Frasier

Trivia

• Kelsey Grammer (Dr. Frasier Crane), David Hyde Pierce (Dr. Niles Crane) and John Mahoney (Martin Crane) are the only actors to appear in every episode of the series.
• When the idea of Frasier was presented for the first time, the makers of Frasier questioned whether or not the idea of two brothers of similar temperament would work as a television series. However, the writers created a successful television series that lasted for 11 seasons.
• Frasier's radio show is on KACL 780 AM, which is so named to honor the show's creators: Angell, Casey, Lee. (The K is a prefix because the station is west of the Mississippi river, a standard in broadcast stations. See the page on call signs for more on this.)
• Niles' wife Maris never makes an appearance on the show, even after 11 seasons. This was a continuation of a tradition started on "Cheers". Norm Peterson's wife, Vera, never show her face (she does make one appearance; but is hit with a pie before her face is actually shown).
