Trivia

Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) claims to have had - in his days of private practice - a great deal of female adulation. However, in season five's Frasier: The Maris Counselor (1998), Frasier complains that no patients have ever fallen in love with him, "...not even that fat lady who brought me fudge".

Goofs

When Martin asks about Frasier's dental floss, Frasier becomes alarmed and tells him he can't have his "Cinnamon Waxed Floss". But later when we see the floss being used it's white, cinnamon waxed floss is red.

Quotes

User Reviews

Daphne Oversteps Her Bounds

Lucy and Ethel (I mean Daphne and Roz) team up to find the details on a patient that said she was in love with Niles. Daphne found this in a confidential file and sets out on the journey of discovery. Meanwhile, Martin and Frasier us every method imaginable to destroy a cricket that has invaded the apartment. There's some pretty funny stuff here. Niles, however, finds nothing humorous in Daphne's activities.
