frasier - c/d s/d

Frasier: I'm Dr. Frasier Crane, and this is my brother, Dr. Niles Crane, the eminent psychiatrist.

Niles: My brother is too kind. He was already eminent when my eminence was merely imminent.

big lolz every time i watch that scene.

just rewatching this

probably one of my favourite shows and on s03e06 (sleeping with the enemy)

starting at 22:05 and the bit where roz comes in with the punchline is hilarious (ending at 25:06)

LOL at "i'm going to get your 4% if i have to stay there all night"

s4e18 is peak ilx

its got ilx jargon
sock puppets
trolls
clusterfucks
a neurotic megalomaniac
and an unexpected lurker

halfway thru the entire thing and plot/subplots get a little repetitive

the show's quality really relies on the constant zings

s06e07

niles: oh the meat paste. well i threw it out. it smelled rancid
daphne: well thats the way it's supposed to smell. it's english

thatd be bovril obv

"The Two Mrs. Cranes," the farce where Daphne is pretending to be married to Niles, is one of my favorites. Especially when Martin willfully sabotages the whole charade by claiming to be an astronaut.

Clive: Daphne, I noticed in the phone book, your surname still is Moon.
Niles: That must be an old book. Now she hyphenates. It's Moon-Crane.
Martin: I remember the first time I ever drove a moon crane. I nearly rolled it into the Sea of Tranquility.

Show is great, but it really nosedives after Niles and Daphne get together. And the plots of those last few seasons are really dire... cool that it was on as long as Cheers, but it really limps to the finish line

xp lol

man they have such great lines

it's weird how i find myself watching just to hear martin come in with the punchline

niles too

but frasier seems to kind of fizzle out as the show progresses

nosedives after Niles and Daphne get together

And how.

ya when it was originally aired i never watched past season 6 or 7 i think, before they got together

and it was still p good at that point

has the frasierverse been discussed here yet

christ that is wild

Rozs char makes for the most wildest of stories

Maris was good for the first 20 seasons, but it really fell off sometime around season 24

MCTV

MCTV is a fan fiction spin-off based on the American sitcom Frasier. It follows a group of characters introduced in the fourth season of Maris, who work at MCTV, a television station owned by Maris Crane. Currently, there are 108 episode ideas, comprising 6 seasons.

a fan fiction spin-off, of a fan fiction spin-off, based on an unseen character

looking through the episode summaries for Maris it seems that Maris never actually appears onscreen? makes it even more impressive that they managed to wring 29 seasons from the concept imo

good lord

too "creative"

I'm also currently making my way through the show. Currently halfway through season three, did anything happen at that time? The tone changes, Frasier is off screen a lot. I've heard some stories... Anyway, just saw Moon Dance, the one where Niles and Daphne goes dancing at a fancy ball, and it's honestly a pretty amazing episode. There's a feeling of real hard won affection between the characters, and David Hyde Pierce is absolutely amazing. Frasier is on holiday.

haha that one was good

the innuendos just get better and better

Checked Kelsey Grammers wiki-page. Yeah, season 3, 95-96, seems to be the period where he kinda went off the rails. Honestly I was kinda surprised at the change, it felt as if everyone uses a lower tone of voice, and the stakes are much higher.

iirc, he was doing Down Periscope around the same time...wild times.

if 'niles and daphne have a segway for some reason' isn't tvtropes shorthand for a show's nadir, it should be

Martin: Come on, they're great guys: Stinky, Wolfman, Boom-Boom, Jim. Of course, his name's not really Jim; we call him that because he likes to drink Jim Beam. Just like we call Hank “Bud” because he drinks Budweiser. Come on, you'd love these guys!
Niles: We're sherry drinkers, Dad. Think about it.

Martin earnestly trying to sell his sons on something there's no way they could possibly like is always great, even though it happens about 80 times over the course of the show and you'd think he'd learn better

Martins the shit

Rewatching too.

Hate how most of the one-off characters are so cliche, to the point that I sometimes think it must be deliberate.

Though I do really like the newspaper sales guy who dislikes Frasier from the Focus Group episode.

last half of season 6 dragged on a bit for me

season 7 starts off good -- where he dates his mom (e01) and where carlos and the chicken (e03) make fun of him are classic

I just rewatched "Ham Radio," where Frasier directs a radio mystery. Gil is such a great character.

Gil Chesterton: [Frasier is still casting for his radio play Nightmare Inn] Oh, Frasier. I've had a quick peek at your script and I think I'd be perfect as Bull Kragen, the brutish gamekeeper.

Frasier: You know, Gil. I think that's just a bit too on the nose.

haha ya that's the one i mentioned above

some time in the first season there's a line about him being straight and the delivery is perfect

This was season 5, but:

Roz: We thought Deb was your cat.

Gil Chesterson: She is not a cat! She is Mrs. Gilbert Leslie Chesterton, a Sarah Lawrence graduate, and the owner of a very successful auto body repair shop. Honestly, the conclusions people make, just because a man dresses well and knows how to use a pastry bag!
[he exits]

Frasier: Well, that's the first time I've ever seen a man "in" himself.

haha i remember that one too

Getting through season 8 was a struggle

Spoilers

Halfway through is when niles and daphne finally start dating and it turns a bit soap operay

Season 9 starts out a bit boring, but you can tell they're trying to do something new, with the creative episode (forget which ep#), and frasier thinking about all his past relationships

Martin still remains the elusive one, but what motivated me to post is s09e04 is when he starts his security job and starts thinking about the day he got shot. Out of all the backstories this one struck a chord, as he reminds me of my grandad

S09e05

There once was a man frasier crane
Who says he can feel your pain
But he acts like a snob
To the guys at his job
And i think he's totally lame

I love the Motor Skills ep in season 8

Slowing rewatching this and I'm in early season 9, too. Shocking what a self-serious slog this show became somewhere around season 8. I remember a dip in quality but I didn't remember it being this harsh

watched this episode recently:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EqMG0t0vo6k/S8vhrIHgWjI/AAAAAAAAA6s/Av4Jb4aslaY/s1600/Ep28.jpg

decent enough early frasier.

Then i was on a plane and watched the episode "miss right now" from season 11 with jennifer tilly in it and it was god awful. daphne and niels together. frasier being emo about his love-life etc.

the first half of season 9 david hyde pierce (niles) has some major problems staying in character

he goes in and out of his mid-atlantic accent a lot and it's bizarre watching him just totally slack off as an actor

the dip into series 10 is especially stark because it's suddenly in hd. the pacing plummets just as the picture gets crisp, so you can really see those phoned-in performances in exquisite detail.

oh and frasiers ex with the man voice always wearing really REALLY short dresses was kind of wrong too.

lilith is hot as hell, hush your mouth

Angell and his wife, Lynn, were among the passengers of American Airlines Flight 11 killed in the September 11 attacks when the plane was hijacked by members of Al Qaeda and flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001.[1][4][5]

Coincidentally, a 1997 episode of Frasier titled "Odd Man Out" of season 4 episode 24 (an episode which Angell co-wrote) features a woman's voice, Linda Hamilton, on Dr. Frasier Crane's answering machine stating she will arrive into Sea-Tac Airport, though she does not actually say Sea-Tac airport, on American Airlines' Flight 11. The episode was first broadcast on May 27, 1997: 4 years and 3 months later, Angell and his wife perished aboard that same flight. Eerily, in the same episode a couple getting engaged in the same restaurant in which Frasier is dining alone, the man says to his fiancée that if they ever should die he hopes that it's at the same time so they wouldn't have to be apart.

That's horrible

Feel like seasons 2-4ish were the golden years? Just a feeling bc ive not rewatched them since this second time

S09e16 was a good ep after a while. Second half of s08 and first half of s09 are really bad but it's picking up steam again

Anyway this is the one where michael keaton guest stars as an invalid and after a life of decadence and charlatanry becomes a tv evangelist like persona. Probably one of the best episodes of the show

Season 1 is different, but really good in it's own way, imo. To me the golden years are 1-5 and the end is when the season finale for 5 for the first time ends on a cliffhanger. After that, it's much more broadly glotbased, and less about mood and character.

I enjoyed Frasier, but Cheers was so far superior a show.

keaton one was all time, def

Just watched that one too. That bit where Frasier stands up bleating like a sheep, haha
