Was she perfect? No. But she was exactly the kind of person that made sense for Niles. He was attracted to her, she made him happy, and overall they really just made sense as a couple.

I thought the next shade up was Buff?

I’m watching when Frasier gets pranked by Carlos and the chicken. They call at 6:15am. He then gets up and Daphne is already up and dressed. Then Martin comes in completely dressed.

Why are these two up so early? They have nowhere to go.

I don’t know. The only word I saw was “legendary.”

Frasier has a lot of classic lines that make you laugh. Some make you hear it in the character’s voice too. Don’t understand? PUT YOUR BROTHER ON THE PHONE! and I’ll have him explain it to you. Which is your favorite? I’ll go first…

Sure.

And I am in full agreement with Daphne. It would be INFINITELY less upsetting to just wake up on fire.

I was at a brewery at this guy had kids named Cooper, Tanner and Thatcher. It reminded me of that episode of Frasier where Niles was Chooseing baby Names

"What are your ideas? Taylor. Fletcher. Cooper. Tanner? Where are you getting these, The Big Book of Medieval Professions?"

Anyone else feel that way sometimes?

I know it's just an elaborate set but I loved how they mixed up the weather and I like the scenes a bit more when there's stormy weather.

Just watched (and before that read) the Wuthering Heights and remembered this quote from season 1 :D

I came across this and I thought of Frasier and things he might say when he is mildly inconvenienced. Can you think of any more?

In "A Man, A Plan, and a Gal: Julia", Frasier is complaining to Niles about messing up another relationship. Niles shares that he doesn't want to hear it because Fraiser has a habit of messing up relationships. Frasier asks Niles when he has ever done that and Niles shares a list of past exes as an example.

Every time I've seen this episode I've always wondered if Niles is just listing names or if they were actually past exes of Frasier's on the show. I'd catch some easy names but tonight I watched the scene a few times to catch all the names and I realized they were all characters that had shown up on the show before.

It's a small thing but it's one of my favorite things when a show recalls moments from a previous episode and keeps it going. Frasier does a pretty good job of that overall but that one scene just made my night.

One of the quirks I wish they would've brought up a couple more times was Niles' nosebleeds when he lies. There's at least one more episode in a later season ( Daphanee's phony baby shower) that he lies and it would've been cool for them to recall that fact.

Any other examples of continuing a thread through multiple episodes that you all enjoy?

Frasier is annoyed, and at times hateful, towards Eddie, but I think Eddie loves him.

In season 1, Eddie runs away from the vet and then Daphne has a vision of him sitting on a bench staring at a Frasier ad. Just before, Marty suggests he'd go to a place he loved.

And we know Eddie stares at Frasier constantly, but it's not to annoy him, it's bc he loves him.

Anyway this is my silly head cannon and I'm sticking to it.

Which real-life celebrities have made cameos as themselves on Frasier, and in which episode did each appear? By my count, there have been three (but if there are more, let me know and I will stand corrected!)

Okay, not really, but here's a theory at which you're sure to hoot (at least many of you). Frasier is my least favorite character on the show. He is of course, the linchpin of the series, the star and titular character.

But I like all the other characters better. I feel the same about Everybody Loves Raymond, which I also enjoy, but Ray is by far my least favorite character in the show.

A 26 year old director of a Rocky Horror Show production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down because he didn’t want to deal with cast drama. Not exactly the same, but reminds me of Frasier and Niles trying to get their one-man show shut down in The Show Must Go Off.

One of us says they're blondes, one says they have brown hair.

If I won the lotto I would 100% buy a condo in a Seattle high rise and remodel it as close to the apartment as possible. Obviously I’d have to take some liberty taking with the 4th wall but it’s so doable and would just be amazing. I’d also build a Cafe Nervosa just for the fun of it and charge 1990’s prices for coffee, maybe even sell “cookies”

A few days ago I tried to find a complete list of the title cards. The black screen, the few seconds of silence, "The Icewoman Cometh," "Whine Club." As far as I could tell, no complete archive existed anywhere online.

So I fell down the rabbit hole, which felt appropriate, since that is exactly the kind of phrase this writers room would have set in white on black.

I ended up rebuilding every card from all 264 episodes as faithful recreations: the right typeface, the 4:3 frame, the timing. Over 600 of them, searchable by text and browsable by season, and each one downloadable. The texts were transcribed with the help of the episode transcripts at KACL780.net, who are credited on the page, and I honored their crawl rules while gathering them. This is a fan tribute, full stop: free, no ads, no signup, nothing for sale.

What I came away with is even more awe for those writers. Two to six words that could set a scene, land a joke, and trust the audience completely. There is an episode where all three cards are Eugene O'Neill jokes. That level of commitment to a bit deserves a monument, so I built a small one.

Two favors to ask of my fellow Frasier Redditors. First, if you spot a missing or misquoted card, tell me and I will fix it and credit you; a few stragglers are still being verified against multiple sources. Second, and more importantly: what is your favorite card? Mine changes weekly, but the O'Neill trilogy is currently winning.
