He then moved back to his hometown of Seattle and became a radio psychiatrist. Cheers Wiki Explore. Recent blog posts. Explore Wikis Community Central.
Register Don't have an account? Frasier Crane. In the end, they bid each other goodbye on good terms, happy with the memories they've shared back in Boston as chronicled in Cheers. When Frasier first starts visiting Cheers, he becomes the butt of many jokes for bar regulars like Cliff Clavin John Ratzenberger and Norm Peterson George Wendt , as well as waitress Carla Rhea Pearlman due to his quirkiness and odd sense of humor.
While they never stopped making fun of him, he eventually becomes a part of the group and develops a sense of kinship with them over time. Like regular visitors of Cheers, the bar becomes a place of refuge for Frasier where he meets and has fun with his friends after a day's work.
Frasier reunites with some of his old bar pals in Frasier season 9, episode 21, entitled "Cheerful Goodbyes. In the airport, he runs into Cliff and learns that he's retiring and is moving to Florida. A fellow psychiatrist, Lilith is known for being uptight and cold demeanor, although she loosens up every once in a while. The couple ties the knot and shares a son, Frederick, together. Unfortunately, their marriage doesn't last long as they run through a series of issues during their relationship.
They eventually divorce with Lilith getting custody of their young kid, while his father is awarded visitation rights. Lilith is the only Cheers original character who appears multiple times on Frasier. During the character's final appearance in Frasier , she and her ex-husband peacefully spend the night together — only to part ways in the morning. Fans are looking forward to reuniting with the Cranes through the in-development Frasier revival.
Again, the Tommy Westphall Universe expands the time range by leaps and bounds, ultimately running from the s to the present day. Frasier sets up a fresh chapter for its title character, but that doesn't mean that old Cheers friends can't fly out to Seattle.
Since Lilith is Frasier's ex-wife and the mother of his child, she comically appears throughout the show's run. Another former flame, Diane Chambers, shows up several times, and Sam Malone guest-stars once in the second season. Peri Gilpin had a role as a journalist in an episode of the final season of Cheers , just months before she began her Frasier journey. Oddly enough, John Mahoney was also on the final season of Cheers.
He was a jingle writer at the bar before he became Martin Crane. Fans of the Frasierverse might also like to know that Wings' Thomas Haden Church was on Cheers as a different character, too, in season eight.
Cheers truly was a sitcom for everybody , from the actors to the viewers. Yes, Kirstie Alley's religion prohibited her from considering a guest spot on Frasier. However, she wouldn't necessarily have been included. She called creator David Lee, according to the Sun Sentinel , and "coldly informed him that since she is a Scientologist and doesn't believe in psychiatry, she would be unable to appear on the program.
While working as a producer on Wings , Doyle was informed of her terminal cancer. Indeed, his friends at Cheers clearly mean a lot to Frasier, and in the episode " Cheerful Goodbyes ", Frasier says of them "They were there for me when I needed friends the most". Another difference was Frasier's reluctance to associate with animals—in particular dogs. In "Cheers", the character of Frasier Crane was seen to have liked dogs, even owning one " Pavlov " and feeling rather sad and guilty when his girlfriend Diane asks him to part ways with his fluffy companion because of her apparent allergy to dogs.
However in "Frasier" he seems to have no patience at all with dogs, having at first a particular dislike for Eddie, though this may be attributed to bitterness from having given up the dog. Crane is well-to-do, with upper class and intellectual tastes and a "lovably pompous. He is something of an epicure, and enjoys the finer things in life, such as wine, good food, and expensive tailoring. He is also an aficionado of the arts, including opera, classical music, theatre, and antiquities, and possesses some esoteric and obscure interests, such as Mongolian throat singing and African artifacts.
His favourite colour is "arctic silver, an option for a new model of BMW, which is well-established throughout the series as being his automobile brand of choice. His large ego, coupled with his Harvard and Oxford education, make him extremely confident in the advice he gives on his radio show where he comes across as much calmer and more thoughtful than in his personal life.
He is also somewhat self-absorbed and narcissistic, a consequence of his lonely childhood. When in a negative mood he is prone to being sarcastic. He is also gullible and very trusting of others, as demonstrated in the Season 7 episode "Radio Wars", when he is the subject of prank phone calls from his KACL colleagues.
Despite having endured a similar battle in the Season 3 episode "Leapin' Lizards", it does not occur to him that he is being tricked in the same manner. He is extremely pompous and verbose, prone to making grand, melodramatic declarations regarding his intentions and making the most of every opportunity to make a speech. Frequently, his pomposity and snobbery is undercut and belittled by the other characters he encounters, and is often the cause of many of the misfortunes and crises that occur in his life.
Although he shares many traits with Niles, he does not have as many allergies, is more realistic and easy going, and appears somewhat more athletic. Despite his own snobbery, Frasier is often required to play straight man to Niles' own quirks, particularly his obsessive hygiene. Frasier is passionate about psychiatry. A staunch Freudian, he had a poster of his hero on his bedroom wall as a child, dresses as Freud for Halloween and states, "the classic Oedipus complex Well, well, old friend, we meet again.
This frequently leads him to obsessively overanalyze and fret about minor details regarding his life and relationships, which frequently creates problems in his life. When obsessing so, he is frequently prone to ignore the advice given to him by his family and friends and pursue his own course of action, which more often than not leads to disaster. His habit to overanalyze is so severe, that he once spent an entire episode fretting about a dream with homo-erotic implications, only later realizing that the dream did not possess any significant implications regarding his life; it was merely a consequence of his subconscious attempting to give himself a challenging patient himself following a dearth of them on his show.
Whilst rarely heeding the advice given to him by others, Frasier himself is full of advice to impart, and offers the benefit of his counsel to the extent that he frequently meddles in the affairs and relationships of others, much to the chagrin of his family and friends.
Although this approach can be beneficial such as his influence in bringing together his brother Niles and Daphne Moon and forms the basis of his successful career, his advice and plans can frequently backfire on him, and can frequently lead to complicated, tangled, embarrassing scenarios. Frasier's meddling - and the adverse consequences it frequently leads to - is not intended maliciously, however; he is extremely well-meaning and eager to please, and desires nothing more than to be liked and popular.
On the whole, he genuinely does desire to help people and is a fundamentally good and kindhearted person. Frasier becomes much more grounded and down to earth as the series progresses and he seems to desire little more than happiness for himself and his friends and family.
During his school years, Frasier developed interests in - and frequently excelled at - the fine arts, cooking, and other intellectual pursuits. He was keen on and drawn to the theatre, appearing in several amateur school productions, and seems to have considered acting as a future vocation, but inspired by his mother, he developed a fascination for psychiatry.
This may also have been partially inspired by his father being a police detective. Frasier stated he became a student of human behavior when at age 8 he was tormented by bullies.
His mother explained to him why the children were acting that way, thus leading to his distancing himself from the pain of rejection by analyzing others rather than reacting to them on an emotional level. Frasier boasts an M. He earned his undergraduate degree in music from Harvard College [22 ] in Cambridge, Massachusetts , where he was on the men's rowing team. At the least, his German pronunciation is suspect; he pronounces Das Boot as if Boot were an English word.
An oversight occurs in a later episode when both Frasier and Niles, despite being wine lovers and able to speak French, fail to pronounce the name of Chateau Petrus , often considered the world's best wine, using the common American English pronunciation. In another episode of Cheers, Frasier understands Woody when he uses the Mandarin Chinese word for "doorknob". Frasier uses German as well in Cheers, defending Sam from a angry German whose wife was hitting on Sam.
Frasier's hobbies and talents include playing the piano, composing music, singing, gourmet cooking, chess, collecting fine art, antiquing, home decorating, reading, writing short stories and plays, enjoying fine dining, his wine club, and squash. In Cheers he is sometimes described as a psychologist , but this may have just been a mistake on the part of the characters. Frasier is indeed a psychiatrist. Frasier's overconfidence in his abilities is often exploited for comedic effect.
