c5: Nancy Marchand, though other actresses have played the role in flashback episodes of Frasier.
dm1: In addition to Robin’s place, she and Sam were trapped at Cliff’s place (where they could listen all night to him making up words that you could sort-of find in “Cliff Clavin”, like “anvil”). This was after he locked himself out of the bar and she locked herself out of her apartment.
dm6: You’re not thinking of Fred Dryer, are you? I think he played football.
5tc1: Cool Hand Luke
5tc3: Jacqueline Bisset. The man with whom he’d made the wager was a pre-Seinfeld (as well as pre-racism rant) Michael Richards.
5tc5: “Guy” (rhymes with she), but everybody called him Eddie.
c4: I can only remember 7 of Carla’s eight children. Anthony, Serafina, Anne-Marie and Gino which I think are the four she had when the show started. Then comes the one whose name I don’t remember, but I think it was a girl, sired by her ex-husband Nick in a moment of weakness. She tried to trick a nerdy guy named Marshall into thinking that he was the father. Then Ludlow, fathered by Frasier’s mentor Dr. Ludlow, and finally the twins Jesse & Elvis by Eddie LeBeck.
dm10. When Sam speaks to Woody’s mother on the phone, what word does he say to her that she thinks is profanity?
I love that episode. Woody explained to his mother that the love letters from Robin Colcorde to his mistress that were published in the paper were fakes, because Robin didn’t have that font. She assumed “font” was a bad word and made him wash his mouth out with soap.
5tc 2 What NBA star played for Sam’s basketball team?
Kevin McHale if I recall correctly.
5tc 4 Carla was always messing with Cliff’s head, what song did she claim would melt Diane’s heart?
“Look at me, I’m as helpless as a kitten in a tree?”
dm6. The ballplayer is Al Rosen, who played for the Cleveland Indians for ten seasons after World War II. He later became a general manager for at least one American League team. (His name regularly appears in the cast credits.)
dm9. The words are, “Sometimes you want to go…”
Here’s another series of questions about characters’ kinfiolk.
What connection did these characters have with the story line:
dm11. Norm’s wife?
dm12. Cliff’s father?
dm13. Rebecca’s sister?
dm14. Frasier’s mother?
dm15. Carla’s eldest son?
dm16. Woody’s father?
and a few assorted trivia questions:
dm17. True or false: Norm, Cliff, and Sam did parachute out of the airplane.
dm18. In the episode where Frederick–Frasier and Lilith’s baby son–has his “bris”–whom or what does Frasier carry out of the poolroom?
dm19. In the episode where Lilith gives birth (on the same day of the Cheers centennial), Sam is irritated by a barbershop quarter singing “Wait 'Til the Sun Shines Nellie.” What happens to them at the end?
dm20. In an opening shot. Frasier keeps resetting the motion alarm on his car before crossing the street to Cheers. Why does the alarm keep going off?
No, I’m pretty sure that’s the begining of the chorus. The song begins with:
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you got.
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Aside from being the source of endless jokes, she worked briefly for Melville’s, the restaurant above Cheers.
Showed up once, dispelling Cliff’s long-held romantic ideas that his absent father was an international spy or something, was on the run from the law for real estate fraud.
Former Miss San Diego and aspiring actress. Participated in an elaborate practical joke aimed at Sam.
Didn’t like Diane, threatened to whack her if she didn’t break off the engagement to Frasier.
Knocked up Annie good.
True, though the pilot had to fake engine trouble to “encourage” Cliff.
It’s not made clear; they’re practicing in the pool room, Sam heads back there, the scene goes to blackout and the song is interrupted by a startled whoop of some kind.
Norm, hiding of the far side of the car, keeps pulling the driver’s door latch, while Cliff looks on in amusement.
Re C9: Who did Sam briefly sell his Corvette to? Wasn’t it Woody?
W1: In that episode, what kind of car did Sam buy? And what was the color (according to him)?
W2: When Sam admitted to Woody that he was an alcoholic who “Drank myself out of baseball and a marriage”, why was Woody so incredulous?
W2: How did Sam get the Cuban cigars in the last episode? And what was Carla’s comment?
W3: Also final episode–fill in the blanks:
Rebecca: "I went for (blank) and ended up with (blank).
W4: What imitation meat did Norm try at The Hungry Heifer? And what imitation seafood did he say you should never try?
W5: On the first Lilith episode, something happened to Frazier during his TV appearance with Lilith. According to Sam, what was it (more or less exact quote, please)?
W6: Who played Cliff’s postal worker girlfriend? And what did she do after they were caught violating Postal Service rules?
I thought the Hungry Heifer’s specialty with the synthetic “baff” and, when Cliff started to walk away in disgust, Norm yelled “Hey, you hear me complaining about the loobster?” He wasn’t warning people away from it, he was actually implying it was acceptable.
