Frasier

The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: Roz and Bulldog are sitting on her couch, talking about Baby Alice. Roz has her arms folded in front of her, but in the next shot she is leaning back with her arm behind her and her hand on the couch. The change in shot also shows a change in the position of the toys on the coffee table in front of them. The Tigger puppet goes from one side of the table to the other and the little teddy turns around 180 degrees.

The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: When Roz's date Ted returns her purse to her apartment, Bulldog answers the door. He barks at Ted and Ted nervously drops the purse. We see Bulldog close the door. He should have picked up the purse first, or he wouldn't have been able to close it. We do see him drop the purse in a chair as he heads to the kitchen, but we never actually see him pick it up.

The Dog That Rocks the Cradle - S7-E5

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits Roz and Frasier are sitting on his couch working. Roz is telling him that she has a date the next day - he is holding a magazine. But as she says "a month", the shot goes back to Frasier and he's holding papers rather than the magazine.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Marty is making tea for Regan in the kitchen and as he says "Lord in heaven", the kettle goes from being on the burner in the shot before to being on the counter, even though no one touched it.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the show, Poppy meets Niles at Cafe Nervosa. She has a black purse which she places on the table in front of her. During the scene, the purse is sometimes on the table and sometimes isn't, even though Poppy never removes it.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier, Regan, Niles, and Poppy are at the ball - Frasier asks Regan to dance and she leaves her purse on the table, where we can see the strap hanging down over the edge. A couple of shots later, as they dance by, we can see the purse has changed position and the strap is lying on the table.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the kitchen to get some herbal tea for Regan - the box is mauve - in the first shot it is laying on its side but after that it is standing upright, although Frasier didn't touch it during that time.

Rivals - S7-E6

Continuity mistake: Niles and Daphne are in the elevator and the door opens to reveal Frasier standing at his door holding Eddie. In the first couple of shots his arm is over Eddie's chest and legs, but then changes to his arm being under Eddie's front leg.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: Dr. Myshkin arrives at Frasier's from the Russian embassy to discuss the bear clock. He puts a diary on the coffee table where it sits to the right of the vodka, near Niles. Suddenly in one shot it has moved to the left, near Frasier. Later in the scene it has switched sides again.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Marty is being interviewed at the Antiques Road Show, the expert's clipboard changes from being flat against his body to perpendicular to it - with no time for a natural shift in position.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Roz is in Cafe Nervosa with a laptop. Next to it are 3 or 3 crumpled pieces of paper or Kleenex. A couple of shots later the pile shrinks to maybe one piece - without Roz or anyone else touching them.

A Tsar is Born - S7-E7

Continuity mistake: When Marty, Niles, and Frazier return from the taping of the Antiques Road Show, Marty hangs up his blue windbreaker and then Frazier hangs up his gray raincoat, obscuring Marty's coat. But throughout the scene, all we see is Marty's blue jacket - where did the raincoat go?

The Late Dr. Crane - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: Frasier is in the hospital waiting room and Phil (the guy who later pretends he is Frasier) is reading a newspaper - he folds it up before talking to Frasier but in the next shot, from another angle, we see him folding it up again.

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.
