Fans of the popular sitcom Frasier were recently taken aback by a major error that was spotted in one of the episodes. The beloved show, which began as a spin-off of Cheers, follows the life of psychiatrist Frasier Crane as he returns to his hometown of Seattle and reconnects with his brother Niles and father Martin. It originally aired for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004 and is currently being rerun on weekdays in the UK. Last year, a revival of the show premiered on Paramount +.
During a rewatch, a fan noticed that Frasier may have forgotten about the birth of his son, Frederick 'Freddy' Crane, in an episode where he helps a cab driver deliver her own child. The episode, titled "Flour Child," aired in 1994 and showed Frasier, Niles, and Martin in a taxi when the driver suddenly goes into labor. The trio quickly jumps into action, with Frasier trying to comfort the mother-to-be in his own unique way. However, in the midst of all the chaos, Frasier fails to mention that his ex-wife Lilith had also given birth to their son in a similar situation.
The fan, Carolyn J Mills, took to a Frasier fan group on Facebook to share her observation, writing, "In the episode where Frasier, Niles and Martin are in the cab and the taxi driver goes into labor and they take turns helping her deliver the baby, Frasier says, 'A lot of great babies were born in cabs - Cab Calloway comes to mind.' He forgot his own son was also born in a cab." Other fans joined in on the discussion, expressing their surprise and pointing out that it was a missed opportunity for a throwback moment.
Freddy's birth actually occurred off-screen in an episode of Cheers, where Lilith went into labor in a cab on her way back from the hospital. She even joked about her feet accidentally opening the back door into traffic while she was pushing. However, Frasier's absence during such an important moment in their lives left him feeling devastated and full of regret. But Lilith, being the understanding person she is, reassured him that now was not the time for reproaches.
Freddy appeared in multiple episodes of Cheers and later in Frasier, but was played by different actors throughout the years. Trevor Einhorn portrayed the character for the majority of the original series, while Jack Cutmore-Scott currently plays him in the revival. Despite the error, Frasier remains a beloved and highly acclaimed series that continues to entertain fans all over the world.
