Frasier

The Club - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Frasier's date calls and cancels, we can see his overcoat covering the back of the couch, but in the next shot, as he says "fat chance", the coat has changed position and we can see several inches of the top of the couch.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in the conference room with Roz, his binder changes from shot to shot. Sometimes there are 4 brightly coloured tabs at the top, sometimes only 2. The same shots show a change in the papers on the table too.

Match Game - S11-E18

Continuity mistake: While Niles, Daphne and Marty are watching the video of Cindy's labour, the bag of Marty's cookies change position a few times - from being in his chair to being on his little table, and back again.

I'm Listening - S11-E6

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Cafe Nervosa, sitting with Marty, pretending to be his date. In one shot her hand is covering his, in the next shot her hands are in her lap - but in the next shot, her hand is back covering Marty's.

The Great Crane Robbery - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Roz goes into Frasier's booth and starts to put her pencil on the console - but in the next shot, as Kenny comes in, she is reaching for papers and the pencil is nowhere in sight.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: When Daphne and Niles are on the roof having their picnic, the basket behind them is opened from the center and on the inside on the left are two champagne glasses. A couple of shots later and the glasses are now on the right side, even though no one touched the basket.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are in Cafe Nervosa - we see Frasier put his coffee down but as Niles says "Spanish leather", we can see Frasier's cup up in the air again on the right - with no time for the change.

The Kid (2) - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rick leaves Roz's apartment, he has the sonogram photo in his left hand when he hugs her goodbye. When her lets her go and opens the door, the sonogram is in his right hand, even though he never switched it.

Call Me Irresponsible - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Daphne is setting up the soft ornaments along the top of the fireplace for the Christmas photo, she is just putting the first one on the mantelpiece, then the shot changes and she is positioning the second ornament.

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

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in Donny's office, and Donny is holding a little wedding cake groom. He covers the groom with his hands while he's talking, but when Frasier says, "Daphne realizes you went to great expense," the little bridegroom is visible again, even though in real time it couldn't have happened.

Party, Party - S5-E23

Continuity mistake: After Roz has had the baby and has fallen asleep, the nurse comes in and watches Frasier kiss her on the forehead. Most of the time she is standing at the door with her hands behind her back, but in one shot her hands are in front of her and she is holding something white. When she flounces out after Frasier hits on her, she has nothing in her hands.

Perspectives on Christmas - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Daphne gives Marty a brightly coloured sweater for Christmas and after he opens it, he puts it back in the box - the yellow sleeve is hanging out. After he says "all that makeup on my face", the sweater has changed position and there is a red portion hanging out of the box. No one touched it in the meantime.

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.
