    Starstruck

    Frasier pursues the lawyer in the most outrageous manner. When he finally comes to his senses things get ever weirder. This whole thing is really hard to swallow. He is getting off on all the celebrities that he is encountering. Not my favorite episode.

    • Goofs
      When Martin is looking for his television remote, he later decides that he will watch the game at Duke's. Unless he means Duke's residence, this isn't possible, because Duke's bar closed back in the second season's Duke's, We Hardly Knew Ye (1994).
    • Quotes

      Niles: Well, no wonder you're heartbroken. You've just lost the only woman you could ever possibly, sometime down the line, perhaps fall in love with. I'm surprised the country music people haven't jumped all over this one.

    • Crazy credits
      When the title "Frasier" (in yellow letters) and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a crescent moon rises in the sky.
