Rewatching for the fifth time and I would like to know other bits of interesting trivia like how Kelsey Grammer was fighting some pretty bad addiction demons and how Niles lost his hair in a hurry

Neither Kelsey Grammer nor David Hyde Pierce cared for opera at all. John Mahoney had to give them pointers on the highlights of the genre.

probably the most interesting thing is to try and figure out which celebrity guest they got to phone in as a caller since they got quite a few big 90s guys in there

like of course david duchovny would call in as a sex addict :allears:

Wait, really? None of the caller voices ever jumped out at me as familiar; I just thought they were random actors, extras, whatever you'd call someone in such a one-time role.

The season finales usually had a "thank you for calling" montage of all the callers' headshots.

it's kinda hard to tell through the bad 90s phone audio filter they ran the voices through, assuming the actors didn't just literally phone in their cameo

Yeah Daphne's supposed to be an accredited physical therapist specializing in elderly care but she's a live in maid who's seen working with Martin a handful of times and is more often seen dusting Frasier's weird african sex gods

Remember that storyline where the writers forgot she was a physical therapist and wrote about Niles and her breaking class lines to be together. Think it was the one where Frasier had a butler. Pretty sure there was even a line like "Professionalism draws a line between a family and their servants" and Daphne just kind of rolls along with it.

Or the whole "you can't have sex in my house but you have to live here" episode. It seemed really weirdly puritanical, even for the 90's and especially from someone as educated and cosmopolitan as Frasier.

I think he was just mad over his constantly disappointing love life.

Also maybe Niles is a screamer?

I liked Mel too. She wasn't like Maris. She cared about Niles and was no where near as snippy as everyone else in the show, but they all aced like she was this horrible garbage monster because she suggested that Niles could be cork master (a stupid thing to begin with). Even the episode the used to establish she was a bitch they just skipped over everything and just had the main cast tear into her after the time skip.

LoL yeah and then after Niles ruins her life and cheats on her with his dad's physical therapist they write around it in circles with that whole "we have to act married or ill make this divorce really lovely" which went on foreeeeeever and sucked because they were trying to justify her being lovely but everything just made Niles look like a lovely child.

Like that episode with the parking garage. Completely unreasonable response to something he had to have run in to before but his principles.

Still, I love Luis Guzman so I'm conflicted.

It does seem like every time his "professional ethics" come up it's almost always immediately before he gray areas them away, like with the politician that thought he saw aliens
