A Man, a Plan and a Gal: Julia - S11-E2
Continuity mistake: When Julia answers her cellphone, she bunches up her napkin in her hand, but the next shot shows the napkin lying flat on her lap again; this would be almost impossible to do in such a short time with only one hand free.
Continuity mistake: Poppy is sitting in Frasier's chair in his booth and as she says "all these buttons, how do you do it?", she slaps her hand down on the console. As he begins to answer her, the hand is back in her lap.
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 Frasier and Niles are talking about Freddy, the ice cream carton on Marty's table goes from being parallel with the remote to being perpendicular - and then changes position again - no one goes near it during their conversation.
Continuity mistake: At the very end of the show, when Frasier, Niles and Martin are on the balcony, all three have their hands and arms folded in front of them, leaning on the railing. The shot then goes to behind them, and Frasier is standing with his arms straight out, and only his hands on the railing.
Continuity mistake: When Marty bangs open the crane's cage, he is about a foot away from where he had been in the previous shot, when the crane pecked him on the rear end. To achieve the latter he had to be fairly close to the bird, but to accidentally open the cage easily by pushing at it with his cane, he had to be standing farther away, or it wouldn't have worked. He moves that distance from shot to shot and it just wouldn't have happened in real time.
Agents in America, Part III - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: Roz is at Frazier's talking about a possible replacement for him at KACL. As she says "you should she her nails", her arms are crossed over her chest but in the very next shot, they are down by her sides, with no time for the change.
Continuity mistake: After Frasier is left alone in the apartment, we can see a glass of sherry and a can of beer on the coffee table, but neither item was on the table when he was talking to the others before they left the apartment. Roz's purse also shifted from the couch to the little glass table during the shot change. (00:21:20)
Continuity mistake: Roz has just received a call about Marty's missing chair and as Frasier comes into her booth, she is writing it down. As she says "I found the chair", she hands him the paper - but she goes from writing to handing it to him with no time in between. (00:16:35)
Something Borrowed, Someone Blue (1) - S7-E23
Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in his apartment, trying to get Daphne away from Niles, the book and decorative pieces on his coffee table change position from shot to shot.
The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5
Continuity mistake: Bulldog is near Frasier's apartment door with baby Alice and she is facing the door. When Roz walks towards them and asks, "Bulldog do you want a job?", Alice suddenly has her back to the door, with no time for the change.
Continuity mistake: At the start of the show, Frasier is looking at a brochure and he puts a hand on his knee as he says "Gore Vidal.", the next shot shows both hands on the brochure as he says ".he hates everything."
Continuity mistake: At the end of the show Frasier, Niles and their dad are having drinks and Niles goes to top off Marty's shot glass - but just as he pours the drink, Martin pulls it away. In real life the drink would have ended up on the floor, but the scene continues as Niles keeps pouring into the glass.
Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6
Continuity mistake: Roz arrives at Frasier's and puts her scarf, coat, and purse behind her on the couch. In the next shot her purse and scarf are sitting on the coffee table.
Continuity mistake: At the hospital the nurse comes over to talk to Frasier about his father - her paper on her clipboard is flipped over the back of it and her hand is holding the side of it. A couple of shots later, with no opportunity to change positions, the paper is no longer flipped over and her hand is lying on top of the clipboard.
When a Man Loves Two Women - S6-E21
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Fay are at her place talking on the couch, there is a throw that sometimes is at the end of the couch on the armrest and sometimes is on the back of the couch, behind Fay.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the show, Daphne, Niles, Sherry, and Martin are in Frasier's bathroom where he is trying to take a bath. He starts talking to Sherry - she is sitting on the ledge at the end of the tub. From one shot to the next she has her left leg crossed over her right, then her right over her left, and then both legs uncrossed. She did not have time to shift her position and there is no "residual movement" that would have been natural had she been fidgeting while he talked to her.
And the Whimper is... - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: At the awards ceremony Frasier is being introduced to his rival Fletcher's mother. At one point Fletcher is holding his mother's hand but in the next shot their hands are nowhere near each other.
Three Dates and a Breakup (2) - S4-E20
Continuity mistake: While Marty and Frasier are fighting Marty smashes some plates. The shot changes to the living room with Frasier apologizing and then switches back again. However, now all the smashed crockery has disappeared to be replaced by what looks to be a bowl and a tumbler.
Continuity mistake: Frasier is based on the character originally created on Cheers. In Fraiser, he lives with his father who is a retired police man. On Cheers, Frasier once mentioned his father was a scientist. It's also worth noting that in one episode of Cheers, John Mahoney, who was to later play Frasier's dad, turns up as a pianist. Frasier also said on Cheers that his father was dead. When Ted Danson made a guest appearance on Frasier, Frasier admitted that he had lied about his father since the two had been arguing so much.
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.
