What is... Cliff Clavin? - S8-E14

Continuity mistake: At the point Cliff is disputing the fact that he thought his answer was right, on the right-hand side you can see the woman player's, Agnes, score. It says $400. Then in the next shot it changes to $3300. Then in a little bit later it changes back to $400. (00:14:30)

What is... Cliff Clavin? - S8-E14

Continuity mistake: Just before they reveal the answers of Final Jeopardy, they take a wide shot, and Cliff's question (Who are 3 people who have never been in my kitchen) is already revealed. But when they take a tight shot and ask Cliff to reveal his question, it is covered up.

Cry Hard (1) - S8-E25

Continuity mistake: Sam, Norm, and Woody are helping Rebecca move into Robin Colcord's house. When a curious Norm opens a bedroom door, the wall is bare. The shot cuts to Rebecca then back to Norm, but now there is a desk with flowers and a vase on it, plus a picture hanging on the wall.

Bad Neighbor Sam - S9-E10

Continuity mistake: When Sam puts the paper from John on the bar it is next to a bowl, the next time we see it there is now more space between the bowl and the paper. Part of the paper is in the air, then the next shot when Sam picks up the paper it is lying flat on the bar.

Bowling255

Rat Girl - S9-E25

Continuity mistake: The second time Frasier and Lilith come into the bar Sam is putting ice in glasses for them. Sam finishes the second one and puts it on the bar. The shot changes he is still putting ice in the second glass.

Get Your Kicks on Route 666 - S10-E2

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is sitting at the bar talking about the trip he is going to take, Cliff walks over and sits down. There is a beer sitting in front of him - he pushes it forward and Sam moves it. The shot changes and the beer is back where Cliff had first moved it, and he is holding his own beer. For the rest of the scene his beer keeps appearing and disappearing while the other one keeps changing position.

Madame LaCarla - S10-E3

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Carla is sitting at a table in the bar, dressed as the new Madame LaCarla and is voicing her doubts about being the new Madame, you can see that Carla is only wearing one earring, the left. In other scenes she is wearing both.

The Norm Who Came in from the Cold - S10-E4

Continuity mistake: Carla tosses Rebecca an egg she is supposed to take care of, like a baby, for a $5 wager. The egg bounces off Rebecca's hands and over the bar onto the floor. In the next scene, Lilith and Frasier are walking into the bar and the egg was shown as being smashed on the bar itself. The next cutaway, with Lilith walking by the same spot, has no egg on the bar anymore. (00:03:40)

One for the Road (1) - S11-E26

Continuity mistake: After Don leaves the bar, a few minutes later Frasier shouts at him, "Run, Don! Run like the wind!" and Rebecca is left sitting alone at the table crying, but when it cuts to the overhead shot of the bar we see Don is still sitting at the table, even though he left five minutes earlier. (00:07:05 - 00:08:15)

Super Grover

The Bartender's Tale - S3-E23

Revealing mistake: When Frasier comes into the chalet after skiing he doesn't show any of the visible effects after a hard day on the slopes. Meaning, his face isn't even flushed from the cold, his hair is perfectly combed after wearing a hat and there is not even a drop of snow on his boots.

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know whether the coloured-in photos, which appear throughout the opening titles sequence, are real or made up for the show? If they ARE real, when George Wendt's name appears there's a shot of a man holding a newspaper with 'WE WIN' as the headline - does anybody know what this referred to?

Chimera

Answer: Here is the source of the "WE WIN" photo: http://www.oldnycphotos.com/nyny587ac.html Brooklyn, of all places.

Chosen answer: The pictures in the opening sequences are real pictures of people enjoying alcohol (from various dates), and are not meant to represent or include any of the cast members. The "we win" sign (most likely not a newspaper headline) is referring to the end of prohibition (1933) A fitting tribute to a show about drinking alcohol.

The word "Nazi" appears in the caption to a story underneath the headline. Maybe the headline refers to the Nazi surrender.
