I am not sure about how genuine the edits by 129.12.200.49 are. They seem pretty drastic to me.

[edit] Varying accents of the Moon family

Frasier is much loved in the UK but the accents of the Moon family is a bete noire for us Brits. Jane Leeves's was first thought not to be English because of her exaggerated Manchester accent. The fact she was English came as a surprise. But Anthony LaPaglia and his mockney accent is excruciating. A fine actor - but keep to the American accents.

I have seen an interview with Jane Leeves where she claims that when she did a proper mancunien accent the producers asked her to change it so that the audience could understand her, it bares almost no relation to an actual manchester accent (i live right next to manchester). shouldn't this info be included?

There is an obvious continuity problem with the Moons. It is never explained why Anthony LaPaglia's 'Simon' has a South-East English Accent (poorly done, I might add), whilst Daphne and her Mother speak in a distinctly Northern dialect.

Don't think that the people on Fraiser didn't know what a true Manchester accent sounds like. In an epic coincidence, John Mahoney, who plays Martin Crane was born in Blackpool and raised in Manchester.68.147.253.67 22:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler Move

I moved the spoiler notice because the biography section refers to Niles and Daphne's marriage etc.

[edit] Season Discrepency

There were only 10 seasons of Frasier, yet the article counts 11. It also claims that, in the first episode of the 10th season, Daphne and Niles get married, which is untrue. I don't know what episode it is, but it must be in the 9th season (not yet released in the US). If someone is in the know, please correct this.

Check your facts. There are indeed 11 seasons of Frasier. The 11th season had a full 24 episodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RainnIceberg (talk • contribs) 07:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sept. 11, 2001

There's a reference to that date that needs a bit of elaboration: "In the first episode of Season 10, Daphne and Niles marry in a small, private ceremony in Reno, Nevada. In Season 11, they have their first child, David, in the final episode of the series, "Goodnight, Seattle". He is named after one of the show's producers who died on September 11, 2001."

I think it should say "died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001" if that's the case. Or it should specify how he died if there was some other cause. Also, including his surname would be helpful. Pha telegrapher (talk) 17:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Prince Charles

There's a passing (picture) reference to Prince Charles(?) in season 2 episode 17. Anybody think this is worthy of a mention? - Acq3 (talk) 22:17, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
