Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: In the conference room, Frasier says, "I just said that," and the shot shows his arms resting on the table with his hands up, gesturing. The next shot, from the side, shows him leaning back in his chair with his arms right off the table. The shot then goes back to the original position. There was no time for him to move naturally.

The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Luke are on Luke's boat, Luke is holding a book and some yellow papers while they talk. Sometimes the sheets are on top of the book, and sometimes they are underneath the book.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Niles and Daphne are in the elevator talking about Donny. Daphne has her hands on top of her purse with her fingers laced together. Niles puts his hand over hers but in the next shot his hand is on her wrist and she has her hand against her jacket's lapel.

The New Friend - S8-E7

Continuity mistake: Niles is sitting at a table in Cafe Nervosa looking at a magazine - he has a page folded back and we can a large photo on the page. When Roz comes over to use her cell, the shot goes back to Niles and now he has the mag opened at a different page. There's another change when Frasier comes over to use his cellphone. At no time did Niles actually turn a page or even have time to do so.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: When Niles and Daphne are on the couch talking about the meteor shower, she has his hand on his left knee and he is covering it with both of his hands. After he says "two horrible wrongs", his right hand is suddenly on his right knee, with no time for natural switch.

Taking Liberties - S8-E5

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Niles are in Cafe Nervosa, Frasier is holding section of newspaper in his lap, with an inch or two showing on the table. He and Niles suddenly grab for their cellphones and the newspaper appears fully on top of the table.

Cranes Unplugged - S8-E10

Continuity mistake: Frederick is visiting and sitting on Frasier's couch with headphones on, playing a Gameboy. Frasier pulls off Freddy's headphones, which then lie around his neck while Frederick continues to hold the Gameboy. In the next shot, the headphones and Gameboy are on the coffee table and Freddy is sitting quite a bit to the left of them.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Roz is at Frasier's to tape some CDs, and we see her take some cassettes out of her purse. The shot goes to Frasier and then back to her - the cassettes have disappeared. After he explains that he can't stay, we see Roz open her purse and take out the cassettes again.

The Bad Son - S8-E3

Continuity mistake: Niles and Daphne are on the couch talking about the meteor shower and Niles is holding Daphne's hand between his right hand and his left knee. In the next shot, without enough time for this to happen naturally, his right hand is on his right knee.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: Frasier is holding a paper with his story on it as he is talking to John Glenn in the conference room. The shot changes as Glenn says, "I don't want to go behind someone's back", and Frasier's hands are now clasped in front of him.

Motor Skills - S8-E11

Continuity mistake: Roz takes the puppy from Marty and puts her hands around its hindquarters, but in the next shot her hands are up around its front legs. There was no time for any change of position.

Docu.Drama - S8-E16

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is in the boardroom with Roz and her production team, Frasier is writing in a binder, which is on top of a couple of books. In some shots we see a couple of different books in front of him on the table. One of them is called "Mars," which he had put back in his briefcase at the beginning of the scene.

Legal Tender Love and Care - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: Frasier, Niles, Daphne, Marty, and Abby are having dinner at a restaurant. Abby has a notepad and cellphone on the table. When Niles announces Donny has just walked in, the next shot shows Abby drinking champagne, but the notepad and cellphone have disappeared.

Daphne Returns - S8-E19

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Roz is in Cafe Nervosa reading a children's book. Frasier comes in and she puts the book behind her, presumably into her purse which is hanging on the chair. But throughout the scene, the book is sitting on the table in front of her.

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.

Caught in the Act - S11-E15

Trivia: When Nanette tells Frasier she's tired of playing her children's show character, she asks him if he knows what it's like to play the same character for twenty years. By this point, Kelsey Grammer had been playing Frasier for twenty years: eleven on 'Frasier' and nine on 'Cheers'.

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.
