Frasier

Look Before You Leap - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: As Frasier is saying "too often we shrink from doing things we really want to do", the shot goes to Roz, and we can see the reflection in the glass shows that Frasier's mouth and hand movements do not match what he is saying.

The Show Where Diane Comes Back - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the kitchen and gets the sugar out to sprinkle over the profiteroles. As he starts shaking we get a wider shot and we see there is sugar all over the stove top, pastries, plate, and counter - way more than there should be for the amount of shaking going on.

You Can Never Go Home Again - S3-E24

Continuity mistake: Niles and Frasier are at Marty's old apartment and Niles sits down on the couch. Eddie is sitting next to him, staring. During this scene, the shots of Eddie show him moving from fairly close to Niles, to about 10 inches away, and then back again. He has no time to change position naturally.

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: In the last scene, at the Cafe, Bob puts a dollar on the table in front of him. A waitress brings a cup and puts it down - the dollar has disappeared. In subsequent shots it reappears.

The Friend - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Bob are in Cafe Nervosa talking. Bob has a book in his hand. In another shot he is moving his hands around, even though there was no time for him to have put the book down.

A Word to the Wiseguy - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: At the end of their meeting outside Cafe Nervosa, Jerome throws his red paper napkin on the table and they say their goodbyes. In the shot after he walks away there is no sign of the red napkin.

Martin Does It His Way - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: When Niles dumps Aunt Louise's ashes out of his shoe and onto the floor, there is carpeting under the pew. In the closing credits when the janitor is sweeping up the ashes, the carpeting is in a different place.

Frasier Loves Roz - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: While Daphne and Roz are talking in the kitchen, Daphne takes a carton of milk out of the fridge - and puts it down on her left - in the next shot it is on her right (with no change of camera angle).

The Focus Group - S3-E23

Continuity mistake: Frasier is having a glass of sherry, sitting on his couch, talking to Niles and Martin. As Marty says "let's go have dinner", Frasier throws his hands up - in real life he would have still had the sherry in his hands. There was no time for him to have put it down.

Moon Dance - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Martin is trying to get Eddie to shake a towel off his head while Daphne stands behind the dog, folding laundry. In one shot she is standing with the folded towel over her arm; in the next shot she is folding it again. When she goes to the door, there is something red on top of the laundry basket, but when she returns the towel is back in the laundry basket (it's not the towel Marty put on Eddie's head: that's sitting on the coffee table).

The Focus Group - S3-E23

Continuity mistake: When Manu pulls down the metal front over his kiosk, Frasier has his umbrella in his right hand. By the time Manu pulls it all the way down and catches his hand under it, Frasier's umbrella has shifted to his left hand, even though he never transferred it.

The Focus Group - S3-E23

Continuity mistake: The shot after Roz says "Roz Doyle, radio producer, single" shows the guy nearest to the window in the other room with his left hand next to his mouth and the woman next to him with her hand next to her chin. The following shot shows the man closest to the window with both his hands next to his mouth and the woman sitting next to him with her hands on her lap. (00:07:35)

Casual Person

Where There's Smoke There's Fired - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When everyone is sitting at the table having dinner, the amount of food on Bebe's plate changes repeatedly. She adds extra food twice, once from the pot and once from Martin's plate, but the difference in portion sizes changes more times than that and without time for it to be eaten. (00:11:05)

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: Counting his role on Cheers, Kesley Grammar has played Fraiser for twenty years. Is this the record for the longest portrayal of a character by a TV actor?

Answer: It equals the record of James Arness of "Gunsmoke" for the actor who's played the same part on TV NOT in a soap opera. If you include soaps there are two main contenders - William Roache, who's been playing Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in the UK since 1960. Don Hastings has been playing Robert Hughes in US soap "As the World Turns" since 1960 as well.
