Frasier

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.

Halloween (1) - S5-E3

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode when Frasier reveals to everyone that Roz is the one who's pregnant, we see Peri Gilpin step into the shot at the top of the stairs too early. She steps back behind the wall and then walks back out again a second later to say her line.

The Apparent Trap - S7-E9

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Frasier and Lilith meet in the living room, where Frederick has created a romantic atmosphere, Frasier has a long speech about how Lilith is not going to get him back, ending with "I need to be finessed!" and Bebe Neuwirth goes out of character and begins to giggle, before she quickly covers her mouth and pulls herself together. Though Lilith might have found Frasier's comment amusing, it would definitely not be in character for her to giggle like that.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Marty is making tea for Regan in the kitchen and as he says "Lord in heaven", the kettle goes from being on the burner in the shot before to being on the counter, even though no one touched it.

The Adventures of Bad Boy and Dirty Girl - S3-E7

Revealing mistake: Frasier comes in complaining how workmen in the service elevator have dribbled chili dog on his foot. He is holding out his shoe saying "How ever will I get that stain out", and Eddie runs over and starts licking what we think is the shoe. Frasier makes a comment about dog saliva being the universal solvent. In fact, Eddie does not even touch the shoe, but licks the floor in front of Frasier. Obviously the floor was treated with something Eddie would enjoy licking up.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in the men's room crying to Frasier about Sharon, he has toilet tissue in his hand which sometimes is bunched up and sometimes is hanging about 10 inches down, even though he never changes it.

Radio Wars - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: Frasier is sitting at his table composing a letter to Carlos and the Chicken, while talking to Niles about it. The two large reference books on the table in front of them change positions during the scene, without them touching the books.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Abbie and the gang are in the restaurant for dinner. Frasier has his elbow on the table over his menu and Abbie says, "In front of your father," and the camera angle now shows Frasier holding the menu. After Abbie responds to Marty's lawyer joke, Frasier's hand is back down on top of the menu.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Abbie arrives at Frasier's apartment, she puts her purse on the coffee table; the strap is hanging between the couch and the table. When Frasier offers to walk her to the elevator, she goes to get her purse and it has flipped over with the strap fully visible - even though no one went near it.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Other mistake: Frasier comes into Abbie's office holding his overcoat - a couple of shots later it is draped over a chair even though Frasier didn't have time to put it there and get back to where he stood throughout the scene.

Ham Radio - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: The gang is reading through the script and Roz cues Bulldog and as she does we can see Gil has his script opened up on his knee. As the shot goes to Bulldog, Gil's script is now folded over and his pencil is in his right hand. He wouldn't have had time to change position.

Burying a Grudge - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Martin are leaving Artie's hospital room, Frasier has the door about one-third open. Just before they leave, though, as Frasier says "next time he'll stay longer", the door is open much wider. Nobody opened it wider during that time. (00:08:50)

Shutout in Seattle (1) - S6-E23

Continuity mistake: Donny is sitting on Frasier's couch eating Chinese food. One of the containers, with chopsticks in it, is sitting on the table, near the center. In the next shot the chopsticks have disappeared and the container has moved towards the end of the table. (00:12:05)

Dinner Party - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: The nutcracker in the bowl next to Frasier's elbow changes position several times while they are trying to convince Marty to change the date of his poker game. (00:11:00)

Beware of Greeks - S5-E16

Continuity mistake: 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.

Semi-Decent Proposal - S8-E21

Continuity mistake: Roz and Frasier are at Cafe Nervosa and she is telling him about her dream of dancing with Bruce Springsteen. At one point, her hand is on top of her coffee mug and then she lays it on the table; the next shot shows her hand on the cup again, with no time to move it naturally.

The Life of the Party - S5-E22

Continuity mistake: At the singles party Frasier throws, Roz tells him she's in labour. She is not holding anything, but soon a small purse appears in her right hand, out of nowhere. When Vicky says "good luck" to her, the purse is nowhere to be seen.

And Frasier Makes Three - S11-E20

Continuity mistake: Frasier picks up a couple of paper bags full of stuff for a picnic he is going on with Charlotte and her boyfriend - there is a fabric string/tie hanging out of one of the bags as he heads for the door but when he gets there, it has disappeared.

To Tell the Truth - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: Niles and Frasier meet Donny for the first time in his office. Donny's secretary brings him a sandwich and he takes a bite out of it, in the center of the sandwich half. He starts saying how good it is, and offers the guys a bite - now the bitten part has moved and is on the outer edge of the sandwich.

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.
