Frasier

Ask Me No Questions - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: In this scene, Martin and Daphne are arguing about Martin buying the gift basket for Daphne because Daphne knitted the sweater for Martin. Daphne says the basket cost too much, so Martin begins to take items from the basket and put them on the table. Then as the argument progresses Martin and Daphne decide to take back their gifts. Martin places the gift basket on his chair (the two items that were taken from the basket are still on the table) and Daphne takes the sweater. A minute later they make up and agree to re-exchange the gifts. Daphne gives Martin his sweater and when Martin reaches for the basket, all items are there, including the ones that were still sitting on the table when he put the basket on the chair.

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Frasier's new friend Bob pulls away from the table in Cafe Nervosa - his plaid hat is still on the chair next to him. In the next shot the hat is suddenly in Bob's lap, even though he couldn't possibly have put it there in that time.

Motor Skills - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Martin is sitting on the coffee table hugging the puppy who is nuzzling his face. He says "No" to Roz and in the next shot the puppy is no longer near his face.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: When the gang are at Frasier's apartment for a brunch to get to know Mel, Roz is having a Bloody Mary. In one shot she lifts her glass right to her lips, but in the next shot she is lifting it up to her lips again.

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. When she does, the X-ray that was on the board has disappeared and never returns through the rest of the scene.

Lummie

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Bulldog is on the phonein the hall at KACL and he throws a tennis ball at Frasier, who stumbles around trying to catch it. During the scene we see an extra behind Bulldog go into one of the rooms - but we see her do it again just a split second later - and the second time she has a paper under her arm, where she had nothing the first time.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Marty and Daphne are in the car going to the shoe store, she stops at a red light, as does the black car on her left. During the shots that follow, the car on the left, although always black, is a different car in different shots.

She's the Boss - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: During the show, Daphne and Martin are having breakfast while talking to Frasier. Daphne removes her blue napkin from her lap at one point,and puts it on the table; a short time later we see her remove it from her lap again.

Three Faces of Frasier - S7-E21

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Frasier, Martin, and Daphne are sitting at the table talking about getting older. At one point Martin says "when people reach our stage in life" and his left hand is holding his coffee cup. But as the camera cuts to Frasier we can see Martin's hand in the left corner of the screen, up in the air, without the cup. The next shot shows it back on the table, holding the cup again. All this happens too quickly for the changes in real time.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: During the closing credits, when Niles goes to Frasier's with some licorice, Marty is lying on the couch, sick. At first his cane handle is facing the fireplace, but when the shot changes, it has moved about 45 degrees towards the window. When he gets off the couch, the handle is facing the fireplace again.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Soon after Abbie has arrived at Frasier's, Daphne says to Niles, "It's cute when you do it," and he has his hand on her shoulder. In the next shot, his hands are in his lap and she is taking a sip from her glass, with no time for a natural change.

Boo! - S11-E16

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are in the hospital waiting area, sitting on the couch. Frasier says, "We must remember," and his hands are outstretched, one on each knee. The next shot shows his hands clasped together, with no time for the change.

Head Game - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: A fan next to Niles is holding his nachos container by its side as they talk. In the shot where he gets up to leave, his hand is under the container, with no time for this to have happened naturally.

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!
