When a Man Loves Two Women - S6-E21
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Fay are at her place talking on the couch, there is a throw that sometimes is at the end of the couch on the armrest and sometimes is on the back of the couch, behind Fay.
Continuity mistake: While Niles and Frasier are discussing Marty, we can see an old shoe on the footstool, but as the shot changes the shoe is gone and there is a newspaper there instead.
Continuity mistake: Eddie has been playing on Niles' couch, and the pillows are all over the place and there are a couple of other things on there as well. After Marty's chair arrives, Niles says to Frasier, "You have to take him back now," and suddenly the couch is all tidied up, with the pillows at the ends. A couple of shots go by and suddenly the couch is a mess again.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Niles, Frasier, and Marty are talking about the spa, the spa products on the coffee table in front of Niles and Frasier keep changing position.
Continuity mistake: Late in the show, Frasier throws his notebook on the coffee table and it lies flat near the books. A couple of shots later, it is on top of one of the books, with pages flipped back. No one went near it in the meantime.
Continuity mistake: As part of his divorce settlement from Maris, Niles gains ownership of Shady Glen, Maris' mountain home. After this episode, Shady Glen is never seen or mentioned again. What's even odder is that Niles and the rest of the characters over the years go to mountain cabins, which makes no sense because wouldn't they just use Niles' place?
Continuity mistake: Frasier goes into the kitchen to get Niles some water; he gets an empty glass goblet, then opens the fridge and takes out a bottle of water and then it cuts to the glass sitting on the counter already full of water.
Continuity mistake: Niles puts the cap of the solvent can on the coffee table but a couple of shots later it has moved about 8 inches away, even though he didn't touch it. (00:04:10)
Continuity mistake: Niles leaves the kitchen with a small tray of devilled eggs to serve his guests - as the shot changes to him coming into the dining area, he is carrying a different tray, with different appetizers on it, including some grapes. (00:08:35)
Continuity mistake: During the part of the show where they are getting ready to play Murder we can see empty punch glasses on the table - in another shot we see three even though no one went near them. This changes back to 2 after the lights come on - unlikely anyone helped themselves to punch when the lights were out.
Continuity mistake: If you look closely at the couch in the first scene ("A Valentine for Niles") it is not the same couch used during the rest of the run of Frasier - it looks brand new and it doesn't quite have the same texture or look. It makes sense, as Niles sets fire to the couch at the end of the scene.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier is saying goodbye to Mr. Rugly, he knocks over Mr. Rugly's coffee mug with his umbrella. The mug is tipped off the table but in the next shot Mr. Rugly grabs it - but in real time, by this point the mug would have already hit the floor.
Continuity mistake: During the closing credits, Roz is sitting at in Cafe Nervosa with her little black purse on the table. While she is preparing her coffee and flirting across the room at a guy, her purse disappears from the table for the rest of the scene.
Continuity mistake: Niles runs into the kitchen where he finds Frasier cleaning the oven. As Frasier stands up, one of the cuffs on his rubber gloves has been turned over, and the other hasn't. A couple of shots later they are both neatly folded over. As Frasier leaves the kitchen, they are back to the first position. At no time did he adjust them.

Continuity mistake: Martin was holding a little blue bag on Eddie's head to comfort him; when he gets up he tosses it on the coffee table, but when the shot changes it is sitting several inches away from its original spot.
Continuity mistake: Niles throws a long white cloth over his shoulder and heads for the kitchen. When he reaches the kitchen the cloth is much shorter in back than it was the shot before. (00:04:40)
Audio problem: Dr. Nora's mother is pounding on the glass of Frasier's booth. She then wags her finger at Nora but the sound of her pounding continues, even though she's no longer doing it.
Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24
Continuity mistake: When Niles and Kit are at Frasier's apartment, Kit does a quick dance with her arms out and tells them Niles is taking her to Euro Disney. A couple of shots later her little purse is back under her arm, even though she had no time to pick it up from the bookcase.
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.
