Frasier

Give Him the Chair! - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Roz has just received a call about Marty's missing chair and as Frasier comes into her booth, she is writing it down. As she says "I found the chair", she hands him the paper - but she goes from writing to handing it to him with no time in between. (00:16:35)

Beloved Infidel - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Frasier is at the dining room table with Niles looking at Niles's childhood journal. He has his left hand ready to turn a page but in the next shot his hand is on the table, with no time for a natural shift.

And the Whimper is... - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Early in the show, at Cafe Nervosa, Roz comes in and Bebe asks her to get her some coffee. Roz returns with a paper bag which she puts down on Bebe's right. In the next shot Bebe stands up with it in her left hand, but there was not enough time for it to change from the right to the left naturally.

Fortysomething - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frasier and Niles are talking in Cafe Nervosa, the position of Niles hands and arms change a couple of times. At one point, while Frasier talks about the young woman he has met, Niles folds his arms in front of him but in the next shot to Frasier, we can see Niles fingers laced together - and then the shot returns to Niles with folded arms. They stay this way until another shot where he says "You were in a mall?" and his hands are suddenly on the table and one is lying over the other.

Frasier Crane's Day Off - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: Martin and Frasier are having breakfast and Marty is making fun of Frasier's radio audience. In one shot Marty's arms are folding on the table in front of him over his newspaper - in the next shot one arm is stretched out over the newspaper and the other is at 45 degrees angle in front of him.

Give Him the Chair! - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: In the episode "Call Me Irresponsible" from season 1, Frasier and Catherine are making out on Martin's old chair, which starts vibrating (probably because they inadvertently hit a switch on the side). But in "Give Him the Chair", Frasier tries to replace Martin's old chair by buying a new one which has a built-in massager. When Martin tries it, he looks horrified and says "That's disgusting", even though his beloved chair had the same feature.

Enemy at the Gate - S10-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Frasier is standing through his sunroof to speak with the drivers stuck behind him in the parking garage, one shot shows Frasier's body and much of the rear window which features a very clear reflection of the boom mic.

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: 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!
