I watched this on Netflix and there appears to be some damage on the film (video?) towards the end. I don't mind it one bit, it actually kind of works for the dream sequence thing, but I'm writing about it here because I'm quite curious, and I've seen nothing written about it. The trivia section here was the last place I looked. Similar to the time difference between Boston and wherever Diane and Frasier are in Europe is ignored. Although with the possible exception of Sam's planning to fly to Florence.
What I'm referring to is that Cheers is open, and hopping with a full contingent of regulars at the same time Frasier and Diane are attempting a romantic dinner. Now, maybe people just didn't care about that kind of thing back then, but I think it's worth noting.
If you allow for the Italian way of life in having the big meal in the middle of the day rather than the evening, the math couldn't possibly work out because it goes the wrong way. Let's say it is Pranzo, and it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon - then it would be 8 in the morning in Boston. If it IS an evening meal, then it for the bar to even be just open (at a reasonable - or even legal - time, and immediately "hopping") it would have to be 10pm. I guess that's the most possible, but even an hour later seems quite unlikely, Frasier's later character's penchant for late dinners not withstanding. Even if you say the bar opens early, it couldn't possibly be that busy, say at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, with regulars in tow.
I didn't care to notice it happening in prior episodes while the show bi-located, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a constant inconsistency that season.
