Frasier

Father of the Bride - S7-E2

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning , Daphne is talking to Frasier about her mother. As she says "she did bite through a kitchen spoon", her hand is up on her stomach, but in the next shot it's on her hip, with no time for a shift in position.

The Two Mrs. Cranes - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the kitchen pouring mini chocolate chip cookies from a bag into a bowl while talking to Daphne. The motion of him pouring (and the sound) doesn't stop while he talks but when the shot changes the bag is on the counter next to him.

Bla-Z-Boy - S9-E7

Continuity mistake: When we first see Marty on the floor oiling his chair, his cane is lying on the floor with the handle end pointing towards the kitchen. When he picks it up a few shots later, it has turned 180 degrees and the handle is pointing towards the door. At no time did he touch it.

The Impossible Dream - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: Frasier is leaving the booth - Roz is standing there holding several tapes in her hand. When the shot goes back to her, she has papers in her hand and there's no sign of the tapes. In the next shot, the tapes are suddenly on top of the tape machine.

The Kid (2) - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: After Rick has left Roz's apartment, she goes into the kitchen with the roses and just as she gets there Frasier knocks on the door. Within a couple of seconds she comes back with the roses in a vase, but she just didn't have enough time to do this in "real time".

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Abbie puts Niles' burning menu in the ice bucket where it remains for the rest of the scene, next to the bottle of champagne. Sometimes the menu is right up against the bottle and sometimes it is an inch or two apart - with no one touching either item.

Come Lie with Me - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Daphne drops Martin's eclair into a glass of orange juice. By the end of the scene, the eclair is sitting in a mug. No one moved it during that time.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Niles leaves the bedroom where he thinks he will meet Maris, her lover Shenkman comes in and notices the two roses crossed on the pillow. Once he crosses over to the bed, though, the roses have noticeably changed position.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: While Frasier, Niles, Martin, and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa, and as Clint comes in, the extra in the background is reading a newspaper, which goes from opened to closed to opened from shot to shot, with no time for her to change it.

Crane vs. Crane - S3-E19

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in Mr. Safford's study talking to him. As Frasier says "a little unconventional," his right hand goes up to his chin, gesturing. As Safford answers, Frasier's hands are grasped together in front of him, with no time for natural change.

Frasier Grinch - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: Just before the closing credits, Marty opens his gift from Frasier - a dressing gown, which he puts back down on top of the box in a disorganized heap. By the end of the scene, a shot shows the dressing gown neatly folded in the box.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Abby orders Frasier out of her office and she bends down to pick up his jacket from the floor, even though it had been on the chair throughout the scene. She then throws it and his overcoat out the door after him - we see the jacket land on the floor and the overcoat on his head. She slams the door and the shot goes to Frasier - the jacket is now draping his head, rather than the overcoat.

IQ - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, Niles and Frasier are shaping hamburger patties in the kitchen. Niles has a blue bottle of water which sits on the stove top in front of him. In one shot it suddenly appears on the counter to his right; even though Niles hadn't moved it. By the end of the scene it is back in front of him on the stove top.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: In the last scene of this part of the show, where Frasier is trying to figure out if Cassandra is romantically interested in him - he removes his outer clothes and stands in front of her closet. We see his clothes change position several times. Sometimes they are on the back of the chair, sometimes they are on the floor. His shoes also change places. In fact, the shoes appear to move on their own at one point and are pulled tidily to one side.

Frasier: Niles, I would shave my head for you.
Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.

A Day in May - S8-E23

Question: Beyond the obvious (he hasn't gotten over it or is still upset about it) is there a reason Martin didn't want to say anything at the parole hearing? And what was the point of showing this?

Answer: While he hasn't gotten over it, he also took into account what the shooter's mother said. He refused to make a statement either for or against him. He can't forgive the shooter, but he's gotten past the anger.
