Continuity mistake: In the conference room, Frasier says, "I just said that," and the shot shows his arms resting on the table with his hands up, gesturing.

Forgotten But Not Gone - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: Roz and Frasier are at Cafe Nervosa and she is telling him about her dream of dancing with Bruce Springsteen. At one point, her hand is on top of her coffee mug and then she lays it on the table; the next shot shows her hand on the cup again, with no time to move it naturally.
Continuity mistake: When Niles, Roz, Marty, and Daphne are in the living room confessing something shameful, Martin says, "Every time I watch 'The Sound of Music,' I cry." As the shot changes, we see that his hand goes from his arm rest to his lap and his beer can goes from being on one side of the remote to the other.
Continuity mistake: In the show from Series 7, "Big Crane on Campus", the Jean Smart character is introduced as Lorna Lenley - ex-prom queen from his high school with a volatile personality who has a brief relationship with Frasier. In Episode 21, series 8, she comes back as the same character - ex-prom queen, had a fling with Frasier, etc. - but now her name is Lana. She was billed as Lorna in the series 7 show and as Lana in the series 8 show. The names may be similar but are definitely different names.
Continuity mistake: Frasier is at the restaurant trying to stop Lana from going to talk to Kirby. She has her purse under her arm but the next shot shows her holding it by its strap.
Continuity mistake: As Kirby is showing Roz his prom pictures, she sees the picture with his hand on her behind. In the scene her hair on her right changes position in the following shots from on her chest, to slightly behind her shoulder, to completely behind her shoulder.
Continuity mistake: As Marty says "Claire says", he is holding his sandwich is both hands. As Daphne turns towards him and says "shut up", he is holding the sandwich in his left hand and his right hand is on the arm of his chair. There was no time for the switch.

Continuity mistake: Martin says that Eddie will find the cricket, and puts him down on the floor so he can begin to search. He places him right in front of the green chair. In the next shot, we see Eddie spinning around on the floor, but the chair isn't visible in the frame like it should be. Instead there's something that looks like a gray stool there.
Continuity mistake: After Martin lowers his chair and gets the bag of pretzels it cuts back to Frasier and you can see the bag still on the coffee table. Then it cuts back to Martin and he has the bag. (00:06:16)
Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Martin are yelling at each other about the mess on the carpet, Marty is holding a red plastic oil container. In one shot there is a noticeable dribble of oil on it, but in the shots before and after, it is clean.
Continuity mistake: When we first see Marty on the floor oiling his chair, his cane is lying on the floor with the handle end pointing towards the kitchen. When he picks it up a few shots later, it has turned 180 degrees and the handle is pointing towards the door. At no time did he touch it.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier comes home, just after Marty has sprayed oil on the carpet, the pattern of the spray changes considerably from one shot to the next.
Continuity mistake: Frasier is in Bebe's office and as she says, "The newest member of Team Crane," her hands are clasped together in front of her and her index fingers are pointed upward, but as the shot changes, her index fingers are folded into her hands.
Answer: It equals the record of James Arness of "Gunsmoke" for the actor who's played the same part on TV NOT in a soap opera. If you include soaps there are two main contenders - William Roache, who's been playing Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in the UK since 1960. Don Hastings has been playing Robert Hughes in US soap "As the World Turns" since 1960 as well.
