Frasier

Momma Mia - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: Marty brings a six-pack of beer to the cabin, and puts it down on the table where it stays for the scene - but during the scene one of the cans is sticking out for a few shots, then returns to normal later. No one went near the beer during that time.

A Crane's Critique - S4-E4

Continuity mistake: Martin goes out to a baseball game with a famous writer that Frasier and Niles admire. While he is out, they read one of his books he accidentally left behind. When the author returns, he ends up holding the pages of the book in his hand, whilst standing in front of the fireplace. In one shot he is holding them in his left hand, but when the view cuts to another angle, he has them in his right hand. This occurs just before he goes outside to throw the pages off the balcony. (00:20:25)

Padzter

Head Game - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: While Marty and Daphne are watching the basketball game on TV, he says "it's completely different", the remote suddenly appears on the table beside him; it wasn't there before and wasn't in his hand. A couple of shots later, when he yells "unbelievable!" it's gone again.

Guns N' Neuroses - S11-E9

Visible crew/equipment: When Daphne is yelling from the kitchen door about Marty not storing his gun properly we can see pole-shaped shadows passing over her head on the shelves behind her. These cannot be explained by the actor's movements.

The Show Where Sam Shows Up - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode after Sam mentions stewardesses he claps his hands, and his seat belt (which was caught on something) moves across his chest to the regular position. Cut to a wide shot of the car and Sam's seat belt is back to the position it was in before. (00:21:05)

Jon Sandys

Hot Ticket - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are talking about getting tickets for the play. On the table next to Marty's chair there's a newspaper that changes position noticeably during their conversation. Neither of them touched it and Martin is not in the scene.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Martin is eating at the coffee table, you see the front of the tomato sauce/ketchup bottle, then the back, then the front again. Also the spice that was on the table moves without anyone touching it.

Dad Loves Sherry, the Boys Just Whine - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: When Sherry brings in the bottle of wine, it's in a paper bag which is twisted around the bottle when she puts it on the coffee table. The next shot shows the bag has been loosened around the bottle and is quite wrinkled. No one touched it in that short time.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Frasier goes to get a newspaper out of the curbside kiosk, and catches his jacket in it. He places the newspaper to his right on top of the rack beside it and the shot changes to Regan coming out of the florist behind him. Then we see the newspaper in his left hand, without having time to have picked it up.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Continuity mistake: As Roz is introduced to Clint, there is nothing on the console where Frasier is standing. But as the scene progresses, a clipboard suddenly appears there, without human assistance.

Perspectives on Christmas - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Daphne puts a couple of Christmas bags on Marty's chair; the one facing the camera has a Santa on it and behind that are pieces of pink paper sticking up about 6 inches. The pink paper is sometimes visible, and sometimes isn't, as the scene progresses, from the same angle.

Someone to Watch Over Me - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Roz are in his booth and Roz puts her chocolate bar on the counter. While Frasier is on the radio, we sometimes see it at his left elbow and sometimes it is not, even though the angle doesn't change. (00:02:20)

Daphne's Room - S2-E17

Continuity mistake: Frasier gets caught in Daphne's Room for the second time and crouches down beside her bed with the quilt over his head. He then sneaks into the bathroom - the quilt is left hanging over the edge of the bed. Shortly afterwards he runs out of the bathroom and the quilt is now folded over, completely on top of the bed, even though no one went near it. (00:13:30)

To Tell the Truth - S6-E15

Continuity mistake: Martin is listening to Donny talk to Niles in his office. At one point Marty has his right hand up to his face but in the next shot his hands are laced together, resting on his stomach, with no time for a natural change. (00:09:30)

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."

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.
