Frasier

The Kid (2) - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rick leaves Roz's apartment, he has the sonogram photo in his left hand when he hugs her goodbye. When her lets her go and opens the door, the sonogram is in his right hand, even though he never switched it.

Call Me Irresponsible - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Daphne is setting up the soft ornaments along the top of the fireplace for the Christmas photo, she is just putting the first one on the mantelpiece, then the shot changes and she is positioning the second ornament.

And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon (1) - S8-E1

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in Donny's office, and Donny is holding a little wedding cake groom. He covers the groom with his hands while he's talking, but when Frasier says, "Daphne realizes you went to great expense," the little bridegroom is visible again, even though in real time it couldn't have happened.

Party, Party - S5-E23

Continuity mistake: After Roz has had the baby and has fallen asleep, the nurse comes in and watches Frasier kiss her on the forehead. Most of the time she is standing at the door with her hands behind her back, but in one shot her hands are in front of her and she is holding something white. When she flounces out after Frasier hits on her, she has nothing in her hands.

The Maris Counselor - S5-E13

Audio problem: At the end of the show, Niles picks up the bottle of booze from his father's chairside table, and we hear a thud - as though he had put it down, rather than picked it up. The same sound is repeated a short time later, when he does put the bottle down.

Perspectives on Christmas - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Daphne gives Marty a brightly coloured sweater for Christmas and after he opens it, he puts it back in the box - the yellow sleeve is hanging out. After he says "all that makeup on my face", the sweater has changed position and there is a red portion hanging out of the box. No one touched it in the meantime.

The Ski Lodge - S5-E14

Continuity mistake: Frasier is holding a bottle of bubbly during the scene when he, Niles, Daphne, Annie and Guy are in Niles's bedroom. As he walks to the door, he is holding it towards the bottom but when the shot changes he is suddenly holding it around the neck.

Motor Skills - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Frasier has a college catalogue that he takes over to the phone to call for information. Between the time he puts the catalogue next to the phone to the time he makes his call, the page changes, even though he doesn't touch it.

The Zoo Story - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: At the start of the show, Frasier is standing at the counter of Cafe Nervosa counting out bills. The next shot shows him reaching into his back pocket, without enough time for this to happen naturally.

The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: Frasier is talking to Luke in the restaurant early in the show. Luke's hand switches its position several times from shot to shot - from one hand on the table to both hands on the table and then back again.

Our Parents, Ourselves - S6-E12

Continuity mistake: At the end of the restaurant scene, where Frasier, Roz, Martin and Roz's mother are eating, Frasier puts his crumpled-up napkin on one side of his plate, but at the end of the scene it has mysteriously switched to the other side without being moved by anyone.

Frasier: Niles, I would shave my head for you.
Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.

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.
