The apartment-owners can't complain or object to her decisions, as their terms of residence grant these powers to their local HOA-equivalent. Frasier resorts to getting his father to stand for election to her position, when the chance is offered.

* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The majority of the episodes have this structure. Typically, there's the main A plot and the secondary B plot, one of them focusing on Frasier and the other on one of the four other major characters. The main plot isn't necessarily about Frasier, though: Niles especially gets plenty of A plots as his character becomes more rounded. One episode ("Death and the Dog", Season 4) hanging a lampshade on it. The events of the episode are being told as a WholeEpisodeFlashback to a caller, and Roz wonders why Frasier is telling the caller about her date in the episode.

** Although he doesn't stay with Frasier, in "The Show Where Woody Shows Up" Woody from ''Series/{{Cheers}}'' becomes something like this. After they meet by coincidence and have a wonderful evening catching up and reminiscing, Frasier gradually realises after spending more time with Woody that the two don't really have anything in common and finds their increasingly frequent hang-outs ever more tortuous, but doesn't want to hurt Woody's feelings by admitting it. It's played with, however, since Woody ends up admitting that ''he'' basically feels exactly the same way about the situation, only he thought that ''Frasier'' was the one enjoying himself and didn't want to hurt ''his'' feelings. The two basically end up acknowledging that they had a great time that first night (but ''only'' that first night) and decide to part ways, maybe to catch up "in another ten years or so."
