Other mistake: In the scene where Frasier is in line for tickets for Roz he is talking to Lana on the phone and asks if he can move Kirby's tutoring up "tomorrow" to four right after school because he made plans with Claire later that night. You can see on the sign next to him that the tickets go on sale Saturday morning and Roz had previously said in the beginning of the episode that she wanted to start standing in line Friday so she would be first in line Saturday morning. So it is obvious that Frasier is in line Friday night which would mean tomorrow would be Saturday, which means Kirby being in high school would not have school the next day (Saturday) like Frasier said.

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: John Mahoney plays Kelsey Grammer's father in the series, even though in real life he's only 15 years older than Grammer.
Question: When Nanny G says that she has played the same character for twenty years it gets a big laugh. What is the joke? Am I missing something here?

Answer: Nanny G (Nanette Guzman - played by Laurie Metcaf) has been a children's entertainer for twenty years, and tells Frasier, "Do you know what it's like to play the same character for 20 years?!" The joke is that Kelsey Grammer has been playing Frasier Crane since 1984, when the character first appeared on "Cheers", so Kelsey in real life has been doing just that!
