    Frasier

    This is one of those shows I absolutely love discussing. I’ve probably seen most episodes at least 3-4 times, and still it gets the biggest laughs out of me. My second favorite episode is a tie between “Four for the Seesaw” and “The Matchmaker.” My absolute favorite is below:




    “Bye bye, Berkins.”


    Now, let’s discuss the best spinoff series ever.

    Love the show. I even dare to say i like it better than seinfeld, as far as comic shows concerned.

    Despite being filmed inside a studio/set, it made want to visit Seattle so bad.

    I usually cannot stand a show with a laugh track, but this is one of the rare exceptions. So glad it's on Netflix.

    Agreed on The Matchmaker, I also love the ones where Frasier and Niles try working together in the restaurant and writing the book and the one where they end up in couples therapy. Even the later series had some classic episodes like the one with Derek Jacobi playing a shit actor

    LOVE Fraiser.

    Does anyone kind of think that the character Fraiser Crane was somewhat different on Cheers? On that show he was pompous, but could still relate and have a strong friendship with Sam, a blue collar, uneducated guy. And he could still shoot the shit with Norm, Cliff and Woody. The Fraiser on the show Fraiser would never spend his days at a bar like Cheers, he had his head so far up his own ass.

    Fun fact: I love Frasier, but don’t like Cheers. I can’t be alone in this.

    Frasier repeats are on every weekday morning so on the days I work from home I watch the show while eating breakfast. It’s a good way to start the day.

    Two of my favorite scenes:


    I was watching these clips of Grammer when he first appeared on Cheers, and can't believe he's 29/30.

    I watched the first two episodes of the Frasier reboot and rather enjoyed them. Although Kelsey Grammer is the only original cast member, one can see that they are going for the same dynamic as the original show. Frasier's son, Freddie, is a blue-collar firefighter and is essentially the new Martin. Fussy David Crane, son of Niles and Daphne, is the new Niles. Housemate Eve is the new Daphne and Harvard professor Olivia is the new Ross. Another new character, Alan, a Harvard colleague, makes for a good friend/sparring partner for Grammer. This could easily be terrible, but it works because the cast is good and the writing is sharp. I doubt the new Frasier is going to last 11 seasons like the original, but if you liked the first show, you will find a lot to like about the reboot. It's great to see Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Crane again.

    is Grammer a MAGA chud, or just a conservative?

    I know he's a Mit Romney fan, so I'd say just a conservative.

    He's a conservative, but I don't know his opinions on Trump. Frasier was never really political, so I don't mind/care. Although if he were MAGA I'd be disappointed.
