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.

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.

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.

My Fair Frasier - S5-E7

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Frasier gives Roz an evening purse in a box. She puts it back in the box and as they talk we can see the edge of the box - from one shot to the next we can sometimes see the strap hanging out and sometimes not. The camera angle does not change.

Frasier's Imaginary Friend - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: When Marty does his exercises, Eddie watches from the recliner and his bottom is just about in the center of the seat, but as Daphne heads to the door, his posterior is much closer to the arm of the chair, even though he never moved.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: At the very end of the show, when Frasier, Niles and Martin are on the balcony, all three have their hands and arms folded in front of them, leaning on the railing. The shot then goes to behind them, and Frasier is standing with his arms straight out, and only his hands on the railing.

The Zoo Story - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Marty bangs open the crane's cage, he is about a foot away from where he had been in the previous shot, when the crane pecked him on the rear end. To achieve the latter he had to be fairly close to the bird, but to accidentally open the cage easily by pushing at it with his cane, he had to be standing farther away, or it wouldn't have worked. He moves that distance from shot to shot and it just wouldn't have happened in real time.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show Frasier, Niles and their dad are having drinks and Niles goes to top off Marty's shot glass - but just as he pours the drink, Martin pulls it away. In real life the drink would have ended up on the floor, but the scene continues as Niles keeps pouring into the glass.

The Kid (2) - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Roz and Frasier are in his kitchen talking and Roz has a bottle of water. In one shot we see the bottle cap on the counter, but in the next shot it has disappeared.

Voyage of the Damned - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: While Frasier, Roz, and Marty are at the table on the ship, Frasier is trying to write his speech. His pen switches from being in his hand to being on the table, several times, from shot to shot.

The Zoo Story - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Bebe and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa and Bebe is explaining a radio idea she has. As she says "all of Seattle will share", Roz is picking at her muffin, but in the next shot Roz has her hands on her stomach.

The Gift Horse - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: Marty and Sherry are looking at old photos to use at Marty's birthday party - we can see one in Sherry's hand that has noticeable brown marks down the back, as though it had been glued in an album. The next shot shows Marty passing this one to her, even though in the shot before it was in her hand. When Sherry passes the picture over to Niles and Frasier, in the shot when they get it, it's not the same photo, as it is clean on the back.

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.

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!
