Good Samaritan - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: Niles is in the police station talking to Frasier and as he says "What happened?" one hand is holding a coffee cup and the other is on his hip. As the shot changes, both of his hands are on the coffee cup. (00:13:20)

Good Samaritan - S6-E11

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frasier, Martin, and Niles are in the kitchen putting candles on Freddie's birthday cake, you first see the Louis Pasteur cake facing Frasier. The camera pans out and then back in. When it does, the cake has turned around. The camera pans back once more, and the cake is back to its original position.

Our Parents, Ourselves - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: At the end of the restaurant scene, where Frasier, Roz, Martin and Roz's mother are eating, Frasier puts his crumpled-up napkin on one side of his plate, but at the end of the scene it has mysteriously switched to the other side without being moved by anyone.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: When Niles goes to take off his pants he looks over at Eddie who is sitting on the right side of the armchair. The next shot shows Eddie getting out of the chair and onto the footstool - however, he is climbing out of the left side and he had no time to shift position. (00:01:55)

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: Niles gets a pair of scissors to snip off a thread on his pants. He puts them on the ironing board, but after he passes out, they are on the credenza behind the couch. Later, they are back on the ironing board. (00:03:00 - 00:04:05)

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: Niles throws a long white cloth over his shoulder and heads for the kitchen. When he reaches the kitchen the cloth is much shorter in back than it was the shot before. (00:04:40)

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: At the end of the scene Niles opens the apartment door and waves his arm; the little white cloth is thrown and lands under him as he faints and hits the floor. Eddie heads for the couch and the shot shows the white cloth on the floor in the hall outside the apartment door. (00:11:20)

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: As Cassandra asks Frasier if he's coming to bed, she lies down on her left side. The next shot shows her lying on her back, even though there was no time to change positions. (00:15:25)

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: In the last scene of this part of the show, where Frasier is trying to figure out if Cassandra is romantically interested in him - he removes his outer clothes and stands in front of her closet. We see his clothes change position several times. Sometimes they are on the back of the chair, sometimes they are on the floor. His shoes also change places. In fact, the shoes appear to move on their own at one point and are pulled tidily to one side.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: Frazier meets his date (Cassandra) in the restaurant - she places her purse down, and it constantly moves around in different positions while they talk. Sometimes it's to her right, sometimes to her left, and one it is lying on the table with her hand over it.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: In Cassandra's hotel room, Frasier gets two small bottles of brandy and manages to pour them into separate glasses while holding both bottles. Pretty hard to do. He never puts one down and grips it to open it.

Three Valentines - S6-E14

Continuity mistake: If you look closely at the couch in the first scene ("A Valentine for Niles") it is not the same couch used during the rest of the run of Frasier - it looks brand new and it doesn't quite have the same texture or look. It makes sense, as Niles sets fire to the couch at the end of the scene.

Frasier: Niles, I would shave my head for you.
Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.

Caught in the Act - S11-E15

Trivia: When Nanette tells Frasier she's tired of playing her children's show character, she asks him if he knows what it's like to play the same character for twenty years. By this point, Kelsey Grammer had been playing Frasier for twenty years: eleven on 'Frasier' and nine on '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.
