Quotes

Daphne: Oh, come on now, Dr Crane. It's not like men have never used sex to get what they want.

Frasier: How can we possibly use sex to get what we want?! Sex IS what we want!

Mistakes

Quite late in the show, Nikos and Frasier are sitting down talking. Behind Nikos someone picks up a glass of wine which is next to a bottle. The next shot shows a plate there as well, even though no one put one down. It disappears a couple of shots later - again, no one went near it. See more...

Trivia

In the opening credits Niles mentions that Daphne had lost 9 lbs. 12 oz at the weight-loss spa. This is probably a deliberate reference to the birth of Janes Leeves' (Daphne) daughter. According to www.imdb.com, she was born in Jan 2001 and weighed 9 lbs. 12 oz. See more...

Across whole show

Early in the run of Frasier, Lilith arrives in Seattle for a visit. Niles is very cold with her, as he claims she laughed at his wedding vows. Niles had been married to Maris for 15 years when they separated during the 3rd or 4th season. How then could Lilith have been at their wedding? At that time Frasier would have not have even known Lilith, and was probably involved with Diane Chambers. [Niles did not say Lillith laughed at the vows DURING the wedding (in fact he implies the opposite). Perhaps she read them years after the fact and wounded Niles' pride by laughing at the lines he wrote?]
Edit
Daphne's brother Simon, who turns up in several of the later seasons, has no trace of a Manchester accent. It sounds like a fake Cockney, London accent. Surely the casting people could have found someone from northern England to fill the role. [My family comes from Greater Manchester & my sister moved to Gloucestershire a number of years ago & now she (& my niece) speaks with a broad Gloucester accent.]
Edit

Author, Author (series 1)

In Frasier's apartment Niles is apparently typing on his laptop, which when viewed from behind is off. The screen is totally black. [Niles has one of those laptops with the old LCD screen, to see what he sees, you have to be pretty much at his angle.]
Edit
The publisher phones Frasier and Niles at KACL and tells them that Reader's Digest is interested in serializing their book. Problem is, RD doesn't serialize books, it condenses them. ["The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", by William L. Shirer, "Nineteen Weeks: America, Britain, and the Fateful Summer of 1940" by Norman Moss, "Terrorism in Fact and Propaganda" by Edward Herman, "Heartstrings and Tail-Tuggers" by Penny Porter, "Deliver Us From Evil" by Thomas Dooley and many many others were condensed and serialised in Readers' Digest.]
Edit

Give Him the Chair! (series 1)

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. [What someone can't change their mind? At best one could say this makes Martin a hypocrite but not a mistake.]

The Good Son (series 1)

Frasier is told that his show has only 30 seconds left and then he gets cut off to go to the hourly news. Yet when he stands up you can see the clock on the wall showing 7 minutes to the hour. [If Frasier's radio show finishes 7 minutes to the hour, it would be to allow 7 minutes of news, so the next show can start on the hour, just like other programs on the radio.]
Edit
When Daphne is hired, Frasier assumes she will live out. Marty wants to her live in and says she could have the room across from his. Throughout the series, Daphne's room is down a hall behind the kitchen and Marty and Frasier's rooms are next to each other in the same hall. Even in the first show, Niles takes Marty's suitcases down the hall behind the fireplace. [People can change rooms. They may have decided to change them later on.]
Edit

Flour Child (series 2)

The Get Well Card that Frasier has to steal isn't musical at the start but is musical when he tries to return it to the hospital room. [Early on in the show, in Frasier's booth, Roz shows Frasier the card and it is musical. Frasier had to replace it but we must assume it is musical as well, as it is the same card.]
Edit

Are You Being Served? (series 4)

When Niles gets an call from Maris on his cellphone, he reaches for his cellphone in his jacket pocket before the phone rings. [My phone starts to vibrate before the ring tone is heard.]
Edit

Roz's Krantz & Gouldenstein are Dead (series 4)

In this episode Niles states that Maris never goes on cruises because of her fear of buffets. However, Maris goes on cruises, in both the season three episode "Moon Dance" and the season five episode "Voyage of the Damned". [He was making a joke.]
Edit

Head Game (series 4)

During the basketball game, Reggie comes up to Niles to ask him about his poor shooting game despite hearing the players moving and the ball hitting the rim off screen and there was no mention of timeout. In a real game of basketball unless there was a timeout or he was being subbed, no player in their right mind would just walk off and start discussing something with someone during a game. [Unlikely or even impossible events are a central part of any comedy, and this is just one such event. (And why would anyone 'in his right mind' be consulting a psychiatrist for superstitious good-luck magic anyway?).]
Edit

The Perfect Guy (series 5)

Frasier seems jealous in this episode that Dr Webber went to Oxford, he even says, "Ohh well, even better," in comparison to his own Harvard. However, in several other episodes we are told that Frasier went to both Harvard and Oxford so why the jealously? Similarly in other episodes, he never mentions Oxford, only Harvard as where he went to University. [Since his degree is from Harvard, taking a class or two (or a semester or two) at Oxford doesn't have the same panache as actually having your degree from Oxford.]

The 1000th Show (series 5)

Frasier and Niles get stuck on the Monorail and have to go back to the previous station because of an electrical failure up ahead. Why then, does a train zoom past them going in the direction they wanted to go? [Clearly, the train that passes is on a different rail to them, and it is their rail that has the electrical problem.]
Edit

Decoys (series 6)

Early on in the show, Martin, Niles and Frasier are in the living room talking about Daphne and Donny - Frasier is addressing a long envelope. He gets up from the table with it in his left hand and walks towards his desk. He gestures with his empty right hand as he walks. He gets to his desk and suddenly the envelope is in his right hand, with no time to have switched it. [As one shot changes to another, one can see Frasier, at the edge of the shot, changing said envelope from his LEFT hand to his RIGHT hand.]
Edit

Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz (series 6)

In the scene in the store, Roz is looking at a yellow sweater. After she leaves, Frasier asks a clerk to find him one in another size. The clerk comes back with a sweater in exactly the same colour, but a totally different style. [Character mistake - he brought the wrong sweater. Not a film mistake.]
Edit

Roz, a Loan (series 6)

Marty is comforting Eddie who he says has been taunted by a blue jay. This particular bird is not found in Seattle - it is found in much of North America but not west of the Rockies. Marty, who had spent all his live in Seattle, would not make this mistake - and if he had spotted a blue jay there it would have been highly unusual and remarked on. [Living in one place for your whole life doesn't necessarily mean that you're an expert on all of the bird species that live there. I've lived in the same area of the USA for almost all of my life, and I couldn't tell you whether any particular bird (except for obviously out-of-place ones, like penguins or flamingos) is uncommon.]
Edit

Good Grief (series 6)

Frasier is at the picnic and is holding his rolled-up poster. He calls out "if I could have your attention please" and the next shot shows the poster has disappeared. [You can see for a fraction of a second he was moving his left hand towards the table while he was looking at it. Then, on the wide shot you can see the poster on the table.]
Edit
Frasier is getting everyone together to have a shot at the pinata and we can see a little girl in a bright pink dress running on the other side of the picnic table. As Frasier says "one for the children", she is suddenly standing right in front of him. There was no time for her to get there naturally. [From the time she was gone from the frame (7.55) to where she was in front of Frasier wasn't instantaneous. In fact, it was for more than a second. Given 1 second from a running start the girl would have been able to get to her position by running a length of about 6 - 8 feet, even without the time that was cut from editing. Frasier wasn't at the side of the picnic table when he started gathering everyone, then he was when he picked up the stick and said "Now, what we have here.".]
Edit

Dark Side of the Moon (series 7)

Frasier lives in a high rise, apparently on the 19th floor (his is 1901). When Daphne throws the other tenant's laundry off the balcony, we hear the crash of cars below within a second or two (she had earlier explained to her therapist that she caused a car accident). In real life, of course, it would have taken longer for them to reach the ground. [There is no evidence to say exactly what happened when she threw the clothes off but it doesn't neccesarily reflect it reached the car. One of the drivers might have seen the clothes being thrown off, been distracted and crashed.]
Edit Corrected by Lummie

Cranes Go Caribbean (series 8)

When Daphne and Niles are at the bait shop right at the end, they both have 2 shadows - a clear indication of studio lighting. [No, it's a clear indication of two light sources inside the shop.]
