Trivia

This is the second time Frasier Crane is dating a character played by Jennifer Tilly. While in this episode she is called "Kim", in fourth season Cheers, episode 17, she is called "Candi". Their initial conversations in the two episodes, though over 15 years apart, are quite similar!

Goofs

Frasier and Niles compare how many times they have been the subject of "transference" (when a patient falls in love with their psychiatrist). Frasier boasts that he's had thirteen such patients; however in an earlier episode, he laments that he's never had a patient fall for him.

Quotes

Martin Crane: Plus, I'm startin' out with one strike against me.
Ronee Lawrence: Mother still remembers a night he drove me home from babysitting you and Niles, thirty years ago...
Martin Crane: Forty years ago.
Ronee Lawrence: I'm telling this story. I was all weepy because this guy had just dumped me, and your father put his arm around me, just to be nice. And Mom saw it and she thought he was trying to rob me of my virtue.
Dr. Frasier Crane: [chuckling] Oh, that's crazy.
Ronee Lawrence: I know, like there was anything left to rob.
[They all laugh]

User Reviews

Jennifer Tilly and Frasier - Part Duex

This is actually the second time Jennifer Tilly played a love interest opposite the "Fraiser" character. In 1986 she played Frasier's new girlfriend "Candi Pearson" on Cheers. Fraiser meets her after a bad date with Lilith, and they decide to get married right after they meet.

She was SMOKING hot back then! At that point she was already being type-cast as an empty-headed bimbo.

Ultimately they don't get married. Which is good, because it would have ruined the future "Frasier" show.

I know, probably nobody cares about that. : )
