Someone to Watch Over Me - S2-E19
Continuity mistake: Frasier and Roz are in his booth and Roz puts her chocolate bar on the counter. While Frasier is on the radio, we sometimes see it at his left elbow and sometimes it is not, even though the angle doesn't change. (00:02:20)
Morning Becomes Entertainment - S7-E19
Continuity mistake: In the initial scene where Frasier is talking to Daphne and Roz in Cafe Nervosa, Frasier can be seen wearing a wedding ring in certain shots. (00:01:10)
Selling Out - S1-E9
Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.
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'.
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.
