Frasier

Frasier's Imaginary Friend - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: When Marty does his exercises, Eddie watches from the recliner and his bottom is just about in the center of the seat, but as Daphne heads to the door, his posterior is much closer to the arm of the chair, even though he never moved.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The pin is present until Daphne removes it, but in each shot the pin is rotated without anyone touching it. In some shots, it is difficult to see because it is longways on, but it is there.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Niles and Daphne are in the elevator talking about Donny. Daphne has her hands on top of her purse with her fingers laced together. Niles puts his hand over hers but in the next shot his hand is on her wrist and she has her hand against her jacket's lapel.

Murder Most Maris - S11-E8

Continuity mistake: Niles, Frasier, Marty, and Daphne are at Niles' apartment and they have just found out Maris killed her lover. Niles' overcoat is on a chair behind the couch. He decides to go the police station, tells Daphne to stay put, and heads towards the hall on the left. In the next shot he is carrying his coat and heading out the front door with Marty - there just wasn't enough time for him to have got over to his coat and back to the door.

The Babysitter - S11-E4

Continuity mistake: Right at the start when Frasier is talking to Niles in the furniture shop, at one point he says "Don't you hear that," and holds his hand in a fist. The shot cuts instantly to Niles and you can see his hand is now about a foot higher and his palm is suddenly open.

Crock Tales - S11-E22

Other mistake: This is for the episode "Crock Tales" (the 22nd of the season). Almost all the flashback sequences are wrong in time. The one from 2003 has Niles and Daphne coming back from their honeymoon but they married in 2002. Although not ever couple take their honeymoon directly after they've married, the wedding episode "Ring Cycle" mentions them going on their honeymoon.

A Man, a Plan and a Gal: Julia - S11-E2

Continuity mistake: When Julia answers her cellphone, she bunches up her napkin in her hand, but the next shot shows the napkin lying flat on her lap again; this would be almost impossible to do in such a short time with only one hand free.

Everyone's a Critic - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: Poppy is sitting in Frasier's chair in his booth and as she says "all these buttons, how do you do it?", she slaps her hand down on the console. As he begins to answer her, the hand is back in her lap.

The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: Niles is sitting at a table in Cafe Nervosa looking at a magazine - he has a page folded back and we can a large photo on the page. When Roz comes over to use her cell, the shot goes back to Niles and now he has the mag opened at a different page. There's another change when Frasier comes over to use his cellphone. At no time did Niles actually turn a page or even have time to do so.

High Holidays - S11-E11

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are talking about Freddy, the ice cream carton on Marty's table goes from being parallel with the remote to being perpendicular - and then changes position again - no one goes near it during their conversation.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: At the very end of the show, when Frasier, Niles and Martin are on the balcony, all three have their hands and arms folded in front of them, leaning on the railing. The shot then goes to behind them, and Frasier is standing with his arms straight out, and only his hands on the railing.

The Zoo Story - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Marty bangs open the crane's cage, he is about a foot away from where he had been in the previous shot, when the crane pecked him on the rear end. To achieve the latter he had to be fairly close to the bird, but to accidentally open the cage easily by pushing at it with his cane, he had to be standing farther away, or it wouldn't have worked. He moves that distance from shot to shot and it just wouldn't have happened in real time.

Agents in America, Part III - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Frazier's talking about a possible replacement for him at KACL. As she says "you should she her nails", her arms are crossed over her chest but in the very next shot, they are down by her sides, with no time for the change.

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: After Frasier is left alone in the apartment, we can see a glass of sherry and a can of beer on the coffee table, but neither item was on the table when he was talking to the others before they left the apartment. Roz's purse also shifted from the couch to the little glass table during the shot change. (00:21:20)

Give Him the Chair! - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Roz has just received a call about Marty's missing chair and as Frasier comes into her booth, she is writing it down. As she says "I found the chair", she hands him the paper - but she goes from writing to handing it to him with no time in between. (00:16:35)

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: There's probably an obvious answer to this but is there any actual in-show significance to the 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs' song heard at the end of every episode? I ask mainly because I remembered there was one show in particular where Frasier unintentionally scars Lilith emotionally and pretty much cements the end of their relationship over a misunderstanding about scrambled eggs. Were there any similar conflicts over a tossed salad?

Answer: In the last episode, they explained that Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs is a metaphor for the mixed-up people to whom Frasier dispenses his radio psychiatric advice.
