Frasier

The Good Son - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the first episode of Frasier there is a painting of some vases in Frasier's apartment which is at the end of the hall leading on to Daphne's Room. In this episode the painting has a red and purple background, however in 'Here's Looking at You' (S1, 2 mins 52 secs) the exact same painting is now red and blue. It remains this new colour for the entire 11 seasons. (00:06:50)

The Good Son - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, when Roz is telling Frasier the mistakes he's made, the clock shows 4:52. However, after she says "you kept referring to Jerry.as Jeff", the clock is reading 4:50.

The Good Son - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, when Roz is telling Frasier about Lupe Velez, the wall clock in her booth shows the time to be 3:45. About 5 minutes pass, although the story only takes a couple of minutes, and there is no other action in the scene. The clock actually goes backward after that, showing 3:50 and then about 3:48 in the next shot.

Space Quest - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Frasier (and later the others) come back to his apartment to avoid the rain - they shake off umbrellas, and we even hear the storm at the very start of the scene. However there's no rain on the balcony - can't be covered, as we see in "Call Me Irresponsible" during the obligatory sex scene that when it's raining the balcony gets soaked.

Dinner at Eight - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Niles meets Daphne for the first time she is folding laundry and is holding a tee shirt that switches back and forth from being over her arm to being held in her fingers while they talk.

I Hate Frasier Crane - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Frasier is playing the piano and Martin is going through papers on the table. When Marty says "I don't know, Eddie, must you?" there is something pink lying on the table. The shot goes back to Eddie and then back to the table, but the pink item has disappeared.

I Hate Frasier Crane - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: While Martin is saying grace, Eddie is sitting right on his backside staring at Frasier, who yells "will you stop staring!" The next shot, from behind Eddie, shows him noticeably leaning over on one haunch, even though there was no time for the change.

I Hate Frasier Crane - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Before they begin supper, Marty asks the boys if they still say a prayer before eating. His hands are clasped together in front of him, but in the next shot they are folded over each other.

I Hate Frasier Crane - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: While Daphne is making psychic predictions about Marty's murder case, there is a pencil lying under some photos. In one shot the pencil has disappeared but it reappears again in later shots. The angle stayed the same.

I Hate Frasier Crane - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: At the radio station, Roz waves her pencil at Frasier through the glass to wrap up his show; she has a KACL mug in her other hand. The next shot shows her actually leaning over to pick up the mug, without enough time for her to have put it down in the first place.

Call Me Irresponsible - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: As Catherine is about to leave Frasier's apartment near the end of the episode, you can see the white shirt she is wearing constantly changes between shots. At times it is hanging out very loosely and in other shots it is neatly tucked in and positioned to the right.

Lummie

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.

Beloved Infidel - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Near the start of the show, Roz is in her booth at KACL and takes out her lipstick and compact - we see her uncap the lipstick. Then Niles comes in an Frasier reintroduces them, and we see her uncap the lipstick again.

Beloved Infidel - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Frasier is at the dining room table with Niles looking at Niles's childhood journal. He has his left hand ready to turn a page but in the next shot his hand is on the table, with no time for a natural shift.

Selling Out - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Frasier meets Bebe for the first time in the hall at KACL. She has her business card in her hand for part of the scene but after Frasier tells her he has a son, the card disappears - with no time for Bebe to have put it back in her purse.

Enemy at the Gate - S10-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Frasier is standing through his sunroof to speak with the drivers stuck behind him in the parking garage, one shot shows Frasier's body and much of the rear window which features a very clear reflection of the boom mic.

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.
