Frasier

Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Daphne are on the elevator; Daphne has a bag of groceries. In some shots several inches of a loaf of French bread is seen, but when she gets off the elevator the bag is sealed up with no bread visible. The bread becomes visible again in later shots as they talk at the door and go into the apartment.

A Midwinter Night's Dream - S1-E17

Plot hole: Niles phones Frasier to tell him Daphne is staying at his place because of the storm. Frasier's phone is in its usual place on the room divider/bookcase behind Marty's chair. After Frasier and Marty leave to rescue Daphne, Niles phones again and Eddie is standing up on a chair staring at the phone. Only problem is, the phone is over on Frasier's desk, where there normally is no phone. If he did have a phone there, it is only a few feet from the other one, which makes no sense.

Police Story - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: Early in the show, Frasier is at home - the rest of the gang have surprised him with a birthday cake. In one shot the candles are burning on the cake, in the next Frasier is cutting the cake and the candles have disappeared, with no time allowed to remove them.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show. Roz is sitting at a table with Bulldog. She picks up the stuffed dog he gave her and chases him to the door, leaving her purse behind. She then goes to the back, probably the Lady's Room. When she returns, she brings her purse with her, even though she left it on the table.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Just before Eddie drops his master's slippers by his chair, Marty moves his cane over to the other side of the chair. The handle is facing outward, but when the shot changes, it is now towards the couch, even though Marty didn't touch it again.

Adventures in Paradise (1) - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Frasier goes into his booth and puts down the magazine featuring Madeline with the page open. Bulldog comes in and looks at the page, and says how attractive she is. But it is definitely not the same page that Frasier had been looking at a couple of shots before.

Leapin' Lizards - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Eddie is sitting in Martin's chair while Daphne feeds him pate from a plate on Marty's table. At the same time she is scratching his ears. The shot changes, and without enough time for this to have happened naturally, Eddie is lying on the chair and Daphne has the plate in her hand.

Enemy at the Gate - S10-E2

Continuity mistake: Roz is in her booth and Kenny is talking to her. Her hair is hanging loosely in front of her ear but as Kenny says, "To hash out some rules", her hair is suddenly tucked behind her ear, even though she never touched it. (00:06:05)

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: During the scene in Frasier's apartment when he's holding a brunch for Mel, Daphne says "it was implied" and suddenly the pitcher of Bloody Marys in front of her has much more in it that it had in the shot before.

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Daphne are copying the names into the new get well card, we see Daphne using a pen with an orange lid. She puts the lid on the pen and sets it down. In the very next shot she is writing with the same pen.

Don't Go Breaking My Heart (3) - S10-E9

Continuity mistake: Niles is at Frasier's apartment, visiting with Marty. He takes some crackers out of his black fanny pack and puts the fanny pack behind him. We see it there when he stands up but there is a shot where there is nothing on the couch behind him. It then goes back to showing the fanny pack.

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?

Trivia: The producers were careful not to put stools in Cafe Nervosa, in order to distance it visually from the eponymous bar in "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.
