A Man, a Plan and a Gal: Julia - S11-E2
Continuity mistake: When Julia answers her cellphone, she bunches up her napkin in her hand, but the next shot shows the napkin lying flat on her lap again; this would be almost impossible to do in such a short time with only one hand free.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are talking about Freddy, the ice cream carton on Marty's table goes from being parallel with the remote to being perpendicular - and then changes position again - no one goes near it during their conversation.
Continuity mistake: At the hospital the nurse comes over to talk to Frasier about his father - her paper on her clipboard is flipped over the back of it and her hand is holding the side of it. A couple of shots later, with no opportunity to change positions, the paper is no longer flipped over and her hand is lying on top of the clipboard.
Continuity mistake: Frasier puts the tuna on the coffee table for Mr. Bottomsley and the cat jumps up and starts to eat it - he is facing the couch. In the next shot we see Eddie come into the room and suddenly the cat has moved and is facing Marty's chair - without enough time for the change.
Continuity mistake: Marty picks up the head of the statue that was shot off and holds it for a couple of seconds. He then puts it down by the phone. After Daphne says, "All right, what's the plan?" we see it is in his hand again, and he puts it down again.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Ronee and Frasier are talking at his table about her mother. Frasier asks, "She doesn't approve of premarital sex?" and his arm is folded in front of him. In the next shot, his elbow is on the table and his hand up in the air. Later on in the scene, Ronee's mother shows up at the door and we see Marty lunge to the right to grab his cane. A couple of seconds later the shot goes back to him and we see him lunge to the right for his cane again.
A Man, a Plan and a Gal: Julia - S11-E2
Continuity mistake: Martin is standing at the door talking to Frasier about taking Eddie to the vet. From one shot to the next the leash changes position from being over Eddie's head to being under his chin - without enough time for this to happen naturally.
Continuity mistake: For "Crock Tales" (11x22). In the 2002 flashback Niles and Daphne have just slept together. Actually they first had sex in 2001.
Continuity mistake: When Ann says "Is that all bunny is going to eat," you can see a small piece of red food on Frasier's fork. When the shot changes and Frasier says "Bunny had a big Mexican lunch," the piece of food has gone.
Continuity mistake: Marty's shoebox is sitting on the table. Niles walks by and Daphne throws him a banana from the kitchen - the camera shows the box again, and it has turned about 45 degrees.
Continuity mistake: When Lilith says Frasier can't make it for lunch, Niles grabs the back of his dad's chair with his left hand. The next shot shows his hand down by his side, without enough time for the shift.
Continuity mistake: Frasier and Marty are sitting in their living room talking about Frasier's problems with women. Marty has his fork poised above a plate with a slice of cake on it. The next shot shows the fork on the plate, next to the cake. Marty would not have had time to put the fork down in the split-second in between.
Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are in the kitchen at the cabin. Niles picks up his mug to take a sip, but in the next shot his mug is still on the table.
Continuity mistake: In Cafe Nervosa, after Niles has taken off all his clothes, Frasier wraps him up in a couple of Cafe Nervosa aprons and Roz picks up Niles' clothes from the floor. In one shot, we see his tie towards the top of the pile in Roz' arms, and in another it is swinging free at the bottom of the pile. The clothes change position in her arms from shot to shot. In one shot the boxers are still on the table, with a newspaper. In a subsequent shot, Roz has the boxers. When Niles is being taken outside, the table nearest the door has only a cup on it. In the next shot, we see the newspaper on the table again.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Marty are talking about going to Ronee's cabin, Ronee is sitting on the right side of the couch with nothing behind her. In the next shot, she gets up and we can see a light brown overcoat. This coat disappears again in the next shot, as Frasier answers the door and Niles comes in, carrying the very same overcoat which he places on the right side of the couch, where Ronee had been sitting.
Continuity mistake: During the opening credits of the show, Frasier and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa. Frasier has a fabric shopping bag, and in some shots you can see the leaves of one vegetable and in other shots you can see the leaves of two vegetables. These leaves are quite large and distinctively different.
Goodnight, Seattle (1) - S11-E23
Continuity mistake: When Daphne, Niles, and the vet are in the examining room the items on the table in the foreground change positions in different shots.
Continuity mistake: Frasier is hiding behind the kitchen counter when Ronee comes in - followed by Marty. Frasier puts his hands, one holding an apple, up on the counter. In the next shot the apple is on the counter, and his hands are draped over each other - without enough time for natural movement.
Continuity mistake: There are several bad cuts between shots when Niles and Frasier are on the balcony. Keep an eye on the height of Niles' sherry glass. The most noticeable occurrence is when Niles mentions "detachment" and the shot changes. He is suddenly holding his glass at least a foot higher in the air.
Continuity mistake: In an early scene, Frasier is in his apt. talking to Marty about how Niles is behaving. The cracker package on the table changes position noticeably without Frasier having touched it.
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.
