Frasier

Our Parents, Ourselves - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: At the end of the restaurant scene, where Frasier, Roz, Martin and Roz's mother are eating, Frasier puts his crumpled-up napkin on one side of his plate, but at the end of the scene it has mysteriously switched to the other side without being moved by anyone.

The Impossible Dream - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: Niles and Frasier are looking at books trying to figure out Frasier's dream. When Daphne and Marty come in the door, the shot shows that the book that was on the end of the table has moved quite a distance and is now in front of Niles.

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Niles is holding baby Nathan in the hospital and Arleen takes him back because he's crying - suddenly the blanket is up around his head even though it was hanging loose before. (00:21:45)

Father of the Bride - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: Roz and Daphne are standing in front of the elevator talking about the wedding. Daphne is holding Frasier's choice of a bridesmaid's dress. In one shot, Daphne is holding it over her arm, but when she turns toward the door, with no time to change position naturally, she is holding the dress by the hanger.

She's the Boss - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Roz is talking to Frasier, Gil, and Bulldog at KACL and has her hands in front of her, with her mug in her left hand. In the next shot, as she says "everyone at her last station was scared to death of her", her mug is in her hand tucked up under her arm - with no time for her to change positions naturally.

She's the Boss - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Kate is arranging things in her office and has placed a black and white box on her desk. As she is telling Frasier how she wants him to spice up his show, the box changes position by about 45 degrees although no one touches it.

The Kid (2) - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Daphne are talking at Frasier's door, Daphne says "Now poor Roz really is in that predicament" and her arms are in front of her with her hands clasped. Niles says, "Do I smell chicken?" and immediately her arms are crossed, without enough time for her to change position.

Dial M For Martin - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Marty, Frasier, Niles, and Daphne are in Frasier's apartment, talking about Marty moving in with Niles - M.'s beer can and remote are sitting on his little table. In one shot they are quite close together, but in the next the can has moved about six inches forward.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Audio problem: Frasier is standing in his living room talking to Niles. We hear a knocking or tapping. As Frasier is expecting his date, Miranda, this might make sense, but they do not seem to hear it and make no move towards the door. A short time later the doorbell rings and Frasier's date arrives.

Roz, a Loan - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: Roz gives Frasier a gift of a decanter which he takes partially out of the box. By the next shot he has it back in the box and out of sight; with no time for this to happen naturally.

Author, Author - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: As Frasier and Niles are starting work on their book, Marty gets four snacks and a beer and sits down in his chair. He gets up and we see the two bags that were behind the beer and can of something are now in front of them. Marty never touched them during that time.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: In one of the sequences where Niles and Shenkman are running in and out of the bedroom, Shenkman sprays perfume around the bed. The roses that were on the pillow have now completely disappeared and never reappear although neither Niles nor Shenkman touched them.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in his booth with Bulldog lecturing him about his phony hero status, Bulldog is eating a cookie that goes from being semi-circular to having a large round bite out of it and then back to being semi-circular again.

IQ - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: Niles and Frasier are in the restaurant waiting for the geniuses to show up for lunch. Niles has his pills out and in one shot we see him put the cap back on, but the next shot shows him holding the cap and container apart from each other.

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?

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.
