Frasier

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Roz and Frasier are in Bebe's office, and Frasier is exclaiming about her taking digitalis, the water glass in front of her is empty. The rest of the shots show it being about half full, even though she never refilled it, and there was no water source to be seen.

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.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: Faye is walking into Cafe Nervosa and Kit the waitress is at Noel's table just behind Marty and Frasier. As Faye says "Hi Martin" we can no longer see Kit even though there was no time for her to move out of the shot.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: Dr. Myshkin arrives at Frasier's from the Russian embassy to discuss the bear clock. He puts a diary on the coffee table where it sits to the right of the vodka, near Niles. Suddenly in one shot it has moved to the left, near Frasier. Later in the scene it has switched sides again.

Boo! - S11-E16

Continuity mistake: At the very start of the show, Frasier is pretending to conduct an orchestra with a wooden spoon. Marty says "Boo," and we see the spoon in his right hand. Then Ronee says, "He does scream like a woman," and suddenly the spoon changes to his left hand and is turned the other way. Frasier had no time to change it.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Mel and Niles are sitting on the couch at Frasier's. She is very upset and starts to open her purse for a hanky. In one shot she is fumbling with her purse and in the next the hanky is already in her hand - and not enough time to have done this naturally.

The Unnatural - S4-E16

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are sitting at the dining room table looking at old photos. Niles pours a cup of coffee, adds cream, and reaches for a spoon. In the next shot we see him reach for a spoon again.

Frasier Loves Roz - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, Roz and Frasier are at the radio station, in his booth. There is a clipboard lying on the console to the left. Roz goes to her booth (without the clipboard) and Bulldog bursts through the door on the left. The clipboard has disappeared. Shortly afterwards Roz goes back into Frasier's booth and the clipboard is back where it was.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: Near the start of the episode when Frasier comes home, Daphne quickly clears all the beer cans and mess on the lounge table. After she asks Frasier how he is and he replies, "Where's Simon?". The next time we see the table the cans and all the mess on the table have reappeared.

Lummie

Roz in the Doghouse - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Frazier's while Daphne massages her foot. They are talking about Bulldog and we can see one crutch behind her. When she says "I did not", there are two crutches behind her. Later in the scene it goes back to one crutch. (00:07:50)

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: Frasier is recounting what happened in Cafe Nervosa and we see the flashback - he is explaining why Bulldog is not a hero. In the flashback, we see Bulldog grab hold of Roz and he throws his coffee supposedly towards the gunman. However, the shot shows the cup rolling back towards where Bulldog was standing. In the next shot, we see the coffee cup again, hurtling towards the gunman, and spilling coffee on him.

Secret Admirer - S6-E6

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Frasier is having coffee with Nancy and Roz comes in - she sits down and goes to put her purse on the floor. In the next shot her arms are suddenly up on her table and her hands near her face - without enough time for this to have happened in real time.

Frasier-Lite - S11-E12

Continuity mistake: When the KCAL team goes for their final weigh-in, Roz grabs some scissors and one of her co-workers cuts her hair - but he cuts it quite low towards the bottom of her ponytail - when she holds up the cut portion, she only has a few inches left to her ponytail.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Daphne are having their picnic on the roof, the picnic basket moves around, from sitting on the concrete to sitting on the edge of the cloth.

Adventures in Paradise (1) - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Bulldog is listening to Frasier talk to Madeline on the phone. Bulldog is holding the magazine under his arm, but in the next shot it is on top of the tape player and his hand is on top of it. There was no time for natural change.

Father of the Bride - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning , Daphne is talking to Frasier about her mother. As she says "she did bite through a kitchen spoon", her hand is up on her stomach, but in the next shot it's on her hip, with no time for a shift in position.

The Two Mrs. Cranes - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the kitchen pouring mini chocolate chip cookies from a bag into a bowl while talking to Daphne. The motion of him pouring (and the sound) doesn't stop while he talks but when the shot changes the bag is on the counter next to him.

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.
