The Placeholder - S11-E5

The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: Frasier puts the tuna on the coffee table for Mr. Bottomsley and the cat jumps up and starts to eat it - he is facing the couch. In the next shot we see Eddie come into the room and suddenly the cat has moved and is facing Marty's chair - without enough time for the change.

The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits of the show, Frasier and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa. Frasier has a fabric shopping bag, and in some shots you can see the leaves of one vegetable and in other shots you can see the leaves of two vegetables. These leaves are quite large and distinctively different.

Suggested correction: This has been addressed in the Questions section. Frasier is apparently choosing to deal with his allergies, in order help the cat's owner. It's also possible for allergies to be triggered by one cat, but not another. It depends on the amount of dander that the particular cat produces, and the level of Fel D. 1, a protein in their saliva.

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.

I'm Listening - S11-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier is hiding behind the kitchen counter when Ronee comes in - followed by Marty. Frasier puts his hands, one holding an apple, up on the counter. In the next shot the apple is on the counter, and his hands are draped over each other - without enough time for natural movement.

I'm Listening - S11-E6

Continuity mistake: When Martin and Frasier are in Cafe Nervosa and Marty is lecturing his son about eavesdropping, his newspaper moves a few inches, from being on his left to being right in front of him, even though he never touched it.

Murder Most Maris - S11-E8

Continuity mistake: In the 8th episode of season 11, "Murder Most Maris", Frasier claims to have been "punched in the face yesterday by a man now dead". When he says this, two nights have passed since the murder. The next day Niles panics at the café and then sleeps for 20 hours. This time Frasier claims he was punched in the face three days ago by a man now dead, when by now it has been at least four days.

Murder Most Maris - S11-E8

Continuity mistake: Niles, Frasier, Marty, and Daphne are at Niles' apartment and they have just found out Maris killed her lover. Niles' overcoat is on a chair behind the couch. He decides to go the police station, tells Daphne to stay put, and heads towards the hall on the left. In the next shot he is carrying his coat and heading out the front door with Marty - there just wasn't enough time for him to have got over to his coat and back to the door.

Murder Most Maris - S11-E8

Continuity mistake: In Cafe Nervosa, after Niles has taken off all his clothes, Frasier wraps him up in a couple of Cafe Nervosa aprons and Roz picks up Niles' clothes from the floor. In one shot, we see his tie towards the top of the pile in Roz' arms, and in another it is swinging free at the bottom of the pile. The clothes change position in her arms from shot to shot. In one shot the boxers are still on the table, with a newspaper. In a subsequent shot, Roz has the boxers. When Niles is being taken outside, the table nearest the door has only a cup on it. In the next shot, we see the newspaper on the table again.

Murder Most Maris - S11-E8

Continuity mistake: There are several bad cuts between shots when Niles and Frasier are on the balcony. Keep an eye on the height of Niles' sherry glass. The most noticeable occurrence is when Niles mentions "detachment" and the shot changes. He is suddenly holding his glass at least a foot higher in the air.

Guns N' Neuroses - S11-E9

Continuity mistake: Why can Lilith hear what they are saying through the door? In several other episodes, the characters have had arguments or insulted the person at the door without them being able to hear. Yet here suddenly it's possible for her to hear.

Guns N' Neuroses - S11-E9

Continuity mistake: After Niles knocks the shoebox on the floor, he goes to put the banana on the table, but pulls back with it still in his hand. When he runs over to inspect the fireplace, the banana is nowhere to be seen.

Guns N' Neuroses - S11-E9

Continuity mistake: Niles stumbles catching the banana and knocks the shoebox off the table and it lands on the floor. The next shot shows a long dark item lying on the carpet - it wasn't there before and didn't come off the box.

Guns N' Neuroses - S11-E9

Continuity mistake: Just after Niles knocks the box on the floor, we can plainly see it through the legs of the chair. When Marty goes to pick it up, it is now out of our range, even though the camera angle remains the same.

Guns 'N Neuroses - S11-E9

Continuity mistake: Marty picks up the head of the statue that was shot off and holds it for a couple of seconds. He then puts it down by the phone. After Daphne says, "All right, what's the plan?" we see it is in his hand again, and he puts it down again.

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.

Selling Out - S1-E9

Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem.

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.
