Frasier

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.

Miss Right Now - S11-E19

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Marty are sitting in their living room talking about Frasier's problems with women. Marty has his fork poised above a plate with a slice of cake on it. The next shot shows the fork on the plate, next to the cake. Marty would not have had time to put the fork down in the split-second in between.

The Show Where Diane Comes Back - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the kitchen and gets the sugar out to sprinkle over the profiteroles. As he starts shaking we get a wider shot and we see there is sugar all over the stove top, pastries, plate, and counter - way more than there should be for the amount of shaking going on.

Frasier's Curse - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is saying goodbye to Mr. Rugly, he knocks over Mr. Rugly's coffee mug with his umbrella. The mug is tipped off the table but in the next shot Mr. Rugly grabs it - but in real time, by this point the mug would have already hit the floor.

Duke's, We Hardly Knew You - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: About two thirds of the way through the show, Marty and Frasier are talking in the living room. Marty is sitting in his chair with a glass of milk. One shot shows him with both hands on his milk, and then he puts his left hand on the arm of the chair. In the next shot his hands are around his glass of milk again.

Frasier's Curse - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: During the closing credits, Roz is sitting at in Cafe Nervosa with her little black purse on the table. While she is preparing her coffee and flirting across the room at a guy, her purse disappears from the table for the rest of the scene.

Frasier's Curse - S6-E2

Continuity mistake: Niles runs into the kitchen where he finds Frasier cleaning the oven. As Frasier stands up, one of the cuffs on his rubber gloves has been turned over, and the other hasn't. A couple of shots later they are both neatly folded over. As Frasier leaves the kitchen, they are back to the first position. At no time did he adjust them.

The Gift Horse - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: Marty and Sherry are looking at old photos to use at Marty's birthday party - we can see one in Sherry's hand that has noticeable brown marks down the back, as though it had been glued in an album. The next shot shows Marty passing this one to her, even though in the shot before it was in her hand. When Sherry passes the picture over to Niles and Frasier, in the shot when they get it, it's not the same photo, as it is clean on the back.

Murder Most Maris - S11-E8

Continuity mistake: In Cafe Nervosa, after Niles has taken off all his clothes, Frasier wraps him up in a couple of Cafe Nervosa aprons and Roz picks up Niles' clothes from the floor. In one shot, we see his tie towards the top of the pile in Roz' arms, and in another it is swinging free at the bottom of the pile. The clothes change position in her arms from shot to shot. In one shot the boxers are still on the table, with a newspaper. In a subsequent shot, Roz has the boxers. When Niles is being taken outside, the table nearest the door has only a cup on it. In the next shot, we see the newspaper on the table again.

Daphne Hates Sherry - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: Marty, Daphne, and Sherry are all shouting at each other around the dining room table - there are two chairs between Martin and Daphne but when the shot changes to Frasier coming in, now Marty and Daphne have no chairs between them.

Daphne Hates Sherry - S4-E21

Continuity mistake: While Daphne and Sherry are arguing, Marty says, "See, I'm regretting that one already", and his rolled up exercise mat, sitting on the table, rotates about 45 degrees.

Three Dates and a Breakup (2) - S4-E20

Continuity mistake: As Frasier pushes Sherry towards the balcony, we can see a gold decorative thing on her green purse. In previous shots to this, the gold piece didn't show, because the other side of her purse was facing out. At no time did she turn the purse around.

Four for the Seesaw - S4-E13

Continuity mistake: Daphne and Martin are at KACL with Roz and Frasier, talking about flu shots. Then Marty starts talking about McGinty's and suddenly there is a clipboard on the console that wasn't there before, and wasn't put there during their conversation.

Roz, a Loan - S6-E9

Continuity mistake: Martin was holding a little blue bag on Eddie's head to comfort him; when he gets up he tosses it on the coffee table, but when the shot changes it is sitting several inches away from its original spot.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: In the same scene where Bebe's hands change position from shot to shot, and Frasier is warning Roz about Bebe having no reflection, Frasier's hands on Roz's arms change as well. In some shots his hands are on her upper arms, in others they are on her lower arms.

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'.

A Day in May - S8-E23

Question: Beyond the obvious (he hasn't gotten over it or is still upset about it) is there a reason Martin didn't want to say anything at the parole hearing? And what was the point of showing this?

Answer: While he hasn't gotten over it, he also took into account what the shooter's mother said. He refused to make a statement either for or against him. He can't forgive the shooter, but he's gotten past the anger.
