Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaKelsey Grammer and Joe Mantegna both play long-running recurring characters on The Simpsons (1989). Grammer plays Sideshow Bob, Bart's psychotic archenemy, and Mantegna plays resident Springfield mob boss Fat Tony. As an amusing in-joke to "Frasier", David Hyde Pierce and John Mahoney have also appeared on the show as Cecil and Bob Terwilliger, Sr. - Sideshow Bob's brother and father, respectively.
- GoofsMartin says he has been trying to solve the murder of a prostitute that happened 20 years earlier. Later he says the murder occurred when Frasier was 12 years old. Frasier would have been much older than that at the time.
- Crazy creditsWhen the title "Frasier" (in blue letters) and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a red light blinks at the highest point of the Space Needle.

Featured review
A Sweet and Funny episode
Now, I don't believe in fighting, but I do believe in not running away and holding one's word, the premise of this episode.
It starts when Neils gives a paper to Fraiser and points out a critic that says he hates Fraiser Crane. Fraiser being Fraiser has to respond and asks for a point by point reason why. The critic does in the next paper, that Neils just happens to have and gives to Fraiser. This leads to Fraiser asking the critic to reveal himself, and he does on the radio show. Fraiser and the critic have a war of words, which results in a place and time that they will physically fight each other. Martin congrats his son but soon turns to sorrow when Fraiser says he was only using words and backs out. Martin scolds him for doing so, and accused him of running away.
The next day we see Fraiser changed his mind and ready to fight the guy. Martin shows up proud (the first time he has smiled since the series began), Fraiser goes outside and starts to fight the guy, when Martin pulls a sweet move.
A good episode that one must see.
