Radio Wars - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: Frasier is sitting at his table composing a letter to Carlos and the Chicken, while talking to Niles about it. The two large reference books on the table in front of them change positions during the scene, without them touching the books.

Back Talk - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When Frazier comes into his booth to begin his show, Roz is reading a book. She says "Happy Birthday" to him and we can still see the book in front of her; but in the next shot it is lying on the console next to her, without any time for her to have put it there.

Everyone's a Critic - S7-E4

Continuity mistake: Frasier is sitting on his couch with Poppy, dropping hints about having an arts show on KACL - she has her hands folded on her knee. As Daphne says "he means your mother", the shot changes, and Poppy is suddenly holding a glass of wine, with no time for this to have happened.

Radio Wars - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: Similar errors occur in two different scenes: in the first breakfast scene, the coffee pot is sitting on the table but in the next shot Daphne is pouring herself a cup, with no time for her to have naturally picked it up. Later in another scene, Niles is there for breakfast, picks up the pot, and pours himself some coffee. In the next shot, the pot is on the table, again without enough time for him to have put it back.

Momma Mia - S7-E1

Continuity mistake: Marty brings a six-pack of beer to the cabin, and puts it down on the table where it stays for the scene - but during the scene one of the cans is sticking out for a few shots, then returns to normal later. No one went near the beer during that time.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Frasier goes to get a newspaper out of the curbside kiosk, and catches his jacket in it. He places the newspaper to his right on top of the rack beside it and the shot changes to Regan coming out of the florist behind him. Then we see the newspaper in his left hand, without having time to have picked it up.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Mel are in his dressing room, Mel puts Niles' jacket on the table in the center. A couple of shots later, the jacket changes position, even though neither of them touched it.

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.

To Thine Old Self Be True - S7-E20

Continuity mistake: Early on in the show, Frasier and Martin are having breakfast and we can see an orange napkin in Marty's lap. While he is talking, the camera angle behind his shoulder shows his left hand against his cheek. Right after that the napkin appears on the table to the left - with no time for him to have moved his hand and put it there.

Back Talk - S7-E10

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is talking to Eddie, his tie switches back and forth constantly between shots - sometimes it lies straight down his shirt, other times it is draped across his jacket and around his side.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: While Frasier is talking to Daphne about wooing Holly, the wine bottle on the coffee table changes position more than once - from sitting on a book on the left of the tray to being on the bare table on the right and then back again to the left of the tray, but not on the book. Nobody touches it during this time.

Out With Dad - S7-E15

Continuity mistake: At Frasier's apartment, Emily asks him if Marty is dating anyone. During the conversation Frasier's hands are in his pockets, and then in front of him, and then back in his pockets, from shot to shot.

Back Talk - S7-E10

Factual error: This episode takes place on Frasier's birthday - Martin had ordered a copy of the newspaper published the day Frasier was born and it is sitting on the dining room table when Daphne glances at it and says "Queen Elizabeth's had another baby." - in the Episode The Late Dr. Crane earlier in the same season, Frasier was mistakenly reported as dead on a local TV news show. The dates for his life were shown on the show as 1952-1999. The Queen, in fact, did not have a baby in 1952.

Whine Club - S7-E17

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Martin and Claire are sitting in Cafe Nervosa, talking. Claire has her left hand and arm crossed over in front of her but when the shot changes and Marty says "you don't think he was watching", her hand and arm are suddenly extended towards him, without time for this to have happened.

Dark Side of the Moon - S7-E22

Continuity mistake: When Roz comes over to meet Simon for their date, she is standing at the door talking and one strap from her shoulder bag is hanging down from the shoulder. The shot from behind her shows both straps are on her shoulder, and then the shot goes back to the front - it's down again. At no time did she adjust it.

The Fight Before Christmas - S7-E11

Continuity mistake: Mel and Frasier are talking at the KACL Christmas party - she says "did you two have a good time last night?" and her hands are down in front of her - in the next shot her hand is up at her neck, with no time to have done this naturally.

Something About Dr. Mary - S7-E16

Continuity mistake: Niles is showing Marty how he can kick box and he accidentally kicks Daphne. The tray she is covering flies up in the air, and the snack food ends up on the footstool and the floor. There is also an empty basket in front of the footstool. Niles goes to the kitchen to get ice for her wrist; when he returns most of the snack food and the basket have disappeared.

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.

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.
