Frasier

Hot Pursuit - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: When Kenny comes to Roz's hotel room, Frasier answers the door and his pyjama collar is tucked in under his robe. A couple of shots later it is outside his robe, though he never touched it, and in later shots it is back neatly under his robe.

Hot Pursuit - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Roz are in the hotel room talking, her champagne glass switches from her right hand to her left hand, from one shot to another, with no time to have happened naturally.

Hot Pursuit - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: When Roz is getting ready for the reception at the convention, her wrap is hung neatly over the back of the couch. After she answers the phone and passes it to Frasier, the wrap is suddenly opened up and draped much more messily over the couch. Her purse has also changed position on the coffee table.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Mel and Niles are sitting on the couch at Frasier's. She is very upset and starts to open her purse for a hanky. In one shot she is fumbling with her purse and in the next the hanky is already in her hand - and not enough time to have done this naturally.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Frasier goes to get a newspaper out of the curbside kiosk, and catches his jacket in it. He places the newspaper to his right on top of the rack beside it and the shot changes to Regan coming out of the florist behind him. Then we see the newspaper in his left hand, without having time to have picked it up.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Frasier and Martin are having breakfast and we can see an orange napkin in Marty's lap. While he is talking, the camera angle behind his shoulder shows his left hand against his cheek. Right after that the napkin appears on the table to the left - with no time for him to have moved his hand and put it there.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa and Roz is looking at a newspaper while Frasier talks about giving Donny a bachelor party. Roz puts the paper in her lap, but in the next shot over her shoulder we can see that she is still holding the paper up.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Niles comes into Cafe Nervosa holding a newspaper and begins to talk to Frasier and Roz. As he says "mere words cannot", the shot changes and the next shot shows the newspaper has flipped over to the other side in his hand. He didn't have time to do this naturally.

Three Faces of Frasier - S7-E21

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Frasier, Martin, and Daphne are sitting at the table talking about getting older. At one point Martin says "when people reach our stage in life" and his left hand is holding his coffee cup. But as the camera cuts to Frasier we can see Martin's hand in the left corner of the screen, up in the air, without the cup. The next shot shows it back on the table, holding the cup again. All this happens too quickly for the changes in real time.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Daphne's shower, saying "God, he sounds just like a prince," in reference to Simon - in her left hand is a drink and her right hand is positioned down, as though it is in her pocket. In the next shot she is still holding her drink in her left hand, but is giving Daphne a drink with her right hand - it just appears out of nowhere.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: Near the start of the episode when Frasier comes home, Daphne quickly clears all the beer cans and mess on the lounge table. After she asks Frasier how he is and he replies, "Where's Simon?". The next time we see the table the cans and all the mess on the table have reappeared.

Lummie

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: While Frasier is talking to Daphne about wooing Holly, the wine bottle on the coffee table changes position more than once - from sitting on a book on the left of the tray to being on the bare table on the right and then back again to the left of the tray, but not on the book. Nobody touches it during this time.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: When Roz comes over to meet Simon for their date, she is standing at the door talking and one strap from her shoulder bag is hanging down from the shoulder. The shot from behind her shows both straps are on her shoulder, and then the shot goes back to the front - it's down again. At no time did she adjust it.

Caught in the Act - S11-E15

Trivia: When Nanette tells Frasier she's tired of playing her children's show character, she asks him if he knows what it's like to play the same character for twenty years. By this point, Kelsey Grammer had been playing Frasier for twenty years: eleven on 'Frasier' and nine on '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!
