Dr. Mary Returns

Frasier gets his childhood wish when he is able to be the cohost for a big Christmas parade in Seattle. He is giddy. But he is told that Mary, the one that temporarily worked with him on the air, will be joining him. She is a flamboyant black woman who is quite demonstrative. Things begin to go south when she takes over and Frasier begins to act like a child.

Trivia
The "Bob Vernon" character is based on an actual radio broadcaster by the same name. Bob Vernon did afternoon drive-time radio in the 1970s on WGAR in Cleveland and WNBC in New York City. (On NBC he referred to himself as "Vernon with a V.") The character name appearance on "Frasier" was a tribute to Bob Vernon from a "Frasier"' producer to whom Bob had given encouragement early in his career.

Goofs
The reference to the flag should be half staff not half mast- staff is on land, mast is on a ship (non-military people almost always get this wrong).

Quotes
Dr. Frasier Crane: [Niles enters, carrying a gift] Niles.
[laughs]
Dr. Frasier Crane: I hope you had the presence of mind to bring presents of mine!
Dr. Niles Crane: [Insincerely laughs, tired of the joke] I haven't heard that line since last year!

Crazy credits
When the title "Frasier" is on screen, in the usual accompanying silhouette of Seattle The Space Needle has a Christmas tree star at its top and is decorated with colored lights hanging from wires.
