Frasier

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: After Frasier is left alone in the apartment, we can see a glass of sherry and a can of beer on the coffee table, but neither item was on the table when he was talking to the others before they left the apartment. Roz's purse also shifted from the couch to the little glass table during the shot change. (00:21:20)

Agents in America, Part III - S2-E22

Continuity mistake: As Bebe says, "Darling, what you have is a fever" to Frasier, her hands are on the table in front of her. He says "what?" and the shot shows her elbows on the table and her hands are in the air, with no time for natural change.

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: There is a bag of chips on Marty's little table that goes from being open but almost flat to being open much wider and the bag is very rounded, from one shot to another, but no one touches it. (00:18:05)

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 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)

Roz in the Doghouse - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: As Frasier is leaving Roz's apartment, we can see her crutches behind her, leaning together and upright against the wall. In the next shot one has noticeably changed position but they go back to their original state a couple of shots later. (00:04:35)

Breaking the Ice - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: Niles has the "hot buns" pads under his right arm and his mittens in his right hand. The next shot shows he already has a mitten on his left hand even though there was not enough time for him to put it on. (00:10:25)

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: After Frasier passes the pink box with the birthday cake over to Daphne the box is closed. But when the doorbell rings the lid is about halfway open, with no time for this change. (00:04:15)

The Innkeepers - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Niles tells the chef to serve the souffle in a large bowl, there is a large bowl of food next to him with no utensil in it. When Niles says "Table Twelve is still waiting for their entree", there is suddenly a utensil sticking up in the center of the bowl.

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.

Adventures in Paradise (1) - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is first looking at the magazine article featuring Madeline, we can see the page opposite the one he's looking at. The next shot shows a different page, even though he is supposedly looking at the same one, all the time exclaiming about how great she is.

The Innkeepers - S2-E23

Continuity mistake: Frasier is holding a plate of food in the kitchen, but after Roz comes in with the exploded cherries jubilee all over her, the food on his plate has changed completely. It could not have been affected by the cherries jubilee explosion as he had his back to the door when that happened.

Dark Victory - S2-E24

Continuity mistake: Just before Frasier says "What I want is to be left alone", Roz, Niles, Marty, and Daphne are standing at the door. The shot goes to Frasier, and then back to them, and they have all changed positions, with no time to have done this naturally. (00:21:25)

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?

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.
