Frasier

Moon Dance - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Martin is trying to get Eddie to shake a towel off his head while Daphne stands behind the dog, folding laundry. In one shot she is standing with the folded towel over her arm; in the next shot she is folding it again. When she goes to the door, there is something red on top of the laundry basket, but when she returns the towel is back in the laundry basket (it's not the towel Marty put on Eddie's head: that's sitting on the coffee table).

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Niles comes into Cafe Nervosa holding a newspaper and begins to talk to Frasier and Roz. As he says "mere words cannot", the shot changes and the next shot shows the newspaper has flipped over to the other side in his hand. He didn't have time to do this naturally.

The Focus Group - S3-E23

Continuity mistake: When Manu pulls down the metal front over his kiosk, Frasier has his umbrella in his right hand. By the time Manu pulls it all the way down and catches his hand under it, Frasier's umbrella has shifted to his left hand, even though he never transferred it.

The Apparent Trap - S7-E9

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Daphne comes home from shopping holding a bag of groceries with the leafy tops of vegetables facing out. Frederick goes to help her and suddenly the leafy tops are facing inwards, without Daphne having time to move the bag.

Semi-Decent Proposal - S8-E21

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.

Bad Dog - S5-E18

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, when Bulldog throws a cup of coffee in the direction of teh armed man, the cup rolls to the floor, but when the shot shows Bulldog getting up from the floor, the cup is lying on the edge of the counter.

Dinner Party - S6-E17

Continuity mistake: At the start of the show Niles is playing the piano. He turns to talk to Frasier and his hands are in his lap, but in the next shot one hand is back up on the piano keys, with no time for this to have happened naturally.

Forgotten But Not Gone - S8-E18

Continuity mistake: While Marty and Frasier are eating Fredericka's cooking, Frasier puts his knife down on his right, then switches his fork to his right hand. After he says "motion carried," the shot shows his fork back in his left hand.

Frasier Crane's Day Off - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: Martin and Frasier are having breakfast and Marty is making fun of Frasier's radio audience. In one shot Marty's arms are folding on the table in front of him over his newspaper - in the next shot one arm is stretched out over the newspaper and the other is at 45 degrees angle in front of him.

Caught in the Act - S11-E15

Continuity mistake: Daphne comes into the Cafe and asks Marty, "Where have you been?" and her purse is on her right shoulder. In the next shot her purse is in her hand, but not enough time had passed for this to happen naturally.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Frasier, Roz and Bebe are arguing, Frasier says something like "she has no reflection." When he says this you can just see Bebe's hands in the shot and they are clasped together. In the next shot they are instantly quite far apart.

David Mercier

Rdwrer - S7-E12

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Niles and Frasier are talking about Chez Henri burning down. Frazier takes a glass of sherry from Niles and in the next shot we see him take it again.

Suggested correction: This has been addressed in the Questions section. Frasier is apparently choosing to deal with his allergies, in order help the cat's owner. It's also possible for allergies to be triggered by one cat, but not another. It depends on the amount of dander that the particular cat produces, and the level of Fel D. 1, a protein in their saliva.

Liar! Liar! - S4-E10

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, we see Marty add some beer to his champagne glass until it's almost full - just then Bulldog grabs his SeaBee award from the coffee table and now Martin's glass is almost empty, even though he's had no chance to even take a drink.

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.

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: Counting his role on Cheers, Kesley Grammar has played Fraiser for twenty years. Is this the record for the longest portrayal of a character by a TV actor?

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.
