The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Luke and Frasier are talking in the restaurant, and Frasier asks, "So Luke, you're a boat enthusiast?", his forearm is resting on the table. When the shot cuts back to him, only his hand is resting on the table, with no time for him to change position.

The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: Niles is sitting at a table in Cafe Nervosa looking at a magazine - he has a page folded back and we can a large photo on the page. When Roz comes over to use her cell, the shot goes back to Niles and now he has the mag opened at a different page. There's another change when Frasier comes over to use his cellphone. At no time did Niles actually turn a page or even have time to do so.

Continuity mistake: Throughout the Christmas parade we can see that the headphone/microphone is on the left side of Frasier's head. During the first break just after one of the crew members is telling Mary that her improv is really good he tells Frasier to lighten up. Just after he says this you can see that the headphone/microphone is now on the right side of Frasier.

Mary Christmas - S8-E8

Frasier's Edge - S8-E9

Continuity mistake: Marty gives Niles a mug which says "World's Greatest Psychiatrist." He puts it down on the coffee table with the lettering facing the camera. He then leaves with Daphne and a few shots later, we can see the mug again, but it is turned around and we see the blank side. When Frasier leaves the apartment, it's back in its original position. Nobody ever touched it.

Cranes Unplugged - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: Frederick is visiting and sitting on Frasier's couch with headphones on, playing a Gameboy. Frasier pulls off Freddy's headphones, which then lie around his neck while Frederick continues to hold the Gameboy. In the next shot, the headphones and Gameboy are on the coffee table and Freddy is sitting quite a bit to the left of them.

Motor Skills - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Martin is sitting on the coffee table hugging the puppy who is nuzzling his face. He says "No" to Roz and in the next shot the puppy is no longer near his face.

Motor Skills - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Frasier has a college catalogue that he takes over to the phone to call for information. Between the time he puts the catalogue next to the phone to the time he makes his call, the page changes, even though he doesn't touch it.

Motor Skills - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Roz takes the puppy from Marty and puts her hands around its hindquarters, but in the next shot her hands are up around its front legs. There was no time for any change of position.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in the conference room with Roz, his binder changes from shot to shot. Sometimes there are 4 brightly coloured tabs at the top, sometimes only 2. The same shots show a change in the papers on the table too.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Martin is eating at the coffee table, you see the front of the tomato sauce/ketchup bottle, then the back, then the front again. Also the spice that was on the table moves without anyone touching it.

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.

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!
