Frasier

Analyzed Kiss - S10-E23

Deliberate mistake: The computer Felicity Huffman pushes off the desk is a dummy model and is not connected to anything. When she first pushes the computer off, the monitor only has a power cable visible. These computers were connected via VGA cable that was screwed on; it is quite difficult to disconnect it from the computer. And also when the monitor hits the ground, you hear light sounds of glass breaking and you can see as the monitor rolls that the glass is missing, yet none is to be seen - it's a hollow chassis. Obviously done as the stuff was shoved off in Kelsey's direction so as to avoid injury.

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: Sharon and Bulldog are arguing about golf at Cafe Nervosa, and she has her arm outstretched on the table. As Bulldog says, "If we leave right now", her hands are folded together on the table, without enough time for the change.

Dial M For Martin - S6-E3

Continuity mistake: Frasier comes home to his apartment with a bottle of wine in a paper bag. He takes the bottle out and puts it on the table holding the bag in the other hand, but in the next shot we see the bag is already on the table and he is just placing the bottle down.

Good Grief - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: At the picnic, Bulldog puts his hand on the shoulder of a little girl in a dark pink dress, just before the pinata bashing starts; the next shot shows the same little girl is standing on the other side of the pinata, next to a woman in a blue and white striped top.

Everyone's a Critic - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: When Poppy is just about to start her show and is being emotional with everyone, Roz is standing at the door with a corded phone to her ear throughout the scene. She yells "Ten seconds." and the shot shows the phone, cord and all, has completely disappeared.

Good Grief - S6-E1

Continuity mistake: Marty and Niles are getting off the elevator and Marty transfers his mail into his left hand just as he goes to open the door to Frasier's apartment. When the shot changes to show them coming into the apartment, the mail is in Marty's right hand - there is no way he could have transferred the mail again in such a short time.

Mother Load (2) - S9-E13

Factual error: Simon, having just been kicked out of Frasier's apartment, is trying to convince Roz to let him stay at hers. In the background the set shows a wharf area with at least one tall ship, Alito's Restaurant, Pier 45 Shed A, and Fisherman's Grotto. These are all located at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, not Seattle.

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Other mistake: When the power outage occurs, Daphne claims she can't cook the steaks, however, the cook top in the kitchen is gas. They have matches as shown by them lighting the hurricane lamps.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: In episode 6:02, Frasier's Curse, Niles finds Frasier's head in the stove and is worried. Frasier responses "I was cleaning it, Niles. It's electric" The matches seen in episode 2:24 were more likely used for candles (like for Frasier's bath), not the oven, because it's electric.

The range is gas burning. You can see the grates and burners indicative of a gas cook-top. The comment regarding the matches wasn't used as proof the range is gas, but merely to point out they had the ability to light the gas cook-top (to avoid someone correcting the mistake by saying maybe they had no matches). The mistake is valid. In s06e02, the cook-top is still gas and one may want to submit a character mistake for that episode because Frasier says it's electric when we see it's gas. However, if one submits the mistake, be prepared for someone to correct the mistake by pointing out that dual fuel ranges exist, so the oven could be electric and cook-top gas, Frasier has an electric oven and gas stove, or Frasier was simply lying.

Ask Me No Questions - S4-E23

Continuity mistake: In this scene, Martin and Daphne are arguing about Martin buying the gift basket for Daphne because Daphne knitted the sweater for Martin. Daphne says the basket cost too much, so Martin begins to take items from the basket and put them on the table. Then as the argument progresses Martin and Daphne decide to take back their gifts. Martin places the gift basket on his chair (the two items that were taken from the basket are still on the table) and Daphne takes the sweater. A minute later they make up and agree to re-exchange the gifts. Daphne gives Martin his sweater and when Martin reaches for the basket, all items are there, including the ones that were still sitting on the table when he put the basket on the chair.

The Perfect Guy - S5-E17

Other mistake: Frasier seems jealous in this episode that Dr Webber went to Oxford, he even says, "Oh well, even better," in comparison to his own Harvard. However, in several other episodes we are told that Frasier got degrees from both Harvard and Oxford so why the jealously? Similarly in other episodes, he never mentions Oxford, only Harvard as where he went to University.

David Mercier

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Frasier's new friend Bob pulls away from the table in Cafe Nervosa - his plaid hat is still on the chair next to him. In the next shot the hat is suddenly in Bob's lap, even though he couldn't possibly have put it there in that time.

Motor Skills - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Martin is sitting on the coffee table hugging the puppy who is nuzzling his face. He says "No" to Roz and in the next shot the puppy is no longer near his face.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Audio problem: This does not sound like a case of Frasier stuttering but it sounds like two sets of the same line over top of each other. When Niles sees Donny come into the restaurant, Abby and Frasier just turn to look and Niles exclaims "I said, don't look." - and Frasier says "you - you did not - not". It's as though they forgot to edit out some sound from two different shots.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: When the gang are at Frasier's apartment for a brunch to get to know Mel, Roz is having a Bloody Mary. In one shot she lifts her glass right to her lips, but in the next shot she is lifting it up to her lips again.

The Ann Who Came to Dinner - S11-E13

Continuity mistake: In the doctors office, the doctor wheels Ann out and leaves the X-Ray he just put up of her leg. Later in the scene after Martin and Frasier have their conversation, Ann comes back into the room on crutches. When she does, the X-ray that was on the board has disappeared and never returns through the rest of the scene.

Lummie

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Bulldog is on the phonein the hall at KACL and he throws a tennis ball at Frasier, who stumbles around trying to catch it. During the scene we see an extra behind Bulldog go into one of the rooms - but we see her do it again just a split second later - and the second time she has a paper under her arm, where she had nothing the first time.

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?

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.
