Fans have spotted a glaring blunder while watching an episode of Frasier, thanks to Kelsey Grammer.
The acclaimed comedy premiered in 1993 and ran for 11 seasons, before ending in 2004.
The series, a spin-off of Cheers, followed the stuffy psychiatrist as he returned to Seattle and reunited with his brother, Niles Crane (David Hyde Pierce) and their dad, Martin (John Mahoney).
Despite being off air for two decades, fans have watched Frasier on repeat ever since, with episodes airing on weekday mornings on Channel 4 in the UK, and streaming on multiple streaming services in the US.
On one particular binge session, eagle-eyed Reddit user Calikola spotted that Kelsey – who was married to ex-wife Camille Grammer at the time of filming – accidentally left his wedding ring on in one season eight scene.
As much of the sitcom saw the radio host attempting to find love, and failing miserably, the jewelry was definitely out of place.

Taking to the dedicated Frasier subreddit, they shared a screenshot of the scene in question, showing Frasier unwittingly flashing his wedding band as he queuing up for Bruce Springsteen tickets.
‘Looks like Kelsey forgot to remove his wedding ring before shooting this scene,’ they wrote beside the photo.
‘Happens at the end of season 8, episode 22 – “A Passing Fancy” when Frasier is waiting on line for Bruce Springsteen tickets [sic].’
Fans couldn’t get enough of the spot, praising the original poster for managing to capture the goof.

‘Good eye! But now I’m never going to be able to unsee this lol,’ Bwoahful__ replied, before joking: ‘I hope someone got fired for this blunder!’
Whiskyguitar revealed: ‘There’s a scene in Nervosa where he clearly took his ring off between takes so it appears and disappears a few times.’
Sad-Lingonberry2680 drew attention to another instance of the missing ring, sharing a video of a clip also from season eight, showing the moment Frasier found himself shopping for a DVD player when he met Claire (Patricia Clarkson).

In the footage, the observant fan noticed that his wedding ring continually appeared and disappeared as the scene progressed.
ZorrosMommy added: ‘Wow! That’s a tiny thing to notice. I didn’t catch it until I read your comment. Good for you!’
Kelsey was married to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille for around 13 years – she even landed a cameo in season five as a woman Frasier flirted with at a party.

Their relationship wasn’t to last and she filed for divorce in 2010 – with RHOBH cameras capturing the end of their romance.
Last year, Kesley reprised his role as the titular character in the Paramount+ revival – surrounded by a brand new cast.
In the reboot, he switched Seattle for Boston and was joined by Nicholas Lyndhurst, Jack Cutmore-Scott, Anders Keith, Jess Salgueiro and Toks Olagundoye.

Although the show was filled with newcomers, we did get some familiar faces back on the small screen as Bebe Neuwirth and Peri Gilpin reprised their roles as Lilith Sternin and Roz Doyle respectively.
Ahead of the second season, it was announced last week that Peri has been bumped up to a recurring guest star, meaning she will be popping up a lot more.
Filming has started, with James Burrows directing the first two episodes – but it is currently unclear when the program will premiere.
Frasier is available to stream on Paramount+ now.
