Don't know how F made history, but I think Maris' money came from the manufacture of urinal cakes (deodorizers).

Maris' family did make their money from Urinal cakes - which proved very useful for Niles in the divorce settlement!

As for the show making TV history, the only thing I can think of relates to Kelsey Grammer. He is now receiving record amounts for each episode (I can't remember how much, but I certainly wouldn't mind a piece of it!) and also he is the only actor to receive an award (again I can't remember which award) for playing the same character in 3 shows, Cheers, Wings and Frasier.

It should certainly go down in history though, as the best sitcom ever! (hey, who says I'm biased?!).

I'm almost positive it was the emmy he received for the 3 shows you mentioned.
