frasier - c/d s/d

OH THE IRONING

lol at Niles trying to fix the issue of seeing Daphne as a perfect woman, by telling her that her cooking is shite lol

mind you, he does get a shag from it

Saw the one recently where it's revealed (by Sarah Silverman) that Frasier has a habit of addressing his sexual partners mid-coitus as "M'Lady" - I was dying

so classic

Frasier: You know the expression "Living well is the best revenge?"
Niles: It's a wonderful expression. Just don't know how true it is. Don't see it turning up in a lot of opera plots. "Ludwig, maddened by the poisoning of his entire family, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act by living well."
Frasier: All right, Niles.
Niles: "Whereupon Woton, upon discovering his deception, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act again by living even better than the Duke."

Niles: What's the point of going to Switzerland without spending a day on the slopes? So, I ducked out of the conference, and who should I run into but Maris? She'd just flown in for her yearly goat-placenta treatments.

Frasier: Hmm... Good lord, is it placenta-treatment-time again, already?

Niles: We had a set-to on the slopes. She ran; I tried to follow her tracks in the snow but, alas, she made none.

i was just staring at a picture of david hyde pierce's face the other day and marveling at how much he does look like he could be kelsey grammer's brother

this show is so great

i always liked how maris was never seen, just like norm's wife from cheers

Just watched this episode with my gf, and we both laughed so much at the punchline at 0:29. Man, when this show was good, it was so good! I could spend hours just watching Niles and Frasier spar with each other.

Still love this show. Have been re-watching seasons 1-4 only recently and it's so consistent. When does it start to tail off? As I remember, the last few seasons are almost unwatchable.

it gets sappier as it goes on but even after niles and daphne get married there are occasional great episodes, including lots of unusually formalist farces.

or maybe that's not true. lifetime seems to run these randomly.

"A party thrown by whom? Caligula?"

Oh man, please tell me this is a real line uttered by Frasier.

Still waiting on an answer to this...

We watched all these recently, got halfway through series 10 and bottled it. Just couldn't take it anymore.

But yeah, first 4–5 years are remarkable.

Also, once on a plane ride I caught most of an episode of Frasier where part of the plot (I think) revolved around meeting a famous Dadaist artist, but I missed the name and so waited for like 3+ hours for the airline tv service to go through its cycle and repeat the episode, but it cut out right before it started.

It was a mystery until about 2 minutes ago, when I bothered to just look it up on google, and it turns out its not even a real person, just a made up name.

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
