[@briancox9357]

Agreed. I love it when Eddie buries his head under the cushion on the high note

[@Frankybroadcast]

My favorite line from Marty was when he, Niles, and Frasier had to pick up Daphne on the floor, and he says, "Daphne, I just thought of something funny: it took three Cranes to lift you!". I remember laughing so hard after that line, I was in tears. Lol

[@CyndiLarper]

Yeah n I love how Martin actually regrets it after he says it (should've made it in this video, sorry)

[@kumarg3598]

I was unaware of his passing. I loved his character and his acting ability. He really portrayed himself well as father to two sons who were obviously more like their mother than him. But he was the grounding force. Rest in Peace and Thank You for leaving such a great body of work in this series: Frasier.

[@gerardinecizmar]

He was the best. Thankfully, his great work on Frasier is preserved forever.

[@avi2578]

Seriously thank you for putting this video together. John Mahoney's Martin Crane was and still is one of my utmost favorite character of all time. Mr. Mahoney was such a great actor and I wish I had had the money to see him act on stage a few years back. What a missed chance that was. At least, he left us with his indelible mark on the screen. We love ya, John Mahoney!

i liked that part when he says "i am afraid the three of us doing it might be stupid" ... so funny! remarkable job!!! amazing cast

[@lesterhall5145]

He was among the best of us.

[@Chief24914]

Marty was a true soldier. Fought for his country, defended his city as a detective and raised 2 successful young men. He lost the love of his life and was man enough to stick by her despite her infidelity. Not to mention he took a bullet doing his job which cost him some of the joy of his golden years. It must be hard to have 2 boys who don’t share your interests at all like sports, and are essentially polar opposites of you. Nonetheless, he loved his boys no matter what and helped them immensely throughout the years. He also formed an amazing relationship with a young immigrant and recognized her value. Plus he snagged a girl 15 years younger than him. Marty was a true G. I would be proud as fuck to have Martin as my dad.

[@amd781]

[@manichairdo6346]

Thank you very much for this tribute. Martin, John was greatly loved. Brilliant actor and fabulous man.

[@AndrewChapman]

So sad John Mahoney is gone now. Martin sure had the best lines. Plus even though Frasier was the one who blurted out to Daphne how Niles truly feels about her in Season 7's "Back Talk", it was really Martin who got the ball rolling. The moment he said "I've kept my mouth shut for 6 years, I'm not saying anything now.", there was clearly no turning back (even though Daphne thought it was Frasier who had feelings for her).

Martin Crane's character was so wonderfully played by John Mahoney that in serious scenes, you could feel his fatherly take, and on the hilarious bits, he was impeccable.

[@ianmccown]

My favorite moment with Martin was when Frasier had to use a cane for a little while, and Martin and Frasier ran into each other 😂

[@melissaluz1807]

Thanks for doing that. I'm not an English speaker, but since Brazil I'm crazy about Frasier. Now I'm living abroad, where I can watch the show on tv. What a privilege! His death was very painful for me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

[@johnnychinstrap]

Thank you for posting. I am moved by the production number. I like the quasi tecumseh statue in the corner. We had a neighbourhood bar that had the same statue at the front door as a tribute to Cheers. Thursday night was Frasier then the Red Hot Chilli Pepper Bar to meet the boys. That statue was an icon during the 30 best years of my life. The tribute in the production number was beautiful. FYI I would jokingly tap the Peppers tecumseh statue on the head when leaving for good luck. The boys and girls would meet at the Pepper every grape and wine festival and reminisce about the days of glory. Unfortunate that legend came to an end a few years ago too. I can honestly say I no longer remember everybody's name but i still see a lot of the old faces. Marty was also my favourite character. He kept the bar in Frazier.

[@joyleonberger8814]

Thank you for this!

[@GaiaCarney]

[@gingaddict]

One of my favourite Marty moments is when Frasier pretends to divorced from Maris so Niles can pretend he's married to Daphne and he replies 'You couldn't stand either, huh?' It was so funny, even Frasier laughed!

[@CyndiLarper]

Yes! That def goes into the next one

I just watched an episode of Cheers where Frasier tells the guys that his father was a scientist who was always busy in the lab with his experiments and who died before Frasier could tell him he decided to study psychiatry.

[@ajk]

The best part about this (and this belonged here too come to think of it even if it tied to Frasier more), is when Ted Danson made a guest appearance as Sam in Season 2, they call back to this when they get to talking about him (Marty). The dialogue back and forth between Marty and Frasier in that scene is priceless. "Frasier said you were a scientist." (Marty looks at Frasier incredulously) "You were dead what did it matter?!" Only thing that woulda made that scene better is if they somehow incorporated the Sly character John played into it too. But a classic scene all the same.

[@cugamer8862]

There's talk of bringing the show back and letting us know what's going on in the Crane family and five years ago I would have wanted nothing more. Now, I don't know. I have a hard time thinking it could be what it was without John Mahoney.
