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.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Frasier's to tape some CDs, and we see her take some cassettes out of her purse. The shot goes to Frasier and then back to her - the cassettes have disappeared. After he explains that he can't stay, we see Roz open her purse and take out the cassettes again.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: Niles and Daphne are on the couch talking about the meteor shower and Niles is holding Daphne's hand between his right hand and his left knee. In the next shot, without enough time for this to happen naturally, his right hand is on his right knee.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: Frasier is holding a paper with his story on it as he is talking to John Glenn in the conference room. The shot changes as Glenn says, "I don't want to go behind someone's back", and Frasier's hands are now clasped in front of him.

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 boardroom with Roz and her production team, Frasier is writing in a binder, which is on top of a couple of books. In some shots we see a couple of different books in front of him on the table. One of them is called "Mars," which he had put back in his briefcase at the beginning of the scene.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier, Niles, Daphne, Marty, and Abby are having dinner at a restaurant. Abby has a notepad and cellphone on the table. When Niles announces Donny has just walked in, the next shot shows Abby drinking champagne, but the notepad and cellphone have disappeared.

Daphne Returns - S8-E19

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Roz is in Cafe Nervosa reading a children's book. Frasier comes in and she puts the book behind her, presumably into her purse which is hanging on the chair. But throughout the scene, the book is sitting on the table in front of her.

The New Friend - S8-E7

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.

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.

Sliding Frasiers - S8-E13

Continuity mistake: While Frasier is singing on-stage to Monica, a shot shows Roz from the back, and her left hand is on the table - but in the next shot her hand is stretched out holding her date's hand.

Mary Christmas - S8-E8

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.

Lummie

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

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.

The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: While Marty is sitting with Eddie on his lap and talking to Niles, the dog's blue kennel tag goes from above Marty's hand to under Eddie's chin from one shot to the next.

Enemy at the Gate - S10-E2

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.

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.
