Frasier

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.

Father of the Bride - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: Roz and Daphne are standing in front of the elevator talking about the wedding. Daphne is holding Frasier's choice of a bridesmaid's dress. In one shot, Daphne is holding it over her arm, but when she turns toward the door, with no time to change position naturally, she is holding the dress by the hanger.

Hot Pursuit - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Roz leaves yellow papers neatly on Frasier's coffee table and leaves. In later shots, while the others are talking, we see the papers become scattered - even though no one goes near them.

Momma Mia - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: In the kitchen of the cabin, Niles throws his blue napkin on the table, which had nothing on it. A couple of shots later, as he and Frasier leave the kitchen, the table now somehow has 3 blue napkins on it.

Father of the Bride - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: When Marty comes into the living room, he puts the container of jerky down on top of the book on the right side of the coffee table. A few minutes later, when Donny takes a piece, the container is on top of the book on the left side of the table. No one went near it in the meantime.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: Dr. Myshkin arrives at Frasier's from the Russian embassy to discuss the bear clock. He puts a diary on the coffee table where it sits to the right of the vodka, near Niles. Suddenly in one shot it has moved to the left, near Frasier. Later in the scene it has switched sides again.

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.

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

Father of the Bride - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning , Daphne is talking to Frasier about her mother. As she says "she did bite through a kitchen spoon", her hand is up on her stomach, but in the next shot it's on her hip, with no time for a shift in position.

The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: Roz and Bulldog are sitting on her couch, talking about Baby Alice. Roz has her arms folded in front of her, but in the next shot she is leaning back with her arm behind her and her hand on the couch. The change in shot also shows a change in the position of the toys on the coffee table in front of them. The Tigger puppet goes from one side of the table to the other and the little teddy turns around 180 degrees.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: During the scene in Frasier's apartment when he's holding a brunch for Mel, Daphne says "it was implied" and suddenly the pitcher of Bloody Marys in front of her has much more in it that it had in the shot before.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Marty is making tea for Regan in the kitchen and as he says "Lord in heaven", the kettle goes from being on the burner in the shot before to being on the counter, even though no one touched it.

Radio Wars - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: Frasier is sitting at his table composing a letter to Carlos and the Chicken, while talking to Niles about it. The two large reference books on the table in front of them change positions during the scene, without them touching the books.

Back Talk - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When Frazier comes into his booth to begin his show, Roz is reading a book. She says "Happy Birthday" to him and we can still see the book in front of her; but in the next shot it is lying on the console next to her, without any time for her to have put it there.

Everyone's a Critic - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: Frasier is sitting on his couch with Poppy, dropping hints about having an arts show on KACL - she has her hands folded on her knee. As Daphne says "he means your mother", the shot changes, and Poppy is suddenly holding a glass of wine, with no time for this to have happened.

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?

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: There's probably an obvious answer to this but is there any actual in-show significance to the 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs' song heard at the end of every episode? I ask mainly because I remembered there was one show in particular where Frasier unintentionally scars Lilith emotionally and pretty much cements the end of their relationship over a misunderstanding about scrambled eggs. Were there any similar conflicts over a tossed salad?

Answer: In the last episode, they explained that Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs is a metaphor for the mixed-up people to whom Frasier dispenses his radio psychiatric advice.
