The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: After Frasier gets his fake phone call at dinner, he puts his napkin down, covering his plate and stands up. When the waiter goes by and Frasier asks for the check, the napkin is suddenly next to the plate and we can see the food left on it.

The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: Frasier puts the tuna on the coffee table for Mr. Bottomsley and the cat jumps up and starts to eat it - he is facing the couch. In the next shot we see Eddie come into the room and suddenly the cat has moved and is facing Marty's chair - without enough time for the change.

The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits of the show, Frasier and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa. Frasier has a fabric shopping bag, and in some shots you can see the leaves of one vegetable and in other shots you can see the leaves of two vegetables. These leaves are quite large and distinctively different.

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.

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?

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.
