The Babysitter - S11-E4

Continuity mistake: After calling Martin the "Sultan of Brunei," Frasier grabs his wine glass with one hand on the top and walks out of the kitchen. In the next shot when he is coming out he is holding it by the neck and there was no time for him to change his grip.

Boo! - S11-E16

Continuity mistake: At the very start of the show, Frasier is pretending to conduct an orchestra with a wooden spoon. Marty says "Boo," and we see the spoon in his right hand. Then Ronee says, "He does scream like a woman," and suddenly the spoon changes to his left hand and is turned the other way. Frasier had no time to change it.

Frasier-Lite - S11-E12

Continuity mistake: When the KCAL team goes for their final weigh-in, Roz grabs some scissors and one of her co-workers cuts her hair - but he cuts it quite low towards the bottom of her ponytail - when she holds up the cut portion, she only has a few inches left to her ponytail.

And Frasier Makes Three - S11-E20

Continuity mistake: Frasier picks up a couple of paper bags full of stuff for a picnic he is going on with Charlotte and her boyfriend - there is a fabric string/tie hanging out of one of the bags as he heads for the door but when he gets there, it has disappeared.

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.

And Frasier Makes Three - S11-E20

Audio problem: There are two audio problems in this episode, both in the same scene. Frasier is in his apt. talking to Niles, Daphne, and Martin. After Marty says, "Wow, really?", we hear a couple of garbled words while Niles' lips move. Then as Frasier heads to the door, Daphne asks, "How'd he hurt himself anyway?" While she is saying this, we can hear a phone ringing faintly. It is not coming from on stage, no one moves to answer a phone, and it has no part of the plot.

No Sex Please, We're Skittish - S11-E1

Continuity mistake: Roz and Frasier are in his apt. after Julia has left. The small pillow on the far left of the couch is quite smooshed down and almost flat, but when Roz walks over toward the center of the couch, the pillow is much fuller and fluffed out. In the next shot we see Frasier sit down on this pillow; when he stands it looks like it did a few shots before - very flat and smooshed.

The Ann Who Came to Dinner - S11-E13

Continuity mistake: Ann thinks Frasier is taking her to Alaska he hangs his head down in embarrassment. She says "you've got a thing for me" and he smiles and raises his head up. In the next shot he is still standing there with his head hanging down.

Match Game - S11-E18

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Roz are in the Cafe talking about the dating service - Roz is holding her mug by its side in her right hand - it switches from her holding it by the side to holding it by the handle and from one hand to the other several times during the scene.

The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: After Frasier gets his fake phone call at dinner, he puts his napkin down, covering his plate and stands up. When the waiter goes by and Frasier asks for the check, the napkin is suddenly next to the plate and we can see the food left on it.

The Ann Who Came to Dinner - S11-E13

Continuity mistake: While Ann is talking to Frasier near the door of his apartment, his coat is over the arm of the couch. After Frasier closes the door after Caroline's brief visit, the coat is over the back of the couch, even though no one went near it during that time.

Freudian Sleep - S11-E14

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Martin are in the kitchen and Marty gets some chips out of the cupboard next to the fridge. As he leans down to pet Eddie we can see a bag of blue chips still in the cupboard - but when he straightens up to talk to Frasier, we see a red bag in the cupboard, not the blue one (the camera angle remains the same).

Frasier: Niles, I would shave my head for you.
Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.

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.
