Get Your Kicks on Route 666 - S10-E2

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is sitting at the bar talking about the trip he is going to take, Cliff walks over and sits down. There is a beer sitting in front of him - he pushes it forward and Sam moves it. The shot changes and the beer is back where Cliff had first moved it, and he is holding his own beer. For the rest of the scene his beer keeps appearing and disappearing while the other one keeps changing position.

Madame LaCarla - S10-E3

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Carla is sitting at a table in the bar, dressed as the new Madame LaCarla and is voicing her doubts about being the new Madame, you can see that Carla is only wearing one earring, the left. In other scenes she is wearing both.

The Norm Who Came in from the Cold - S10-E4

Continuity mistake: Carla tosses Rebecca an egg she is supposed to take care of, like a baby, for a $5 wager. The egg bounces off Rebecca's hands and over the bar onto the floor. In the next scene, Lilith and Frasier are walking into the bar and the egg was shown as being smashed on the bar itself. The next cutaway, with Lilith walking by the same spot, has no egg on the bar anymore. (00:03:40)

The Magnificent Six - S11-E4

Visible crew/equipment: At the end, Sam gives up trying to get the phone number of the woman at the table. As Sam walks back to the bar, Cheers director James Burrows can be seen directing an off-screen camera. He is the bearded man wearing the green shirt.

Ill-Gotten Gaines - S11-E8

Character mistake: Cliff tests Norm's memory by asking him who the bad guy in 'Herbie The Love Bug' was (presumably meaning the first movie, which was just 'The Love Bug, ' no Herbie in the title, and not the TV series that actually had the 'Herbie, the Love Bug' title). Norm answers Keenan Wynn, and is told by Cliff that is correct and that his memory is OK. Wynn was the antagonist in the second movie, 'Herbie Rides Again' (reprising his role from the 'Absent-Minded Professor'). The bad guy in 'The Love Bug' was played by David Tomlinson of 'Mary Poppins' fame.

One for the Road (1) - S11-E26

Visible crew/equipment: When Rebecca leaves Don at the table to relax while she gets champagne to "celebrate the answer", it cuts to an overhead shot as we hear the TV host introduce Salman Rushdie and Dr. Ruth, and the set lighting can be seen as well as the boom and mic moving around at the top of the screen. A few minutes later the mic can be seen bobbing again in the overhead shot from the same angle. (00:03:20 - 00:08:20)

One for the Road (1) - S11-E26

Continuity mistake: After Don leaves the bar, a few minutes later Frasier shouts at him, "Run, Don! Run like the wind!" and Rebecca is left sitting alone at the table crying, but when it cuts to the overhead shot of the bar we see Don is still sitting at the table, even though he left five minutes earlier. (00:07:05 - 00:08:15)

Super Grover

One for the Road (2) - S11-E27

Audio problem: While Sam and Dianne are at Melville's after both of their lies have been revealed, when Dianne tells Sam that she came back on a quest for the truth, we hear Sam respond, "And you just brought along your one-man Warren Commission there," but his mouth is saying something entirely different. (00:12:15)

Super Grover

Woody: Jack Frost nipping at your toes, Mr. Peterson?
Norm: Yeah, now let's get Joe Beer nipping at my liver.

One for the Road (3) - S11-E28

Question: When I streamed this episode, there were a couple of small scenes missing (Sam explaining that his cigars were a gift from Fidel Castro via Reggie Jackson; Sam kissing Rebecca goodbye). I know they used to cut scenes to cram in more commercials after the initial broadcast, but with a streaming service, you're not limited to a time slot. Why not air the whole thing?

Brian Katcher

Answer: They sometimes acquire episodes from syndicated reruns. The ones with the cut scenes. Sundance channel have some episodes of M.A.S.H. uncut.
