Line 8: ''But I don't know what to do'' ''With those tossed salads and scrambled eggs'' ''They're calling again''"~~\|'''[[Kelsey Grammer]]''', [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune\|closing theme]]}}~~ \|'''[[Kelsey Grammer]]''', [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune\|closing theme]]}} A [[Spin-Off]] of ''[[Cheers]]'', in which psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane ([[Kelsey Grammer]]) has moved back to his home town of Seattle to take a job as a radio shrink on KACL in order to put his life back together after his divorce from his wife Lilith. In the pilot, Frasier's father Martin (John Mahoney), a down-to-earth, blue-collar, easygoing man [[Averted Trope\|as different from]] [[Like Father, Like Son\|his pompous, stuffy, intellectual son as it is possible to be]], is forced to move in with Frasier following his retirement from the Seattle police force after being shot in the hip, providing the setting for the rest of the show. Line 770 ⟶ 771: * [[The Tell]]: Niles' nose bleeds when he's broken his ethical code. Likewise, when Frasier has knowingly broken his ethical code, he starts having attacks of nausea. * [[Temporary Substitute]]: Ties in with [[A Day in the Limelight]]. * [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: Perfectly understandable in a show featuring two psychiatrists. Frasier's declarations can become [[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|particularly epic]]. * [[That One Case]]: The Weeping Lotus Case. Solved by Martin, with "help" from Frasier and Daphne, during Season 2. * [[That Was Not a Dream]]. "Frasier Crane's Day Off". Daphne inverts, subverts ''and'' [[~~Lampshades~~lampshade]]s the Trope after Frasier raced to the studio in a fever and drug induced mania and made an utter fool of himself on the air (Roz: "Captain Kirk's got control of the bridge and he's gone insane.") When Frasier wakes up, Daphne reassures him it didn't happen and it was all a dream. {{quote\| '''Martin:''' Why'd you tell him it was a dream?'' '''Daphne:''' [[For the Evulz\|No fun telling him the truth now]], [[Victory Is Boring\|when he's all doped up]]. [[I Have You Now, My Pretty\|I'll wait till tomorrow morning]] - [[For Massive Damage\|when he's good and lucid.]]}} Line 782 ⟶ 783: {{quote\| '''Niles''': Who was that babe-o-rama?'' '''Frasier''': Niles, please don't try to be hip. You remind me of [[Bob Hope]] when he dresses up as [[Happy Days\|the Fonz]].}} * [[~~Touche~~Touché]]: "Well played, God." * [[Tsundere]]: Lana. * [[TV Genius]]: [[Depending on the Writer\|Depending on who wrote the episode]], can be subverted, averted or played straight. Line 882 ⟶ 883: {{reflist}} {{TV Guide's 50 Greatest}} [[Category:The Nineties]] [[Category:American Series]]
