Frasier

The Club - S2-E18

Visible crew/equipment: During the closing credits, Frasier is sitting on his couch with a platter of meat beside him. Eddie is sitting up and begging for it and while he is doing this we can see the distinct shadow of his trainer's hand and arm against the couch. The hand goes higher and Eddie waves his paws higher and as the hand goes down, Eddie lowers his paws. Eddie keeps his eye on the trainer during this whole sequence. Once Frasier gives Eddie the platter of meat, the shadow disappears.

The Gift Horse - S5-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Frasier and Daphne are sitting talking in the sitting room, Frasier stands and the camera angle shows the fake wall above the fireplace - you can see the flue and that the wall stops just over where the shot normally finishes. There is visibly no proper wall behind the fireplace, you can see clear through to the construction behind.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Visible crew/equipment: When Frasier is getting ready to leave his booth while Bulldog starts his show, through the door on the left we can see a fairly thick white cable suspended in the air. It is visible for a couple of shots, but when Frasier opens the door to leave, it is gone.

Three Faces of Frasier - S7-E21

Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the show, Marty and Frasier are sitting in the living room talking. Eddie is curled up right next to Frasier on the couch. There are a number of shots focused on Frasier and Eddie and on the bottom of the screen one can see something flick by a couple of times - and in one shot there is definitely a couple of inches of a grey metal pole of some sort, about the thickness of a broom handle.

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.

Guns N' Neuroses - S11-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Daphne is yelling from the kitchen door about Marty not storing his gun properly we can see pole-shaped shadows passing over her head on the shelves behind her. These cannot be explained by the actor's movements.

Trivia: The producers were careful not to put stools in Cafe Nervosa, in order to distance it visually from the eponymous bar in "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.
