The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Roz is showing Frasier some faxes in his booth at KACL - as she holds them they are folded over. As she says "are you nuts?", the papers are flat in her hand, no longer folded over, with no time for her to have changed them.

A Word to the Wiseguy - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: Frasier is on the phone at KACL with Jerome's girlfriend and the reflection in the glass shows him raising his hand to his face, but the next shot returns to him - his hand is on the console. There was no time for him to have shifted positions normally.

Police Story - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: Fairly early in the show Frasier has his dad call the police station to ask about a female officer Frasier is interested in. Marty asks for her name, hangs up, and gives Frasier a lot of information about Maureen that he couldn't have possibly learned in that short a time.

You Can Never Go Home Again - S3-E24

Continuity mistake: Daphne is on the phone with her mother and has a dust rag in her hand. She holds out the phone towards Frasier and when the shot goes back to her, the rag is all bunched up in her hand - it has been loose before. There was no time for her to change it.

Frasier Grinch - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Frasier and Niles are in Cafe Nervosa and Roz comes in, with lots of Christmas gifts. She manages to unload them, take off her coat and get into a chair between the guys - all in a couple of seconds. It all happens too quickly for "real time".

Frasier Grinch - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: Frasier's in the toy store and another customer comes in with a carrier bag of educational toys he bought elsewhere. As Frasier tries to talk him into selling him the toys, some shots show just the bag with the toys in it and other shots show a roll of green wrapping paper visible about 6 inches above the bag.

Look Before You Leap - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: As Frasier is saying "too often we shrink from doing things we really want to do", the shot goes to Roz, and we can see the reflection in the glass shows that Frasier's mouth and hand movements do not match what he is saying.

The Show Where Diane Comes Back - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the kitchen and gets the sugar out to sprinkle over the profiteroles. As he starts shaking we get a wider shot and we see there is sugar all over the stove top, pastries, plate, and counter - way more than there should be for the amount of shaking going on.

You Can Never Go Home Again - S3-E24

Continuity mistake: Niles and Frasier are at Marty's old apartment and Niles sits down on the couch. Eddie is sitting next to him, staring. During this scene, the shots of Eddie show him moving from fairly close to Niles, to about 10 inches away, and then back again. He has no time to change position naturally.

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: In the last scene, at the Cafe, Bob puts a dollar on the table in front of him. A waitress brings a cup and puts it down - the dollar has disappeared. In subsequent shots it reappears.

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Bob are in Cafe Nervosa talking. Bob has a book in his hand. In another shot he is moving his hands around, even though there was no time for him to have put the book down.

High Crane Drifter - S3-E17

Revealing mistake: Near the end, in Cafe Nervosa, the guy that wants to sue Frasier gives Niles a push. Niles stumbles backwards, knocking over some chairs and the coat rack before falling down, taking the table by the window with him. If you look closely just before he hits the table, the woman sitting there (rather than moving out of the way), very subtly pulls on the table, so as to upend it so Niles can go down with it.

A Word to the Wiseguy - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end of their meeting outside Cafe Nervosa, Jerome throws his red paper napkin on the table and they say their goodbyes. In the shot after he walks away there is no sign of the red napkin.

Martin Does It His Way - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Niles dumps Aunt Louise's ashes out of his shoe and onto the floor, there is carpeting under the pew. In the closing credits when the janitor is sweeping up the ashes, the carpeting is in a different place.

Frasier Loves Roz - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: While Daphne and Roz are talking in the kitchen, Daphne takes a carton of milk out of the fridge - and puts it down on her left - in the next shot it is on her right (with no change of camera angle).

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: 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!
