Kara Kovalchik<\/strong> presents 18 Things You Might Not Know About Frasier<\/em>.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regular readers know the drill: using just Kovalchik<\/strong>‘s<\/strong> list, here are my three favorite facts…<\/p>\n

\n

7. THE FIRST CUT OF THE PILOT WAS SIX MINUTES TOO LONG.<\/h1>\n

After seven passes, it still came in sixty seconds more than it should and the creative team decided they couldn\u2019t cut any more. NBC agreed and said they would find the extra time\u2014not by cutting a commercial, but by taking 15 seconds from the other 4 shows on that night.<\/p>\n

17. KELSEY GRAMMER PLAYED FRASIER FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME …<\/h1>\n

Counting the time he spent on Cheers<\/em>, Kelsey Grammer played the character of Frasier Crane in prime time for 20 consecutive years, a record TV-land hadn\u2019t seen since James Arness played Marshall Dillon on Gunsmoke<\/em> for the same length of time. Grammer’s publicist invited Arness to join Kelsey on The Today Show<\/em> in 2004, but according to Grammer, Arness rejected the idea with a brief expletive that rhymes with \u201cduck shoe.\u201d<\/p>\n

18. … AND HE’S THE FIRST AMERICAN ACTOR TO BE NOMINATED FOR THE SAME CHARACTER ON THREE DIFFERENT SERIES.<\/h1>\n

Cheers<\/em> and Frasier<\/em> are obvious, but Frasier Crane also made an Emmy-nominated guest appearance on Wings<\/em>.<\/p>\n
