Storyline

Edit

It is nearly time for the Seattle Christmas Parade, and Frasier, who as a child viewed this event as marking the official start of Christmas, is keen to co-host the KACL coverage with Kelly Kirkland. He ingratiates himself by inviting her for a meal at his apartment, and prepares dishes that have featured in her Channel 6 show. She is very happy to give him the job, but the following day Kelly announces that she has food poisoning and is unable to host at all. Suddenly, Frasier finds himself co-hosting with Dr. Mary Thomas, recently returned to KACL by popular demand.

Trivia
The celebrity callers in this episode are Stephen King as Brian and Wolfgang Puck as Tom. Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) tries to squeeze both men in before the news, however they both state that they would rather wait.

Goofs
The reference to the flag should be half staff not half mast- staff is on land, mast is on a ship (non-military people almost always get this wrong).

Quotes
Dr. Frasier Crane: [Niles enters, carrying a gift] Niles.
[laughs]
Dr. Frasier Crane: I hope you had the presence of mind to bring presents of mine!
Dr. Niles Crane: [Insincerely laughs, tired of the joke] I haven't heard that line since last year!

Crazy credits
When the title "Frasier" is on screen, in the usual accompanying silhouette of Seattle The Space Needle has a Christmas tree star at its top and is decorated with colored lights hanging from wires.

Dr. Mary Returns

Frasier gets his childhood wish when he is able to be the cohost for a big Christmas parade in Seattle. He is giddy. But he is told that Mary, the one that temporarily worked with him on the air, will be joining him. She is a flamboyant black woman who is quite demonstrative. Things begin to go south when she takes over and Frasier begins to act like a child.
