Quotes

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.

When Martin is asleep reading a book, from one angle he is holding the book at the bottom and from another angle, at the top. See more...

Trivia

At one stage, Niles refers to Frasier's 'Big red clown shoes'. Kelsey Grammer provided the voice for Sideshow Bob in The Simpsons, a clown character who wore such shoes. In fact, in the first episode Kelsey Grammer's voice was used, those shoes were key to the plot. See more...

The sweeping view of Seattle that Frasier has from his living room window would only be possible if he lived atop one of the transmission towers on nearby Queen Anne Hill. [Not True. The physical citi-scape of Seattle proves this wrong, look at any map! The view from "Frasier" is clearly looking westward (note position of Space Needle to the city). Further, the top of Queen Anne Hill is listed (check Wikipedia or Google) at 500 feet above sea level, and the Space Needle is listed at 502'. to add a transmission tower would create an image looking DOWN on the Space Needle. Truthfully, the image of Frasier is looking WEST across Lake Union and not at ALL related to the Queen Anne Hill area at all. Check any Seattle map, this is easily verified.]

Corrected by OneHappyHusky

Daphne's brother Simon, who turns up in several of the later seasons, has no trace of a Manchester accent. It sounds like a fake Cockney, London accent. Surely the casting people could have found someone from northern England to fill the role. [My family comes from Greater Manchester & my sister moved to Gloucestershire a number of years ago & now she (& my niece) speaks with a broad Gloucester accent.]

Author, Author (series 1)

In Frasier's apartment Niles is apparently typing on his laptop, which when viewed from behind is off. The screen is totally black. [Niles has one of those laptops with the old LCD screen, to see what he sees, you have to be pretty much at his angle.]

Give Him the Chair! (series 1)

In the episode "Call Me Irresponsible" from season 1, Frasier and Catherine are making out on Martin's old chair, which starts vibrating (probably because they inadvertently hit a switch on the side). But in "Give Him the Chair", Frasier tries to replace Martin's old chair by buying a new one which has a built-in massager. When Martin tries it, he looks horrified and says "That's disgusting", even though his beloved chair had the same feature. [What someone can't change their mind? At best one could say this makes Martin a hypocrite but not a mistake.]

The Good Son (series 1)

Frasier is told that his show has only 30 seconds left and then he gets cut off to go to the hourly news. Yet when he stands up you can see the clock on the wall showing 7 minutes to the hour. [If Frasier's radio show finishes 7 minutes to the hour, it would be to allow 7 minutes of news, so the next show can start on the hour, just like other programs on the radio.]

When Daphne is hired, Frasier assumes she will live out. Marty wants to her live in and says she could have the room across from his. Throughout the series, Daphne's room is down a hall behind the kitchen and Marty and Frasier's rooms are next to each other in the same hall. Even in the first show, Niles takes Marty's suitcases down the hall behind the fireplace. [People can change rooms. They may have decided to change them later on.]

Flour Child (series 2)

The Get Well Card that Frasier has to steal isn't musical at the start but is musical when he tries to return it to the hospital room. [Early on in the show, in Frasier's booth, Roz shows Frasier the card and it is musical. Frasier had to replace it but we must assume it is musical as well, as it is the same card.]

Are You Being Served? (series 4)

When Niles gets an call from Maris on his cellphone, he reaches for his cellphone in his jacket pocket before the phone rings. [My phone starts to vibrate before the ring tone is heard.]

Roz's Krantz & Gouldenstein are Dead (series 4)

In this episode Niles states that Maris never goes on cruises because of her fear of buffets. However, Maris goes on cruises, in both the season three episode "Moon Dance" and the season five episode "Voyage of the Damned". [He was making a joke.]

The Perfect Guy (series 5)

Frasier seems jealous in this episode that Dr Webber went to Oxford, he even says, "Ohh well, even better," in comparison to his own Harvard. However, in several other episodes we are told that Frasier went to both Harvard and Oxford so why the jealously? Similarly in other episodes, he never mentions Oxford, only Harvard as where he went to University. [Since his degree is from Harvard, taking a class or two (or a semester or two) at Oxford doesn't have the same panache as actually having your degree from Oxford.]

The 1000th Show (series 5)

Frasier and Niles get stuck on the Monorail and have to go back to the previous station because of an electrical failure up ahead. Why then, does a train zoom past them going in the direction they wanted to go? [Clearly, the train that passes is on a different rail to them, and it is their rail that has the electrical problem.]

Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz (series 6)

In the scene in the store, Roz is looking at a yellow sweater. After she leaves, Frasier asks a clerk to find him one in another size. The clerk comes back with a sweater in exactly the same colour, but a totally different style. [Character mistake - he brought the wrong sweater. Not a film mistake.]

Roz, a Loan (series 6)

Marty is comforting Eddie who he says has been taunted by a blue jay. This particular bird is not found in Seattle - it is found in much of North America but not west of the Rockies. Marty, who had spent all his live in Seattle, would not make this mistake - and if he had spotted a blue jay there it would have been highly unusual and remarked on. [Living in one place for your whole life doesn't necessarily mean that you're an expert on all of the bird species that live there. I've lived in the same area of the USA for almost all of my life, and I couldn't tell you whether any particular bird (except for obviously out-of-place ones, like penguins or flamingos) is uncommon.]

Dark Side of the Moon (series 7)

Frasier lives in a high rise, apparently on the 19th floor (his is 1901). When Daphne throws the other tenant's laundry off the balcony, we hear the crash of cars below within a second or two (she had earlier explained to her therapist that she caused a car accident). In real life, of course, it would have taken longer for them to reach the ground. [There is no evidence to say exactly what happened when she threw the clothes off but it doesn't neccesarily reflect it reached the car. One of the drivers might have seen the clothes being thrown off, been distracted and crashed.]

Cranes Go Caribbean (series 8)

When Daphne and Niles are at the bait shop right at the end, they both have 2 shadows - a clear indication of studio lighting. [No, it's a clear indication of two light sources inside the shop.]

Semi-Decent Proposal (series 8)

When Frasier first meets Claire, they have a flirtatious exchange speaking German. This contradicts the episode in Season 2 when Frasier discovers that Maris might be having an affair with her new Bavarian fencing instructor; in that one, he can't speak German. [First of all Frasier could speak German in that episode. It's made very clear he could because when Niles goes to speak with the trainer he gets Frasier to translate for him. Even if he didn't, there has been six seasons worth of episodes between those two episodes. You don't think it’s possible he learned a bit of German during that time?]

Motor Skills (series 8)

Roz acquires a Dalmatian puppy which is constantly referred to as a "he" even though it is a she. Roz even names it "Ariel" which Marty scoffs at as a girl's name. Later in the season the dog appears again, having grown quite a bit, but while it may not be the same dog, it is still a female, and is still referred to as "he". [Having numerous cats and dogs over the years I can tell you its very easy to mistake the animals gender at times simply because gender is not as big an issue with pets. A friend of mine had a female dog called Harry who looked more male. I still referred to the dog as a "he" many times despite it being a female dog.]

Mother Load (1) (series 9)

When the American flag appears, Daphne has her arm around her mother's shoulder. In the next shot, when Niles says "How did you do that?", Daphne's hands are in her lap. [If you look close during the wide shot, Daphne has her arm around her mother while Frasier is talking, but then takes it and places it in her lap as the flag drops. Then we cut to the close-up with her hands in her lap - no continuity error there.]

Rooms With a View (2) (series 10)

Before Niles is taken to the OR Roz says "24 hours ago we didn't even know anything was wrong with Niles". Yet his room is filled with flowers and cards and Maris has had time to find out through the gossiper Jaime. It seems a little unlikely if less than 24 hours had passed. [There is an old saying that goes "Gossip spreads like wildfire." This is very true, so it is very possible the Maris found out within a day.]

Goodnight, Seattle (2) (series 11)

(for the final episode, "Goodnight Seattle"). Daphne and Niles have a son. But in "Rooms with a View" we were shown their future and they had two daughters. [This occurred before Daphne was Pregnant. She could have merely imagined her and Niles having two daughters. For the record, they conceived some time after Niles' operation.]
