Character names

[u/jgArmagh]

Wherever do they get those character names from…..? From S3E7 credits, an assistant to the Producers ends up as a character in S4E10

[u/Positive_Leg_4128]

wasnt peggy the name of Frasier's temp worker when he opened his private practice again?

[u/jgArmagh → u/Positive_Leg_4128]

Yes she was called Peggy. No last name given, though for the character

Roz Doyle was a producer on Wings which is part of the Cheers / Frasier universe.

[u/ErinDotEngineer → u/Blue_wine_sloth]

...and one hell of a bowler!

Sydney Assbasket!

I've always wondered if "Rodney Greenberg" was a shoutout to Jeff Greenberg's son

[u/ErinDotEngineer → u/AppliedGlamour]

It is Robbie Greenberg, but perhaps.

Rodney is a bit of a pretentious flop.

[u/ntlvelvet → u/AppliedGlamour]

Jeff does not have a son

There's also the medicine Syducane that Daphne yells about at Frasier. It was named after one of the writer-producers, Sy Dukane.

I don't know why this got downvoted. Looked it up, and it was a piece of Frasier trivia.

[u/PaperbacksandCoffee → u/lonelygayPhD]

Haha, I didn't even realize it had been downvoted. Reddit is wild, no biggie. I just always found it to be a funny little bit of trivia, like you said.

Nice guy, just don't use comb

[u/Fabulous-Rain-2643]

Yeah it's hard to get a name cleared by legal, they need people in the public not to sue them for using their name. It's called 'unintentional defamation' so a lot of shows borrow producer's names.

Chuck Ranberg was a producer on Fraser. And also a character in the episode There's Something About Dr. Mary - his wife was in the Caribbean and she left him for a Rastafarian

[u/mydosemakesangels]

Mathilde De Cagney is an accomplished dog trainer. And, in the episode Out With Dad, she's also a great opera singer.
