Frasier

The Late Dr. Crane - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: When Frazier comes into his booth to begin his show, Roz is reading a book. She says "Happy Birthday" to him and we can still see the book in front of her; but in the next shot it is lying on the console next to her, without any time for her to have put it there.

The Fight Before Christmas - S7-E11

Continuity mistake: Mel and Frasier are talking at the KACL Christmas party - she says "did you two have a good time last night?" and her hands are down in front of her - in the next shot her hand is up at her neck, with no time to have done this naturally.

Rdwrer - S7-E12

Out With Dad - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: At Frasier's apartment, Emily asks him if Marty is dating anyone. During the conversation Frasier's hands are in his pockets, and then in front of him, and then back in his pockets, from shot to shot.

Out With Dad - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: Marty is on the couch talking to Edward about how he came out, and in several shots his hands are laced together on his stomach. In the succeeding shots, with no time to change, his arms are folded up on his chest.

Out With Dad - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: In the beginning scene, Niles and Frasier are arguing by the door. Right after Niles leaves and Frasier yells "Get out! ", the camera pans out and you can see the entire room, at which point Roz is holding her wine glass in her right hand. Immediately after, the camera cuts to Roz who says, "yeah, some nerve..., " and the glass is now on the table in front of her left hand. There wasn't time for her to set it down (especially across her body), and the camera stays focused on her continuously through both shots.

Something About Dr. Mary - S7-E16

Continuity mistake: Niles is showing Marty how he can kick box and he accidentally kicks Daphne. The tray she is covering flies up in the air, and the snack food ends up on the footstool and the floor. There is also an empty basket in front of the footstool. Niles goes to the kitchen to get ice for her wrist; when he returns most of the snack food and the basket have disappeared.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: When the gang are at Frasier's apartment for a brunch to get to know Mel, Roz is having a Bloody Mary. In one shot she lifts her glass right to her lips, but in the next shot she is lifting it up to her lips again.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: During the scene in Frasier's apartment when he's holding a brunch for Mel, Daphne says "it was implied" and suddenly the pitcher of Bloody Marys in front of her has much more in it that it had in the shot before.

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Martin and Claire are sitting in Cafe Nervosa, talking.

Hot Pursuit - S7-E18

Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Roz leaves yellow papers neatly on Frasier's coffee table and leaves. In later shots, while the others are talking, we see the papers become scattered - even though no one goes near them.

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?

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.
