The Two Mrs. Cranes - S4-E1

Other mistake: The guy who plays Clive in this episode has one of the most appalling accents I have heard. He's apparently from Manchester, but sounds like a sort of cockney South African. His accent slips around all the time; it's very poor. I wouldn't normally submit it, but his is so shockingly bad I doubt anyone would be fooled into thinking he was British.

Head Game - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: When Bulldog is telling Roz and Niles about Reggie, Roz is partially facing him with papers in her hand - in the middle of his sentence she is suddenly at the keyboard, without the papers, with no time for normal change.

The Two Mrs. Cranes - S4-E1

Plot hole: In this show Daphne's former fiance, Clive, shows up. They had been engaged for several years in England. However, in Series 1, episode 11 (Death Becomes Him), Daphne talks about never having had a serious boyfriend, and goes into some detail about how people tried to set her up with eligible men. As Daphne is open about everything else, there seems to be no logical reason for her to not mention she'd been engaged.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Bulldog goes into the booth towards the end of the show, and puts his gong and cowbell on the console to his left. When he says "attention, sports fans", the cowbell has suddenly shifted to being in front of him, even though he didn't touch it.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Sharon and Bulldog are arguing about golf at Cafe Nervosa, and she has her arm outstretched on the table. As Bulldog says, "If we leave right now", her hands are folded together on the table, without enough time for the change.

Ask Me No Questions - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: In this scene, Martin and Daphne are arguing about Martin buying the gift basket for Daphne because Daphne knitted the sweater for Martin. Daphne says the basket cost too much, so Martin begins to take items from the basket and put them on the table. Then as the argument progresses Martin and Daphne decide to take back their gifts. Martin places the gift basket on his chair (the two items that were taken from the basket are still on the table) and Daphne takes the sweater. A minute later they make up and agree to re-exchange the gifts. Daphne gives Martin his sweater and when Martin reaches for the basket, all items are there, including the ones that were still sitting on the table when he put the basket on the chair.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Bulldog is on the phonein the hall at KACL and he throws a tennis ball at Frasier, who stumbles around trying to catch it. During the scene we see an extra behind Bulldog go into one of the rooms - but we see her do it again just a split second later - and the second time she has a paper under her arm, where she had nothing the first time.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Marty and Daphne are in the car going to the shoe store, she stops at a red light, as does the black car on her left. During the shots that follow, the car on the left, although always black, is a different car in different shots.

Head Game - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: A fan next to Niles is holding his nachos container by its side as they talk. In the shot where he gets up to leave, his hand is under the container, with no time for this to have happened naturally.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are in Cafe Nervosa - we see Frasier put his coffee down but as Niles says "Spanish leather", we can see Frasier's cup up in the air again on the right - with no time for the change.

The Impossible Dream - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: Niles and Frasier are looking at books trying to figure out Frasier's dream. When Daphne and Marty come in the door, the shot shows that the book that was on the end of the table has moved quite a distance and is now in front of Niles.

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.

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.

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.

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!
