The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Other mistake: Frasier seems jealous in this episode that Dr Webber went to Oxford, he even says, "Oh well, even better," in comparison to his own Harvard. However, in several other episodes we are told that Frasier got degrees from both Harvard and Oxford so why the jealously? Similarly in other episodes, he never mentions Oxford, only Harvard as where he went to University.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: While Frasier, Niles, Martin, and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa, and as Clint comes in, the extra in the background is reading a newspaper, which goes from opened to closed to opened from shot to shot, with no time for her to change it.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: As Frasier tells Bulldog that he shouldn't feel threatened by Clint, we can see the edge of a clipboard moving on the bottom right screen, where Roz would be. However, in the shot before that, Roz had pretended to punch Bulldog - she had nothing in her hand and wouldn't have had time to pick anything up.

Frasier: Niles, I would shave my head for you.
Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.

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: 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.
