Frasier

Love Bites Dog - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Marty and Daphne are in the car going to the shoe store, she stops at a red light, as does the black car on her left. During the shots that follow, the car on the left, although always black, is a different car in different shots.

She's the Boss - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: During the show, Daphne and Martin are having breakfast while talking to Frasier. Daphne removes her blue napkin from her lap at one point,and puts it on the table; a short time later we see her remove it from her lap again.

Three Faces of Frasier - S7-E21

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Frasier, Martin, and Daphne are sitting at the table talking about getting older. At one point Martin says "when people reach our stage in life" and his left hand is holding his coffee cup. But as the camera cuts to Frasier we can see Martin's hand in the left corner of the screen, up in the air, without the cup. The next shot shows it back on the table, holding the cup again. All this happens too quickly for the changes in real time.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: During the closing credits, when Niles goes to Frasier's with some licorice, Marty is lying on the couch, sick. At first his cane handle is facing the fireplace, but when the shot changes, it has moved about 45 degrees towards the window. When he gets off the couch, the handle is facing the fireplace again.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Soon after Abbie has arrived at Frasier's, Daphne says to Niles, "It's cute when you do it," and he has his hand on her shoulder. In the next shot, his hands are in his lap and she is taking a sip from her glass, with no time for a natural change.

Boo! - S11-E16

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Niles are in the hospital waiting area, sitting on the couch. Frasier says, "We must remember," and his hands are outstretched, one on each knee. The next shot shows his hands clasped together, with no time for the change.

Head Game - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: A fan next to Niles is holding his nachos container by its side as they talk. In the shot where he gets up to leave, his hand is under the container, with no time for this to have happened naturally.

The Club - S2-E18

Continuity mistake: When Frasier's date calls and cancels, we can see his overcoat covering the back of the couch, but in the next shot, as he says "fat chance", the coat has changed position and we can see several inches of the top of the couch.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in the conference room with Roz, his binder changes from shot to shot. Sometimes there are 4 brightly coloured tabs at the top, sometimes only 2. The same shots show a change in the papers on the table too.

Match Game - S11-E18

Continuity mistake: While Niles, Daphne and Marty are watching the video of Cindy's labour, the bag of Marty's cookies change position a few times - from being in his chair to being on his little table, and back again.

I'm Listening - S11-E6

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Cafe Nervosa, sitting with Marty, pretending to be his date. In one shot her hand is covering his, in the next shot her hands are in her lap - but in the next shot, her hand is back covering Marty's.

Season 10 generally

Factual error: There are many factors concerning Niles' post-operative state which are very inaccurate. After open heart surgery it takes at least three months for the chest bone to heal, Niles would not be able to drive a car for weeks, nor would he be able to lift or twist which he does on the show. Also, he doesn't sport a scar. Your chest bone begins very high up, just below your neck, his scar should have been visible on numerous occasions.

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

Suggested correction: He has a scar in season 11 episode 8. When he's naked in the cafe. A scar just like my dads from heart surgery.

While this mistake points out many different factors, I don't think this should qualify as a valid correction. The mistake is saying in season 10 he doesn't have a visible scar when he should and the correction points to seeing a scar a third of the way into season 11.

The Great Crane Robbery - S8-E4

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Roz goes into Frasier's booth and starts to put her pencil on the console - but in the next shot, as Kenny comes in, she is reaching for papers and the pencil is nowhere in sight.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: When Daphne and Niles are on the roof having their picnic, the basket behind them is opened from the center and on the inside on the left are two champagne glasses. A couple of shots later and the glasses are now on the right side, even though no one touched the basket.

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.
