Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, when Niles and Frasier are in Cafe Nervosa, the man behind them has a paperback book which is open with all the pages fanned out, and then it is lying flat, then fanned out again, and so on. It is not a case of him changing the book naturally, as the positions of other things in the shots change slightly as well.

Continuity mistake: As a waitress walks from the back of Cafe Nervosa to give Frasier his show tickets, the tray under her arm flips 360 degrees so that at first we see the cork side and then we see the metal underside when she reaches him.

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Daphne are on the elevator; Daphne has a bag of groceries. In some shots several inches of a loaf of French bread is seen, but when she gets off the elevator the bag is sealed up with no bread visible. The bread becomes visible again in later shots as they talk at the door and go into the apartment.

Continuity mistake: At his party, Frasier's bragging to Niles how he's catnip to women while Niles is holding his glass in his left hand. As he replies, "I think I feel a hairball coming up", his wine glass switches to his right hand.

Continuity mistake: Daphne has the bag of groceries on the floor between the coffee table and the couch - when Stephanie leaves the apartment the loaf of bread is sticking out on the left side but when Marty comes into the living room, the bread is now on the other side of the bag and leaning to the right.

Continuity mistake: Sherry is about to tell Frasier and his date a joke - Marty and she have their arms around each other - the first shot shows her large orange purse is over her shoulder (between them) and behind her but the next shot shows it still between them, but in front of her - simply impossible to have changed its position so quickly.

Continuity mistake: During Frasier's party, he is talking to Kimberly by his credenza. At the end of the scene, a wine glass appears there - it hadn't been there earlier. The glass Kimberly put down was a champagne glass.

Continuity mistake: After Roz says to John, "I hardly recognized you with that mustache", one hand is up by her chest and the other is on her knee, but when the shot changes, both hands are clasped together.

Continuity mistake: Frasier's plastic container of veal rotates about 45 degrees between the time Stephanie gets up and the time she reaches to door - and no one touches it during those few seconds.

Continuity mistake: When Martin and Shelly are having a fight, Frasier puts a small bag down, which is yellow on one side and has a logo on the other. He puts it down with the yellow side facing us, and for a several shots it stays like that. However, when Martin is talking about "things that bugged me," you see the bag has inexplicably rotated so the logo is now facing us.

Continuity mistake: Near the start of the show, when the waitress gives Frasier the tickets for the show, she has a dark blue dish towel over her left arm, but as Frasier walks away, it is no longer there.

Continuity mistake: At Cafe Nervosa, while Roz is praying her old school mate won't recognize her, there is a crumpled up red napkin on the table. When he comes over to talk to her, it has magically disappeared.
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.
