On Cheers, Frasier claims his father is dead. The Frasier writers explain him to simply have been mad at his father when the claim was made. Martin is a realistic man who detests Frasier's lifestyle and refuses to abandon certain pesky habits, such as a hideous easychair and his dog Eddie. Over the course of the show, Frasier and Martin develop a closer relationship and become more helpful towards each other.
