This thread inspired me to finish Frasier and give some other older sitcoms a shot.

I am loving The Mary Tyler Moore Show right now.

How wealthy was Frasier that he was out of a job for months, kept up his lavish lifestyle and still managed to lend Roz money like it was no thing
(Also $1500 was apparently enough to tide Roz over for three months)

it was/is possible to make ridic money in radio as a popular host; a 7 figure salary wouldn't be inconceivable for a man popular enough to have his own day - top dudes like stern still have an 8 figure salary from sirius for e.g. tho usually you need to be in politics, money or comedy to have broad enough appeal

Exploration is ill-advised.
There are eps where Frasier has investments going on on the side, and he has been a practicing psychiatrist for years.

Kinda funny though given I'm up to where Niles' divorce is getting official and he has to move into a (still pretty nice) cheap apartment and it freaks him out.

Frasier was making like $200-$300 an hour for like a decade on Cheers before he moved to Seattle, and that was in the 80's when that was a ludicrous amount of money for anyone to be making.

Yeah but wasn't that in private practice though, like that's what he billed patients or their insurers. He wasn't just pulling in 2k a day for 8 hours punched in & out of the clock.

He probably saw a handful of patients weekly or something, I thought Lilith was presented as earning more than him in Cheers.

I mean if you have 3-4 clients a day, that's still barely "part-time" but still clearing a grand a day.

Frasier was almost certainly the best at making rich motherfuckers feel better about themselves, with zero self awareness.

in le cigar volant, frasier books the table for Dr Pleasure Dinosaur

and he gets pissy when they don't have his table when he says his name is Dr Frasier Crane

I thought there was some backstory in one of the episodes or maybe even Cheers that Fraiser had made some investments with his private practice money that really paid off.

Intercept that Valet with Roz, who has put back on weight and is pretending to be pregnant again because she misses the special treatment. I cast Martin's long side eye so Niles HAS to give it up.

One of my favorite gags is when Niles and Frasier were meeting at Cafe Nervosa and much to their dismay they were wearing the exact same suit and shoes. I like to think the actors weren't aware of this and wardrobe played a joke on them and they just rolled with it

She's the worst. I'm watching the episode where she has a prank war with the least charismatic child actor in history and it's just awful

Roz was too good for Frasier. She's the secret main character of the show.
