Continuity mistake: When Clive arrives at the apartment, he puts his coat over the front of the arm of the couch. As the scene progresses and Marty tells him about being an astronaut, the coat is suddenly on the back of the arm of the couch, even though no one moved it.
Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: After Roz says to John, "I hardly recognized you with that mustache", one hand is up by her chest and the other is on her knee, but when the shot changes, both hands are clasped together.
To Kill a Talking Bird - S4-E14
Continuity mistake: Niles has his dog over at Frasier's. He sits down on the couch and the dog is facing the door. The next shows the dog standing about two feet away and facing the balcony - and the third shot shows her back in the first position. There was no time for her to change positions naturally.
Continuity mistake: During the bathroom scene where Frasier is in the bath talking to everyone, the bubbles on his face and shoulders change in position and amount from shot to shot.
Odd Man Out - S4-E24
Continuity mistake: Near the start of the show, when Frasier is checking for phone messages, his raincoat hanging up in the background sometimes has a bunched up sleeve and sometimes doesn't.
Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in his car with the woman, her seatbelt changes several times between shots. At least once it's off then on almost instantly, and sometimes it's under the lapel of her coat and then suddenly on top of it.
Continuity mistake: When Martin first finds out how Niles cured the basketball player, Niles is getting a drink, and Martin is in his chair. During the shots between them, the remote control on the table next to Martin instantly rotates between angles at least twice.
Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: Frasier's plastic container of veal rotates about 45 degrees between the time Stephanie gets up and the time she reaches to door - and no one touches it during those few seconds.
Roz's Turn - S4-E17
Revealing mistake: Bebe is in the booth telling Frasier how she misunderstood him about Roz. As she says "wink", we can see Frasier's reflection in the booth's glass - his head bobs up. The next shot we see, though, is of Frasier's head bobbing up - shot at the same time, we just see it a split second later.
Continuity mistake: The gang from the radio station is at Frasier's rehearsing for the radio play - Gil is sitting to the right of Marty's little table - he leans towards the table and puts his hand around a bottle of water but in the next shot he is pulling back from the table with a pencil in his hand, not the water. At the same time Bulldog, next to him, while Gil is reaching for his water, is holding his own water in front of him. When Gil pulls back with the pencil, Bulldog's arm is pulling his arm back from the left too.
Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: When Martin and Shelly are having a fight, Frasier puts a small bag down, which is yellow on one side and has a logo on the other. He puts it down with the yellow side facing us, and for a several shots it stays like that. However, when Martin is talking about "things that bugged me," you see the bag has inexplicably rotated so the logo is now facing us.
Three Dates and a Breakup (2) - S4-E20
Continuity mistake: While Frasier and Marty are in the kitchen arguing about Sherry, his can of beer moves from the right side of the counter quite a distance over to the left of the dishes he broke. The sugar bowl and jam pot also change positions during the same shots.
Three Dates and a Breakup (2) - S4-E20
Continuity mistake: When Marty is explaining why he broke up with Sherry, we can see his blue jacket hanging up on the book by the fireplace - as he says "I said it back", the coat is no longer there. It does reappear in later shots.
Continuity mistake: When Niles, Frasier, and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa arguing about getting a table, Roz's purse switches from her right shoulder to her left shoulder, even though she did not move it.
Continuity mistake: At the play run-through in the apartment, Gil is holding his script with a couple of pages folded back. The shot changes and as he says "romping with my school chums", the script is closed with no pages folded back, even though he had no time to change them.
Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: Near the start of the show, when the waitress gives Frasier the tickets for the show, she has a dark blue dish towel over her left arm, but as Frasier walks away, it is no longer there.
Continuity mistake: During the breakfast scene Marty's cane is leaning against the table in the same spot, but sometimes there is a bowl of lettuce next to it, and sometimes a bowl of cheese.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Frasier is sitting with Martin and Niles in Cafe Nervosa telling them about the radio play. As Marty says "we were a simple people", Frasier manages to open his briefcase, take out the script, put it on the table, and put his briefcase back on the floor and be sitting still - all in about 3 seconds. This just wouldn't be possible in real time.
Three Dates and a Breakup (2) - S4-E20
Continuity mistake: Frasier's third date, Leslie, shows up at his apartment wearing a long off-white coat. He hangs it up beside the fireplace; for the rest of the scene we sometimes see the coat hanging with the left sleeve straight and sometimes with the left sleeve all crinkled up.
Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: At Cafe Nervosa, while Roz is praying her old school mate won't recognize her, there is a crumpled up red napkin on the table. When he comes over to talk to her, it has magically disappeared.
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.
