I remember reading an article about Frasier when it was going off the air – a very sad obituary from a TV writer who said that Frasier was such a smart show, and it was for the Mensa set. And he gave an example, where he quoted some line about a woman that Frasier thinks is very mean and he says, Her idea of tough love is the Spanish Inquisition. And they thought that was very smart—just because he mentioned something from history.
