Frasier ( 1993 )

Plot hole: Niles makes up Frasier's couch to sleep in and when he lies down he lets out a yelp - and pulls a plastic pirate's hook from behind the cushions. Earlier Niles had appeared wearing a pirate's costume but at no point did he have a hook, nor did he go near the couch. His overcoat had been on the floor the whole time so it couldn't have come from there. It would have been difficult for it to get behind the cushions unless deliberately shoved there, which we never saw and makes no sense anyway.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.

David Mercier

Continuity mistake: Early in the show Niles shows up at Frasier's in his pirate outfit. He has a plastic knife in his sash which changes position noticeably several times during the scene (without Niles touching it).

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 mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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 mistake: 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 mistake: 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 mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Give Him the Chair! - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: 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. (00:16:35)

Give Him the Chair! - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: 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?

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.

Continuity mistake: When Bulldog is talking to Frasier in the booth at 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. At the end of the scene both sleeves are pulled up.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.
