Is Dr. Mary Based or Inspired by Talk Show Radio Host, Dr. Laura?
In the TV series Frasier, a character Dr. Mary (Kim Coles) featured in two episodes, Something About Dr. Mary (7.16) and the season 8 Christmas episode, Mary Christmas (8.08), is a somewhat loadmouth talkshow radio host that is very popular and gets on Frasier's nerves. Is the character at all fashioned after or a satirical portrayal of the [at the time] famous Dr. Laura or another famous radio talk show host?
Best Answer
If you refer to Dr. Laura Schlessinger, then probably not, seeing as she was parodied by the one-shot character Dr. Nora (played by Christine Baranski) from the episode of the same name.
