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

Continuity mistake: While Marty and Frasier are fighting Marty smashes some plates. The shot changes to the living room with Frasier apologizing and then switches back again. However, now all the smashed crockery has disappeared to be replaced by what looks to be a bowl and a tumbler.

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.

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

Continuity mistake: Niles and Frasier have drugged the rottweilers with some of Maris' pills and Frasier points towards the french doors and says, "The dogs are getting drowsy." We see the dogs dropping to the ground. The next shot of the doors, a couple of seconds later, shows no sign of the dogs, although they were visible from that angle just before that.

Continuity mistake: While Frasier and Marty are in the kitchen arguing about Sherry, his can of beer moves from the right side of the counter quite a distance over to the left of the dishes he broke. The sugar bowl and jam pot also change positions during the same shots.

Continuity mistake: When Marty is explaining why he broke up with Sherry, we can see his blue jacket hanging up on the book by the fireplace - as he says "I said it back", the coat is no longer there. It does reappear in later shots.

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

Continuity mistake: Frasier's third date, Leslie, shows up at his apartment wearing a long off-white coat. He hangs it up beside the fireplace; for the rest of the scene we sometimes see the coat hanging with the left sleeve straight and sometimes with the left sleeve all crinkled up.

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.

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.
