Was Maris ever shown? What did she look like?
Based on the various descriptions of Maris and the fact that Niles used a skinny greyhound as a substitute when he was divorcing her, I can imagine her as being a very frail, pale, and malnourished white woman.

this was the only glimpse we were ever offered of her

I think the real joke is Maris is to Lilith as Niles is to Frasier.
>>87382822
Never shown. In my mind, an Anna Wintour type.

Maris was a hybrid joke of Lilith and Norm's unseen wife Vera from Cheers.
But there was definitely a bit of Niles' one-upmanship there. Fraiser married a skinny, snobby, bossy, pale woman so Niles married a skinnier, snobbier, bossier, paler woman.

Also, considering how the plot plays out with her dangling the divorce over him, Mel was a decent stand-in for Maris without ruining, as you said, the Vera joke of the series.
reunion when?

She used to be fat (over 300 pounds) but then went through an anorexic phase.

There really is no better brother casting in history.

Maris' shadow is seen in the cruise ship episode. Roz mistakes her for a coat rack until she starts moving.

We see Vera in the thanksgiving episode. She has pie on her face so you can't tell what she looks like but you see her entire body and her eyes. It ruined the joke.

Oh man, all three Crane men got cucked by their women.

Why did they reveal that Maris was actually Ros all along in that one episode, but never refer to that again.

Maris and Lilith aren't even friends, much less having a close bickering sibling relationship. In fact, Lilith made fun of Niles and Maris's marriage and Maris's vows in particular.
See literally the first Maris episode in Frasier season 1.
