Frasier

The Focus Group - S3-E23

Continuity mistake: Frasier knocks the drinks over in Manu's newspaper stand. They had been sitting on a plastic tarp over some newspapers. In the next shot the plastic tarp is draped much differently, covering the papers more. No one touched it in the meantime.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Mel are in his dressing room, Mel puts Niles' jacket on the table in the center. A couple of shots later, the jacket changes position, even though neither of them touched it.

The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When Roz's date Ted returns her purse to her apartment, Bulldog answers the door. He barks at Ted and Ted nervously drops the purse. We see Bulldog close the door. He should have picked up the purse first, or he wouldn't have been able to close it. We do see him drop the purse in a chair as he heads to the kitchen, but we never actually see him pick it up.

Room Service - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: When Lilith arrives at Frasier's, she is moving her hands, rearranging her wrap and her purse is in her left hand. Without time for her to change it, in the next shot her purse is in her right hand.

Decoys - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Roz are talking at the cabin, in some shots her sleeve is pushed up her arm and in some it is down to her wrist, with no time for her to change it.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Frasier and Martin are having breakfast and we can see an orange napkin in Marty's lap. While he is talking, the camera angle behind his shoulder shows his left hand against his cheek. Right after that the napkin appears on the table to the left - with no time for him to have moved his hand and put it there.

Liar! Liar! - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, the KCAL gang are in Frasier's apt. celebrating the SeaBee awards. Bulldog is gloating about his win. At one point he has his left hand out in front of him and up in the air - the next shot the same hand is behind his back.

And Frasier Makes Three - S11-E20

Audio problem: There are two audio problems in this episode, both in the same scene. Frasier is in his apt. talking to Niles, Daphne, and Martin. After Marty says, "Wow, really?", we hear a couple of garbled words while Niles' lips move. Then as Frasier heads to the door, Daphne asks, "How'd he hurt himself anyway?" While she is saying this, we can hear a phone ringing faintly. It is not coming from on stage, no one moves to answer a phone, and it has no part of the plot.

A Lilith Thanksgiving - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: When Lilith and Frasier are at Dr. Campbell's (the first time), he makes them tea. A shot shows him preparing it, pouring it, etc. But in the next shot, Frasier and Lilith are already holding their cups. There was not enough time for him to have passed them the cups.

Back Talk - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is talking to Eddie, his tie switches back and forth constantly between shots - sometimes it lies straight down his shirt, other times it is draped across his jacket and around his side.

First Date - S5-E20

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are in the kitchen while Daphne is getting some fabric softener - Niles is holding a blue bottle of water up near his chest but in the next shot it is down by his waist.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene when Martin is talking to Duke on the phone, there is nothing on the table next to his chair. As the scene progresses, a remote appears on the table, even though Marty or anyone else places it there.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: While Frasier is talking to Daphne about wooing Holly, the wine bottle on the coffee table changes position more than once - from sitting on a book on the left of the tray to being on the bare table on the right and then back again to the left of the tray, but not on the book. Nobody touches it during this time.

Selling Out - S1-E9

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: 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: Counting his role on Cheers, Kesley Grammar has played Fraiser for twenty years. Is this the record for the longest portrayal of a character by a TV actor?

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.
