Slow Tango in South Seattle - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Frasier is complaining that he is not mentioned in the acknowledgments of the novel, he picks up the book and then slams it down on the desk. It sits face up, near the front of the desk. In the next shot of the desk, we see that the book is face down and has moved back.

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Arleen the cab driver is in labour. She pushes her hair back with her hand in one shot, but in the next it is back on the steering wheel, without enough time for this to happen in real time. (00:05:50)

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Daphne are forging signatures on the get well card. In one shot they both have their pens quite a distance from the card but in the next shot they are both writing, without enough time for the change. (00:16:35)

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Niles is holding baby Nathan in the hospital and Arleen takes him back because he's crying - suddenly the blanket is up around his head even though it was hanging loose before. (00:21:45)

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Daphne are copying the names into the new get well card, we see Daphne using a pen with an orange lid. She puts the lid on the pen and sets it down. In the very next shot she is writing with the same pen.

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Roz takes a large get well card into Frasier's booth - she has some papers as well, which are on top of the card. She lowers the card and the next shot shows the papers are under the card, with no time for changes in position.

Flour Child - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: Daphne asks Frasier about his son's birth and he says that he held Frederick for the first time while Lilith was screaming at him that he would never be allowed to touch her again. But in Cheers, in the episode "The Stork Brings A Crane", we learn that A) Frasier was not present when Frederick was born and B) When he finally got to see his son for the first time, Lilith was not angry with him.

Duke's, We Hardly Knew You - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the show, when Niles, Frasier, and Martin are at Duke's, Niles says, "I'm not here just for you, Dad" and he puts his hand on Marty's shoulder. The next shot shows him standing about two feet away, with his hands by his side. (00:21:20)

Duke's, We Hardly Knew You - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: About two thirds of the way through the show, Marty and Frasier are talking in the living room. Marty is sitting in his chair with a glass of milk. One shot shows him with both hands on his milk, and then he puts his left hand on the arm of the chair. In the next shot his hands are around his glass of milk again.

The Botched Language of Cranes - S2-E6

Plot hole: Several times throughout the show, it's bought up that there is a seven second delay on Frasier's show at KACL, which, among other things, would allow Roz to "dump" the last seven seconds of what's been said and prevent it from being broadcast. When Roz notices that Frasier is still on the air during his rant, it takes her about nine seconds to get back to her console, so she should have been able dump the last seven seconds of his rant, leaving only the first few words of Frasier's rant (likely no more than "Good Grief, have you...") going to air, which would be much less awkward compared to his entire rant. (00:09:20 - 00:09:50)

Douglasac

The Candidate - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: The waitress brings Frasier his coffee just as Niles begins to say "Anyway," and she is back behind the counter as he finishes the word. There just wouldn't be enough time in real life to do this. (00:03:55)

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: 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.
