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.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier, Regan, Niles, and Poppy are at the ball - Frasier asks Regan to dance and she leaves her purse on the table, where we can see the strap hanging down over the edge. A couple of shots later, as they dance by, we can see the purse has changed position and the strap is lying on the table.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Marty is being interviewed at the Antiques Road Show, the expert's clipboard changes from being flat against his body to perpendicular to it - with no time for a natural shift in position.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Roz is in Cafe Nervosa with a laptop. Next to it are 3 or 3 crumpled pieces of paper or Kleenex. A couple of shots later the pile shrinks to maybe one piece - without Roz or anyone else touching them.

The Apparent Trap - S7-E9

Continuity mistake: Lilith takes on the job of pouring wine for Thanksgiving dinner - we see her pour 2 glasses but when the shot changes there are 3 full glasses of wine on the table even though there had been none before she started.

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.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: Simon has shown up at Daphne's shower and is standing at the bar/table with Roz and Holly. There is a bottle of champagne on the table, next to an ice bucket - but when Daphne drags Simon away the shot shows that the bottle has mysteriously made its way into the ice bucket.

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.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the kitchen to get some herbal tea for Regan - the box is mauve - in the first shot it is laying on its side but after that it is standing upright, although Frasier didn't touch it during that time.

The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits Roz and Frasier are sitting on his couch working. Roz is telling him that she has a date the next day - he is holding a magazine. But as she says "a month", the shot goes back to Frasier and he's holding papers rather than the magazine.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Marty, Niles, and Frazier return from the taping of the Antiques Road Show, Marty hangs up his blue windbreaker and then Frazier hangs up his gray raincoat, obscuring Marty's coat. But throughout the scene, all we see is Marty's blue jacket - where did the raincoat go?

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: When Daphne goes to Niles's place to see him, she sits down on the couch and slides her purse behind her. A couple of shots later Niles gets up and now we can see her purse on the couch to her left. At no time did she make any movements that could explain its change of position.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Niles and Daphne are in the elevator and the door opens to reveal Frasier standing at his door holding Eddie. In the first couple of shots his arm is over Eddie's chest and legs, but then changes to his arm being under Eddie's front leg.

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.

Out With Dad - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: Marty is on the couch talking to Edward about how he came out, and in several shots his hands are laced together on his stomach. In the succeeding shots, with no time to change, his arms are folded up on his chest.

The Late Dr. Crane - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the hospital waiting room and Phil (the guy who later pretends he is Frasier) is reading a newspaper - he folds it up before talking to Frasier but in the next shot, from another angle, we see him folding it up again.

The Late Dr. Crane - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: Niles has just met Mel in her office, and she is wearing a white coat - she is brushing off her sleeve in one shot, and then unbuttoning the coat in the next, without enough time to have switched that quickly.

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.

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: Counting his role on Cheers, Kesley Grammar has played Fraiser for twenty years. Is this the record for the longest portrayal of a character by a TV actor?

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.
