Frasier

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: As Frasier tells Bulldog that he shouldn't feel threatened by Clint, we can see the edge of a clipboard moving on the bottom right screen, where Roz would be. However, in the shot before that, Roz had pretended to punch Bulldog - she had nothing in her hand and wouldn't have had time to pick anything up.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: Bulldog is in the booth getting ready to start his show. In one shot he blows his horn and then puts it to the right on the console. In the next shot it is in his left hand, and then, presto, next shot it's back on the right console.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in his booth with Bulldog lecturing him about his phony hero status, Bulldog is eating a cookie that goes from being semi-circular to having a large round bite out of it and then back to being semi-circular again.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: Frasier is recounting what happened in Cafe Nervosa and we see the flashback - he is explaining why Bulldog is not a hero. In the flashback, we see Bulldog grab hold of Roz and he throws his coffee supposedly towards the gunman. However, the shot shows the cup rolling back towards where Bulldog was standing. In the next shot, we see the coffee cup again, hurtling towards the gunman, and spilling coffee on him.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: When Bulldog wheels his things into the booth, there is nothing on top of the tape deck behind and to our left of Frasier's chair. As the shot changes and he says "you can vouch for that, Myrna", there is suddenly a blue cassette on top of the deck. The shot changes again and Roz puts her plate of cookies down on top of the tape deck - the cassette has disappeared.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is hosting the Sea-Bee awards and the others are sitting at a table, there is a bucket with a bottle of champagne in front of Roz. It changes position from shot to shot, from being upright to leaning right over to the left.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, when Bulldog throws a cup of coffee in the direction of teh armed man, the cup rolls to the floor, but when the shot shows Bulldog getting up from the floor, the cup is lying on the edge of the counter.

Frasier Gotta Have It - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: Roz brings a folder of papers from work, which she puts down on the end of Frasier's coffee table where it lies diagonally for most of the scene except during one shot where it is lying perpendicular to the table.

Frasier Gotta Have It - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Roz are in the kitchen talking, and Frasier says "over thinking things can spoil anything", and we can see Roz lifting a glass of water in her left hand. The shot changes and she now has her right hand up to her mouth and a split second later there is a sticky bun in that hand.

Frasier Gotta Have It - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: At Caitlin's apartment, Frasier tells her "our relationship - we've never talked about it" - she has her arms around his neck and he is holding one of her hands in both of his - but in the next shot, both of her hands are under his hands.

Frasier Gotta Have It - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: Roz is talking about having a fling - while she takes the notebook, which was open on the coffee table, shuts it under its own weight. She keeps talking and waving her hands around, and in the next shot the notebook is open again, even though she didn't touch it.

Frasier Gotta Have It - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the episode, Frasier and Caitlin are talking at her apartment about their status and she is sitting on the side of his chair. He has his right hand between her knees and left fingers tapping on her left thigh when he says, "well, I have been terribly worried about this global warming situation." Immediately in the next shot when she responds to him, she is holding his left hand with hers, and his right hand is down on the chair.

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.

First Date - S5-E20

Continuity mistake: While they are in the living room, Niles is telling Frasier about Phyllis, and he has his bottle of water in his left hand but as the shot changes and Frasier says "Oh, good lord", the bottle switches to Niles' right hand.

Roz and the Schnoz - S5-E21

Continuity mistake: Roz and Frasier are in Cafe Nervosa near the start of the show and her sunglasses are on the table. However, in a shot over Frasier's shoulder, they are not there anymore. They reappear in the next shot.

Roz and the Schnoz - S5-E21

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Daphne is admiring her faux sapphire earrings, she says that it is the 5-year anniversary of her starting her work at Frasier's apartment. She actually started working in the 1st episode - which was in the fall. This episode takes place in the spring.

The Life of the Party - S5-E22

Continuity mistake: At the singles party Frasier throws, Roz tells him she's in labour. She is not holding anything, but soon a small purse appears in her right hand, out of nowhere. When Vicky says "good luck" to her, the purse is nowhere to be seen.

Party, Party - S5-E23

Continuity mistake: After Roz has had the baby and has fallen asleep, the nurse comes in and watches Frasier kiss her on the forehead. Most of the time she is standing at the door with her hands behind her back, but in one shot her hands are in front of her and she is holding something white. When she flounces out after Frasier hits on her, she has nothing in her hands.

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.

Frasier: And though washing one's hands twenty to thirty times a day would be considered obsessive/compulsive, please bear in mind that your husband is a coroner. Thank you for your call, Jeanine. Roz, whom do we have next?

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!
