Frasier

Dr. Nora - S6-E20

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, Dr. Nora's mother is chasing Nora through the corridors of KACL, behind the windows of Frasier and Roz's booth. We can see them go by, from window to window. The shot then cuts to Frasier, looking horrified, and we see Nora's mother run by a couple of windows again - even though this could not possibly have happened in real time.

When a Man Loves Two Women - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: Niles is trying to convince Frasier to play squash - he has his hands on the back of Frasier's chair. Cassandra comes out of the kitchen and we see one of Niles' hands on Frasier's shoulder. In the next shot, both hands are back on the chair, even though there was no time for this to happen naturally. (00:02:35)

When a Man Loves Two Women - S6-E21

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in his apartment talking to Niles, Marty, and Daphne about choosing between Cassandra and Fay, the milk on the breakfast table changes position several times - from behind the coffee pot and near Daphne to the other side of the coffee pot in front of Martin.

Shutout in Seattle (1) - S6-E23

Continuity mistake: Donny is sitting on Frasier's couch eating Chinese food. One of the containers, with chopsticks in it, is sitting on the table, near the center. In the next shot the chopsticks have disappeared and the container has moved towards the end of the table. (00:12:05)

Shutout in Seattle (1) - S6-E23

Continuity mistake: Frasier is off to find Niles and he tells Martin to come with him. Marty puts his chair down as he says "I don't want to go to Niles'" - the shot changes and we see him lower the chair again. His coat in his lap also changes position between these two shots. (00:17:40)

Shutout in Seattle (1) - S6-E23

Continuity mistake: Early in the show Frasier finds Daphne's engagement ring which she had misplaced. He is holding it - on the table we can see a chip bag that Daphne had used to hide her ringless hand. During the course of the scene, the chip bag appears and disappears several times.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: Faye is walking into Cafe Nervosa and Kit the waitress is at Noel's table just behind Marty and Frasier. As Faye says "Hi Martin" we can no longer see Kit even though there was no time for her to move out of the shot.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: At the end of the show. Roz is sitting at a table with Bulldog. She picks up the stuffed dog he gave her and chases him to the door, leaving her purse behind. She then goes to the back, probably the Lady's Room. When she returns, she brings her purse with her, even though she left it on the table.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Kit are at Frasier's apartment, Kit does a quick dance with her arms out and tells them Niles is taking her to Euro Disney. A couple of shots later her little purse is back under her arm, even though she had no time to pick it up from the bookcase.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: After Bulldog loses his job he goes to Roz for a hug. He puts his right arm around her upper arms but the next shot shows his arm around her shoulder, with no time to have shifted naturally.

Shutout in Seattle (2) - S6-E24

Continuity mistake: Niles is trying to break up with Kit the waitress; they are in Cafe Nervosa and she is holding a tray. Sometimes the tray has a blue and white checked dishcloth on it, but in some shots it is not there.

Enemy at the Gate - S10-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Frasier is standing through his sunroof to speak with the drivers stuck behind him in the parking garage, one shot shows Frasier's body and much of the rear window which features a very clear reflection of the boom mic.

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.

Trivia: The producers were careful not to put stools in Cafe Nervosa, in order to distance it visually from the eponymous bar in "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.
