Frasier: Crock Tales

« prev episode next » episode

As Frasier prepares for a dinner party, he considers throwing away an old broken crock pot. However, the crock pot stirs many memories of past experiences with his friends and family. Among the times he recalls are getting accidentally super-glued to a blind date after Martin tried to repair the pot; a birthday party for Roz that found Niles and Daphne feeling especially amorous; a Fourth of July in which Frasier, Niles, Daphne and Roz got locked out on the balcony; a Thanksgiving when everyone seemed to be down on his or her luck (and Roz was working as a phone sex operator); and a dinner party shortly after his arrival in Seattle. Frasier realizes that the pot has sentimental value and decides to hold on to it. Add a recap »

(It is the 1993 flashback and Daphne, new to the Crane household is just coming from her room)
Daphne: I just found out what that second toilet in me loo is for (laughs) -- talk about a shock!

As we know from Season 2's "Daphne's Room" (when Eddie is drinking from her toilet), Daphne doesn't have a "second toilet" (bidet) in her bathroom. Even Frasier doesn't have a bidet, as we see in Season 2's "Seat of Power". edit »
Daphne says that at her "Ugly American Party", among other things, they will "...not use the metric system". Today, there remain only three countries in the world that have not adopted the metric system: the USA, Liberia and Myanmar (Burma). edit »
In the 1998 flashback Martin told Roz that Niles was going to tell Daphne about his feelings for her, however Roz didn't find out about Niles' feelings, in the episode "Decoys" which was in 1999, after Daphne had started dating Donny. edit »
The wigs for Daphne and Roz are clearly fake, as they decided to use hairstyles that the characters never wore in the previous shows. edit »
In the last flashback (1993), which occurs within the episode "Dinner at Eight", Roz meets Martin, but they didn't meet until the episode "The Crucible". edit »

The Kriezel brothers seen in Season 2's "Seat of Power" are mentioned in this episode. edit »
Rosie Perez also voiced the caller Francesca in season 2's "Roz in the Doghouse". edit »
This episode recreates Daphne and Roz's old hairstyles with wigs, as well as changing Niles' and Frasier's. It also put back many of the original decor pieces in Frasier's apartment. edit »

Niles: Who knew my sorrows would be such strong swimmers?
