Continuity mistake: Abbie puts Niles' burning menu in the ice bucket where it remains for the rest of the scene, next to the bottle of champagne. Sometimes the menu is right up against the bottle and sometimes it is an inch or two apart - with no one touching either item.

Continuity mistake: Abby orders Frasier out of her office and she bends down to pick up his jacket from the floor, even though it had been on the chair throughout the scene. She then throws it and his overcoat out the door after him - we see the jacket land on the floor and the overcoat on his head. She slams the door and the shot goes to Frasier - the jacket is now draping his head, rather than the overcoat.

Continuity mistake: Abbie and the gang are in the restaurant for dinner. Frasier has his elbow on the table over his menu and Abbie says, "In front of your father," and the camera angle now shows Frasier holding the menu. After Abbie responds to Marty's lawyer joke, Frasier's hand is back down on top of the menu.

Continuity mistake: When Abbie arrives at Frasier's apartment, she puts her purse on the coffee table; the strap is hanging between the couch and the table. When Frasier offers to walk her to the elevator, she goes to get her purse and it has flipped over with the strap fully visible - even though no one went near it.

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is carrying Abbie's coat to his door, he is holding it about 10 inches below the shoulders, but as the camera changes to him coming through the door, he is holding it about 6 inches higher, with no time to shift position.
Continuity mistake: Roz comes back to the restaurant table, after phoning her babysitter, and says, "I have to go". At this point her purse is over her wrist. As she finishes saying, "Alice got a bead up her nose", she is holding the purse by its strap. A few shots later it is over her wrist again, even though she never moved it.
Continuity mistake: Frasier is talking to Luke in the restaurant early in the show. Luke's hand switches its position several times from shot to shot - from one hand on the table to both hands on the table and then back again.
Continuity mistake: Roz goes to Frasier's to tell him Luke has been seeing someone else - while they are drinking in the kitchen, the level of her drink changes without her drinking or having a refill.
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.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Luke are on Luke's boat, Luke is holding a book and some yellow papers while they talk. Sometimes the sheets are on top of the book, and sometimes they are underneath the book.
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: When Roz opens her gift of a bracelet from Frasier, he puts it on her and she feels guilty, so she goes to call Luke - but as she leaves the table, there is suddenly no sign of the box the bracelet came in.
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.
