, from window to window. The shot then cuts to Frasier, looking horrified, and we see Nora's mother run by a couple of windows again - even though this could not possibly have happened in real time.

IQ - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are in the restaurant, Niles is under the influence of medication. He lays his head down on his arm just as one of the geniuses arrives and greets them. In the next shot, his head is lying right on the table, with no time for him to have switched positions.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Marty, Niles, and Frazier return from the taping of the Antiques Road Show, Marty hangs up his blue windbreaker and then Frazier hangs up his gray raincoat, obscuring Marty's coat. But throughout the scene, all we see is Marty's blue jacket - where did the raincoat go?

Frasier Loves Roz - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: While Daphne and Roz are talking in the kitchen, Daphne takes a carton of milk out of the fridge - and puts it down on her left - in the next shot it is on her right (with no change of camera angle).

Decoys - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: Early in the show Niles and Daphne are in the kitchen talking while Daphne makes tea. She puts the lid on the teapot and in the next shot the lid is on the counter again.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: During the opening scene, Niles is on the phone to his chef, and behind him, on a table, are two champagne glasses (beside the phone base)and 3 candles. He hangs up the phone, moves away and 2 of the candles and the glasses have disappeared, and the phone has been pushed further over. He sits on the couch, then goes to get the ironing board - when he sets it up we see the glasses and candles are back.

Frasier's Curse - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Niles goes to pour sugar on his spoon and the top of the sugar dispenser comes off and disappears - it looks like it goes into his lap. We don't see the top again until after the teenager says, "Aren't you going to yell at them?" and suddenly it is in plain view, on the right of the table.

The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Roz opens her gift of a bracelet from Frasier, he puts it on her and she feels guilty, so she goes to call Luke - but as she leaves the table, there is suddenly no sign of the box the bracelet came in.

Frasier's Edge - S8-E9

Continuity mistake: Marty gives Niles a mug which says "World's Greatest Psychiatrist." He puts it down on the coffee table with the lettering facing the camera. He then leaves with Daphne and a few shots later, we can see the mug again, but it is turned around and we see the blank side. When Frasier leaves the apartment, it's back in its original position. Nobody ever touched it.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: As Frasier tells Bulldog that he shouldn't feel threatened by Clint, we can see the edge of a clipboard moving on the bottom right screen, where Roz would be. However, in the shot before that, Roz had pretended to punch Bulldog - she had nothing in her hand and wouldn't have had time to pick anything up.

Three Dates and a Breakup (2) - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: When Marty is explaining why he broke up with Sherry, we can see his blue jacket hanging up on the book by the fireplace - as he says "I said it back", the coat is no longer there. It does reappear in later shots.

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.

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: 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!
