    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The "Bob Vernon" character is based on an actual radio broadcaster by the same name. Bob Vernon did afternoon drive-time radio in the 1970s on WGAR in Cleveland and WNBC in New York City. (On NBC he referred to himself as "Vernon with a V.") The character name appearance on "Frasier" was a tribute to Bob Vernon from a "Frasier"' producer to whom Bob had given encouragement early in his career.
    • 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.
