* In the third season episode "Look Before You Leap," Frasier and his producer Roz Doyle are volunteering at a PBS pledge drive.

Do you have your mommy's credit card handy?"
* In the seventh season episode "The Dog That Rocks the Cradle," Alice's playthings include Elmo and Cookie Monster dolls.
* In the seventh season episode "The Dark Side of the Moon," Daphne complains she is overworked, saying that her boss, Frasier, "keeps her in stitches," to which he responds "Wocka Wocka!"
