Frasier TV questions and answers

When Frasier is talking to Eddie, his tie switches back and forth constantly between shots - sometimes it lies straight down his shirt, other times it is draped across his jacket and around his side. See more...

Trivia

In the opening credits Niles mentions that Daphne had lost 9 lbs. 12 oz at the weight-loss spa. This is probably a deliberate reference to the birth of Janes Leeves' (Daphne) daughter. According to www.imdb.com, she was born in Jan 2001 and weighed 9 lbs. 12 oz. See more...

Counting his role on Cheers, Kesley Grammar has played Fraiser for twenty years. Is this the record for the longest portrayal of a character by a TV actor? [It equals the record of James Arness of "Gunsmoke" for the actor who's played the same part on TV NOT in a soap opera. If you include soaps there are two main contenders - William Roache, who's been playing Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in the UK since 1960. Don Hastings has been playing Robert Hughes in US soap "As the World Turns" since 1960 as well.]

There's probably an obvious answer to this but is there any actual in-show significance to the 'Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs' song heard at the end of every episode? I ask mainly because I remembered there was one show in particular where Frasier unintentionally scars Lilith emotionally and pretty much cements the end of their relationship over a misunderstanding about scrambled eggs. Were there any similar conflicts over a tossed salad? [In the last episode, they explained that Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs is a metaphor for the mixed-up people to whom Frasier dispenses his radio psychiatric advice.]

When Nanny G says that she has played the same character for twenty years it gets a big laugh. What is the joke? Am I missing something here? [Nanny G (Nanette Guzman - played by Laurie Metcaf) has been a children's entertainer for twenty years, and tells Frasier, "Do you know what it's like to play the same character for 20 years?!" The joke is that Kelsey Grammer has been playing Frasier Crane since 1984, when the character first appeared on "Cheers", so Kelsey in real life has been doing just that!]

Answered by Rikki

Every cast member of Cheers has been on Frasier at one time or another except Kirstie Alley (Rebecca). Does anyone know why she did not appear? [She did not see herself reprising that role unless Rebecca had made a huge change like becoming a psychiatrist.]

Answered by Paul Pepiton

How much older is Frasier than Niles, and what is the age difference between Niles and Daphne? [According to Wikipedia (so add the usual disclaimer), Frasier is six years older than Niles. Daphne's age is never stated - if we were to make the assumption that she's the same age as the actress who plays her, then Daphne would be three years younger than Niles.]

Answered by Tailkinker

Why did Frasier and Lilith get divorced? [Lilith had an affair with one of her colleagues.]

Niles says about the garter Roz brings that he "especially likes the little adometre", or something similar. What does that mean? [Odometer. It's the thing in the car that measures how far you've gone. It's a joke on how many guys she's been with.]
