Continuity mistake: Frasier puts the tuna on the coffee table for Mr. Bottomsley and the cat jumps up and starts to eat it - he is facing the couch. In the next shot we see Eddie come into the room and suddenly the cat has moved and is facing Marty's chair - without enough time for the change.

The Placeholder - S11-E5

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits of the show, Frasier and Roz are in Cafe Nervosa. Frasier has a fabric shopping bag, and in some shots you can see the leaves of one vegetable and in other shots you can see the leaves of two vegetables. These leaves are quite large and distinctively different.

Suggested correction: This has been addressed in the Questions section. Frasier is apparently choosing to deal with his allergies, in order help the cat's owner. It's also possible for allergies to be triggered by one cat, but not another. It depends on the amount of dander that the particular cat produces, and the level of Fel D. 1, a protein in their saliva.

Frasier: Niles, I would shave my head for you.
Niles: A gesture which becomes less significant with each passing year.

Show generally

Question: When Nanny G says that she has played the same character for twenty years it gets a big laugh. What is the joke? Am I missing something here?

Answer: Nanny G (Nanette Guzman - played by Laurie Metcaf) has been a children's entertainer for twenty years, and tells Frasier, "Do you know what it's like to play the same character for 20 years?!" The joke is that Kelsey Grammer has been playing Frasier Crane since 1984, when the character first appeared on "Cheers", so Kelsey in real life has been doing just that!
