To Kill a Talking Bird - S4-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After Frasier starts the fireplace and it scares Niles' bird, you can see the hands of a bird handler by the stairs on the upper right of the screen. (00:12:21)

To Kill a Talking Bird - S4-E14

Other mistake: It seems very out of character for Niles, who is so obsessed with cleanliness, to be happy with having a bird flying loose in his kitchen.

To Kill a Talking Bird - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show the spoon in the custard dish on Martin's table shifts from side to the other from shot to shot.

To Kill a Talking Bird - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: Niles has his dog over at Frasier's. He sits down on the couch and the dog is facing the door. The next shows the dog standing about two feet away and facing the balcony - and the third shot shows her back in the first position. There was no time for her to change positions naturally.

Quotes

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?

Trivia

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'.

Questions

Show generally

Question: There's probably an obvious answer to this but is there any actual in-show significance to the 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs' song heard at the end of every episode? I ask mainly because I remembered there was one show in particular where Frasier unintentionally scars Lilith emotionally and pretty much cements the end of their relationship over a misunderstanding about scrambled eggs. Were there any similar conflicts over a tossed salad?

Answer: In the last episode, they explained that Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs is a metaphor for the mixed-up people to whom Frasier dispenses his radio psychiatric advice.
