Frasier

Guns 'N Neuroses - S11-E9

Continuity mistake: Marty picks up the head of the statue that was shot off and holds it for a couple of seconds. He then puts it down by the phone. After Daphne says, "All right, what's the plan?" we see it is in his hand again, and he puts it down again.

Agents in America, Part III - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: As Bebe says, "Darling, what you have is a fever" to Frasier, her hands are on the table in front of her. He says "what?" and the shot shows her elbows on the table and her hands are in the air, with no time for natural change.

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: There is a bag of chips on Marty's little table that goes from being open but almost flat to being open much wider and the bag is very rounded, from one shot to another, but no one touches it. (00:18:05)

IQ - S6-E19

Continuity mistake: As Frasier and Niles listen to the auction results, we can see a pen on the table behind them. The next shot shows no sign of the pen. The subsequent shot shows two pens there.

Frasier Loves Roz - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: When Roz and Daphne are in the kitchen, the tea cup turns about 45 degrees so we see much more of the flower pattern from the same camera angle. Neither of them touched it.

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Roz is showing Frasier some faxes in his booth at KACL - as she holds them they are folded over. As she says "are you nuts?", the papers are flat in her hand, no longer folded over, with no time for her to have changed them.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Poppy meets Niles at Cafe Nervosa. She has a black purse which she places on the table in front of her. During the scene, the purse is sometimes on the table and sometimes isn't, even though Poppy never removes it.

Voyage of the Damned - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: While Frasier, Roz, and Marty are at the table on the ship, Frasier is trying to write his speech. His pen switches from being in his hand to being on the table, several times, from shot to shot.

Dinner Party - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: Late in the show, Frasier throws his notebook on the coffee table and it lies flat near the books. A couple of shots later, it is on top of one of the books, with pages flipped back. No one went near it in the meantime.

Hot Pursuit - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: When Kenny comes to Roz's hotel room, Frasier answers the door and his pyjama collar is tucked in under his robe. A couple of shots later it is outside his robe, though he never touched it, and in later shots it is back neatly under his robe.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier, Regan, Niles, and Poppy are at the ball - Frasier asks Regan to dance and she leaves her purse on the table, where we can see the strap hanging down over the edge. A couple of shots later, as they dance by, we can see the purse has changed position and the strap is lying on the table.

Miss Right Now - S11-E19

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Ronee and Frasier are talking at his table about her mother. Frasier asks, "She doesn't approve of premarital sex?" and his arm is folded in front of him. In the next shot, his elbow is on the table and his hand up in the air. Later on in the scene, Ronee's mother shows up at the door and we see Marty lunge to the right to grab his cane. A couple of seconds later the shot goes back to him and we see him lunge to the right for his cane again.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Across the show, Marty is supposed to be about 21 years older than Frasier (he turns 65 in season 5). There are at least two problems with his age - Frasier is supposed to have been born in March 1952 and in Season 5 (Roz and the Schnoz) Marty mentions going on shore leave as a single guy in 1952. Even if he was confused about the year, Frasier didn't call him on it. He must have done just a short stint in Korea as he was already a cop when he met Frasier's mother - they met at a murder scene, and he must have been 20 years old at the most. She was already a full fledged psychiatrist.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Frasier's to tape some CDs, and we see her take some cassettes out of her purse. The shot goes to Frasier and then back to her - the cassettes have disappeared. After he explains that he can't stay, we see Roz open her purse and take out the cassettes again.

A Word to the Wiseguy - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: Frasier is on the phone at KACL with Jerome's girlfriend and the reflection in the glass shows him raising his hand to his face, but the next shot returns to him - his hand is on the console. There was no time for him to have shifted positions normally.

Three Faces of Frasier - S7-E21

Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the show, Marty and Frasier are sitting in the living room talking. Eddie is curled up right next to Frasier on the couch. There are a number of shots focused on Frasier and Eddie and on the bottom of the screen one can see something flick by a couple of times - and in one shot there is definitely a couple of inches of a grey metal pole of some sort, about the thickness of a broom handle.

Police Story - S3-E20

Continuity mistake: Fairly early in the show Frasier has his dad call the police station to ask about a female officer Frasier is interested in. Marty asks for her name, hangs up, and gives Frasier a lot of information about Maureen that he couldn't have possibly learned in that short a time.

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.
