The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene when Martin is talking to Duke on the phone, there is nothing on the table next to his chair. As the scene progresses, a remote appears on the table, even though Marty or anyone else places it there.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Daphne are on the couch talking about the meteor shower, she has his hand on his left knee and he is covering it with both of his hands. After he says "two horrible wrongs", his right hand is suddenly on his right knee, with no time for natural switch.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: Niles and Daphne are on the couch talking about the meteor shower and Niles is holding Daphne's hand between his right hand and his left knee. In the next shot, without enough time for this to happen naturally, his right hand is on his right knee.

The Great Crane Robbery - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Roz goes into Frasier's booth and starts to put her pencil on the console - but in the next shot, as Kenny comes in, she is reaching for papers and the pencil is nowhere in sight.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Audio problem: In the opening credits Frasier is in Cafe Nervosa with Roz, who is trying to sell him gift wrap. He says, "I'm not crazy about Garfield," and then his lips keep moving even though there is no sound heard.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: The butler and Frasier are discussing the new president of the opera board and Ferguson pours Marty a cup of coffee. In the next shot, over Marty's shoulder, we see he already has the cup in his hand, although there was no time for this to happen naturally.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Frasier's soirée joking with Mr. Worth about selling him some giftwrap. Just before she says "everything but my bracelets", her drink and hat switch from her right hand to her left and her canapé from her left to her right. In the next shot they've switched back again.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: Marty is leaving for the game and Frasier's butler hands him a paper bag with a sandwich in it. Marty carries it in his left hand, but by the time he gets to the door, the bag is folded up much smaller and looks much more crinkled.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is hosting his pre-opera party and is greeting his first guests at the door, the female guest has a purse on her arm. In the shot after Frasier excuses himself from them, her arms and purse have changed positions.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are in Cafe Nervosa, Frasier is holding section of newspaper in his lap, with an inch or two showing on the table. He and Niles suddenly grab for their cellphones and the newspaper appears fully on top of the table.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Audio problem: This does not sound like a case of Frasier stuttering but it sounds like two sets of the same line over top of each other. When Niles sees Donny come into the restaurant, Abby and Frasier just turn to look and Niles exclaims "I said, don't look." - and Frasier says "you - you did not - not". It's as though they forgot to edit out some sound from two different shots.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: During the closing credits, when Niles goes to Frasier's with some licorice, Marty is lying on the couch, sick. At first his cane handle is facing the fireplace, but when the shot changes, it has moved about 45 degrees towards the window. When he gets off the couch, the handle is facing the fireplace again.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Soon after Abbie has arrived at Frasier's, Daphne says to Niles, "It's cute when you do it," and he has his hand on her shoulder. In the next shot, his hands are in his lap and she is taking a sip from her glass, with no time for a natural change.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Abbie puts Niles' burning menu in the ice bucket where it remains for the rest of the scene, next to the bottle of champagne. Sometimes the menu is right up against the bottle and sometimes it is an inch or two apart - with no one touching either item.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Abby orders Frasier out of her office and she bends down to pick up his jacket from the floor, even though it had been on the chair throughout the scene. She then throws it and his overcoat out the door after him - we see the jacket land on the floor and the overcoat on his head. She slams the door and the shot goes to Frasier - the jacket is now draping his head, rather than the overcoat.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Abbie and the gang are in the restaurant for dinner. Frasier has his elbow on the table over his menu and Abbie says, "In front of your father," and the camera angle now shows Frasier holding the menu. After Abbie responds to Marty's lawyer joke, Frasier's hand is back down on top of the menu.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Abbie arrives at Frasier's apartment, she puts her purse on the coffee table; the strap is hanging between the couch and the table. When Frasier offers to walk her to the elevator, she goes to get her purse and it has flipped over with the strap fully visible - even though no one went near it.

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?

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.
