This page will list the major events in the life of the Cranes and their friends.
Note: Some of the years have not been certified, they are merely guesses based on information from episodes of both Frasier and Cheers. Also, if a character says something "happened about 10 years ago", then I am assuming that it did happen exactly 10 years ago and that they were not just being general.
