Trivia

Frasier was not originally meant to have a brother. But the show's creators saw David Hyde Pierce and realised he looked remarkably like a younger Kelsey Grammer. So the character of Niles was created especially for him. See more...

A Midwinter Night's Dream (season 1, episode 17)

Continuity: In the opening scene when Daphne and Eric are talking, the dish towel over Eric's shoulder is laid flat in some shots, and is twisted up in others.

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.

Continuity: The time on Niles' musical clock changes time suddenly and frequently between shots, once from 9.00 to 10.55 to 11.25 almost instantly.

Continuity: At the beginning of the show, Niles, Frasier and Daphne are at Cafe Nervosa. Daphne is standing up talking to Eric the server and Niles gets agitated, and spills sugar everywhere. Eric throws down a dish towel so they can clean it up. The dish towel appears and disappears several times during the scene.

And the Whimper is... (season 1, episode 18)

Continuity: At the awards ceremony Frasier is being introduced to his rival Fletcher's mother. At one point Fletcher is holding his mother's hand but in the next shot their hands are nowhere near each other.

Continuity: When Roz and Frasier are sitting on the couch discussing how the other award nominees are courting the judges, the amount of champagne in Frasier's glass goes down dramatically without him drinking any.

Continuity: Early in the show, Frasier is sitting in Cafe Nervosa with Niles and Bebe, drumming on the table with the fingers of his left hand. In the next shot his hand is pulled in, lying on the table in front of him.

Continuity: Just after Roz puts Bebe's bag on the table at the Cafe, we see her back at the counter - there was not enough time for this to happen naturally.

Continuity: Early in the show, at Cafe Nervosa, Roz comes in and Bebe asks her to get her some coffee. Roz returns with a paper bag which she puts down on Bebe's right. In the next shot Bebe stands up with it in her left hand, but there was not enough time for it to change from the right to the left naturally.

Give Him the Chair! (season 1, episode 19)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: 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.

Edit Time

⇓

Continuity: Early in the episode Martin puts a piece of tape on the seat of his chair, before Frasier accidentally gets it thrown out. However later on when Frasier gets the chair back (and in later episodes) that piece of tape is missing. It's possible it was ripped off of course, but wouldn't Martin have replaced it again if there was a hole in the chair?

Fortysomething (season 1, episode 20)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the scene where Frasier and Niles are talking in Cafe Nervosa, the position of Niles hands and arms change a couple of times. At one point, while Frasier talks about the young woman he has met, Niles folds his arms in front of him but in the next shot to Frasier, we can see Niles fingers laced together - and then the shot returns to Niles with folded arms. They stay this way until another shot where he says "You were in a mall?" and his hands are suddenly on the table and one is lying over the other.

Continuity: When Bulldog is talking to Frasier in the booth a KACL, in one shot his left sleeve is pushed up his arm and his right sleeve is down to his wrist. In the next shot it's just the opposite - his right is pushed up and the left is down.

⇓

Continuity: When Frasier and Niles are in Cafe Nervosa, just as they are talking about Stanley Barrister, Frasier lays his hand on his knee, but in the next shot it is up on the table.

⇓

Continuity: Niles is leaving Frasier's with Daphne and as he says "it was a warm and friendly place", his raincoat strap goes from sticking out from his shoulder to lying flat on his chest.

Travels with Martin (season 1, episode 21)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: Once the gang have arrived in Canada, Daphne is scared stiff of getting caught outside the USA. Marty explains they will just "smuggle" her back and Frasier and Niles are outraged at such deception. But to get into Canada, all of them would have had to declare their residence, birthplace, and reason for coming in. To get Daphne in in the first place, they must have lied. She would have had to show her passport as an alien. The Americans would have been allowed in without their passports, per diplomatic agreements. So the outrage of the boys makes no sense. As well, the woman in the giftshop sounds decidedly American to me (I'm a Canadian)- but perhaps she was one of those "guest workers". Also she asks for Canadian dollars - if this was a spontaneous visit, would they normally have Canadian cash on them? They lay something on the counter when they leave, but never receive the photo.

Continuity: While Frasier is driving, Marty has the map on his lap. During this scene the map changes appearance and size from shot to shot even though Marty never opens it up.

Author, Author (season 1, episode 22)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: As Frasier and Niles are starting work on their book, Marty gets four snacks and a beer and sits down in his chair. He gets up and we see the two bags that were behind the beer and can of something are now in front of them. Marty never touched them during that time.

Frasier Crane's Day Off (season 1, episode 23)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Martin and Frasier are having breakfast and Marty is making fun of Frasier's radio audience. In one shot Marty's arms are folding on the table in front of him over his newspaper - in the next shot one arm is stretched out over the newspaper and the other is at 45 degrees angle in front of him.
