Now this is a very unknown thing, and it was a real surprise when someone finally noticed it. In Episode 9 of Season 3 of Frasier
The main box is seen several times from a few different angles, and is situated next to a stack of Super NES boxes. This was the 1995-1996 season, which coincides with EB’s release exactly. I don’t know how long it takes to make an episode of a TV show, but since Episode 9 aired in December 1995, it must’ve been recorded not too long after the game was released.
It’s pretty rare for EB to get any kind of recognition or even any kind of cameo in anything, so this is pretty cool. The fact it’s something that’s secretly existed for all this time makes it even neater somehow. I checked for the episode on YouTube (see 5:30), but the quality’s so bad you can barely see anything. If someone can get a better version of this clip, please do so and let me know so I can post it here sometime!
Thanks go to Super Starman Deluxe for the sighting and for the pic 
UPDATE: The video got taken down, so check out this one.

And just think… if not for the giant box, this most likely never would have happened.

Definitely one of the coolest finds we’ve got.

Wow, nice

I wonder if there was an EB fan in the crew, or if the set decorater just said “Hey, look, it’s Nintendo, big and colourful, that’ll do.”

Yuck Frasier. Seriously, who watches this crap?

Alright, I’ve sent this to Tomato as well but I figure I’ll post it here too: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=fq2wRUBclmU that’s the full clip in which the box can be seen. Click Watch In high Quality for maximum enjoyment (and quality fairly close to that of the full size clip.)

How the hell do people even notice these hidden earthbound things that are shown on TV for less than a second lol.
 | Mato said on Jan. 20, 2009 |
Actually, it’s not for a second in this case, it’s a good 3 minute scene at least, and it appears all throughout it. In fact, one of the store clerks (or someone) picks up the box, looks at it, and puts it back

Unfortunately, I guess that happened in real life.

Did you notice the other video game box that found its way into this segment?

I don’t know why I didn’t notice the EB reference sooner. My mom has all the DVDs and watches them pretty frequently.
I also remember seeing SNES boxes in an episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun in which I did keep an eye out for an EB box, but didn’t see it.

I knew Fraiser was an intelligent show.

| Leirin said on Jan. 22, 2009 |
That’s just awesome. I’ve never heard of the show, buuut… Earthbound sneaking into the public eye (even if it was well over a decade ago ) is still neat!

Everyone speculating whether Kelsey Grammar is a secret Earthbound fan or whatever:
It was product placement.

| Drowzee64 said on Feb. 11, 2009 |
Probably product placement.

I’ll be watching Frasier reruns just to see if I can spot it. What episode is it?
 | scottiemac said on May. 20, 2009 |
I knew there was a reason I watch the reruns…
