Frasier

Mary Christmas - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: Kelly comes over to Frasier's to read a mock script for the Xmas parade Frasier wants to co-host. She puts her purse next to her on the couch but never opens it. Suddenly reading glasses appear next to the purse, which Kelly subsequently puts on to read.

Give Him the Chair! - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: In the episode "Call Me Irresponsible" from season 1, Frasier and Catherine are making out on Martin's old chair, which starts vibrating (probably because they inadvertently hit a switch on the side). But in "Give Him the Chair", Frasier tries to replace Martin's old chair by buying a new one which has a built-in massager. When Martin tries it, he looks horrified and says "That's disgusting", even though his beloved chair had the same feature.

Miss Right Now - S11-E19

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Frasier are in the cafe discussing how many patients have fallen in love with them, Frasier claims 13. But in the episode "The Maris Counsellor," he states no patient has ever fallen in love with him. OK, time has passed, but he's done hardly any private practice since then, and any he did do was shown anyway.

Bla-Z-Boy - S9-E7

Continuity mistake: After Martin lowers his chair and gets the bag of pretzels it cuts back to Frasier and you can see the bag still on the coffee table. Then it cuts back to Martin and he has the bag. (00:06:16)

IQ - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: Kenny enters the booth, and Dr. Nora's purse is on the edge of the desk. Immediately in the next shot it's gone. Then it's back. When Kenny leaves it's gone again. (00:10:25)

Everyone's a Critic - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the episode when Poppy is airing her first "arts in Seattle" show, Frasier, Kenny, and Gil convene in the hall outside Frasier's booth to talk. Right after Gil speaks during Frasier's monologue beginning with "I assure you, she is way over her depth here...", viewers can see Poppy through the window sitting at the booth with her mouth closed, looking around (and even up at the ceiling), appearing to be waiting. A split second later, the camera cuts to Poppy in mid-sentence during her live broadcast.

Frasier Gotta Have It - S5-E19

Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the episode, Frasier and Caitlin are talking at her apartment about their status and she is sitting on the side of his chair. He has his right hand between her knees and left fingers tapping on her left thigh when he says, "well, I have been terribly worried about this global warming situation." Immediately in the next shot when she responds to him, she is holding his left hand with hers, and his right hand is down on the chair.

Roz and the Schnoz - S5-E21

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Daphne is admiring her faux sapphire earrings, she says that it is the 5-year anniversary of her starting her work at Frasier's apartment. She actually started working in the 1st episode - which was in the fall. This episode takes place in the spring.

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.

Frasier: And though washing one's hands twenty to thirty times a day would be considered obsessive/compulsive, please bear in mind that your husband is a coroner. Thank you for your call, Jeanine. Roz, whom do we have next?

Caught in the Act - S11-E15

Trivia: When Nanette tells Frasier she's tired of playing her children's show character, she asks him if he knows what it's like to play the same character for twenty years. By this point, Kelsey Grammer had been playing Frasier for twenty years: eleven on 'Frasier' and nine on 'Cheers'.

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.
