Frasier

Dinner Party - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: At the start of the show Niles is playing the piano. He turns to talk to Frasier and his hands are in his lap, but in the next shot one hand is back up on the piano keys, with no time for this to have happened naturally.

Show generally

Revealing mistake: The elevator doors in Frasier's building are just a wood looking board with no safety edge sensors on the doors. These are required to detect an object between the doors. Yet, when a character touches the edge of the doors, they open back up.

Forgotten But Not Gone - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: While Marty and Frasier are eating Fredericka's cooking, Frasier puts his knife down on his right, then switches his fork to his right hand. After he says "motion carried," the shot shows his fork back in his left hand.

Frasier Crane's Day Off - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: 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.

Caught in the Act - S11-E15

Continuity mistake: Daphne comes into the Cafe and asks Marty, "Where have you been?" and her purse is on her right shoulder. In the next shot her purse is in her hand, but not enough time had passed for this to happen naturally.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Frasier, Roz and Bebe are arguing, Frasier says something like "she has no reflection." When he says this you can just see Bebe's hands in the shot and they are clasped together. In the next shot they are instantly quite far apart.

Rdwrer - S7-E12

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Niles and Frasier are talking about Chez Henri burning down. Frazier takes a glass of sherry from Niles and in the next shot we see him take it again.

Suggested correction: This has been addressed in the Questions section. Frasier is apparently choosing to deal with his allergies, in order help the cat's owner. It's also possible for allergies to be triggered by one cat, but not another. It depends on the amount of dander that the particular cat produces, and the level of Fel D. 1, a protein in their saliva.

Liar! Liar! - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, we see Marty add some beer to his champagne glass until it's almost full - just then Bulldog grabs his SeaBee award from the coffee table and now Martin's glass is almost empty, even though he's had no chance to even take a drink.

Mary Christmas - S8-E8

Continuity mistake: Kelly comes over to Frasier's to read a mock script for the Xmas parade Frasier wants to co-host. She puts her purse next to her on the couch but never opens it. Suddenly reading glasses appear next to the purse, which Kelly subsequently puts on to read.

Give Him the Chair! - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: In the episode "Call Me Irresponsible" from season 1, Frasier and Catherine are making out on Martin's old chair, which starts vibrating (probably because they inadvertently hit a switch on the side). But in "Give Him the Chair", Frasier tries to replace Martin's old chair by buying a new one which has a built-in massager. When Martin tries it, he looks horrified and says "That's disgusting", even though his beloved chair had the same feature.

Daphne Returns - S8-E19

Plot hole: When Frasier is trying to get to the bottom of Niles' problem viewing Daphne in a real way, we see them both against past scenes in the show; Frasier watches and comments on some of them as he talks but because he is actually only discussing these events with Niles, he shouldn't be able to see a visual of anything such as the dress Daphne is wearing during the dance scene.

Miss Right Now - S11-E19

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Frasier are in the cafe discussing how many patients have fallen in love with them, Frasier claims 13. But in the episode "The Maris Counsellor," he states no patient has ever fallen in love with him. OK, time has passed, but he's done hardly any private practice since then, and any he did do was shown anyway.

Selling Out - S1-E9

Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.

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.
