Trivia
The name of the bar is Mahoney's Taproom, a tribute to John Mahoney, who played Martin in the original series. It was established in 1940, the year of Mahoney's birth.

Goofs
Frasier spent eight years visiting the Cheers bar in Boston. It's hard to believe he wouldn't know how to pronounce Celtics properly.

Quotes
Dr. Frasier Crane: You know, I hate it when people quote me to me. It makes it so much harder to object.

Same moving moments.....

I've watched the original Frasier many times and was highly skeptical of a reboot. After being pleasantly surprised with the first three episodes I felt this 4th episode had the slowest start, borderline uninspired with the trivial pursuit. But I didn't realize it was just a portion of building the characters. I found the ending and the entire episode very moving and profound in the same ways that the original Frasier has always been. In that way it felt like such a great continuation of the Fraiser character, but in a new setting with new dynamics. Each week I am anticipating the next episode! Great work so far on this reboot.
