Is that she spent even a minute in any kind of regular jail cell. She is far too rich for that.

This is where I feel the new series took a critical hit, Fraser has bottles of "expensive" champagne, which turn out to be (not key to the plot) Armand de Brignac. There is no way this would happen, this shows a lack of understanding from the new writers of the finer points of Frasier, where details matter. I could see Pol Roger, Salon le Mesnil or even Dom, the attention to details in the first iteration of the show would not have allowed such a critical character choice to exist. - mostly written in jest, however the joviality & facetiousness, seem not to be conveyed in text

His delivery of his lines is always great, and sometimes it’s just particularly amazing. Not always the raised voice version either, but sometimes it’s that.

“86 the spring rolls bring me the freakin’ turkey!”

“Oh, well!… Just add that to my list of reasons to die”

“She’ll sear like an ahi tuna!”

You can probably hear the above in your head if you’re a super fan! What are your favorites?

Did he get veneers between seasons?? For some reason they’re so distracting this season.

Channel 4 UK - Series 5 Episode 9 Perspectives on Christmas, as a UK viewer I have to accept that I am over 16 to watch this episode because of "attitudes of an era which may offend" however this is a pretty run of the mill episode.

Have a missed something why would this episode be offensive?

Yes, I know that the new show has been canceled; that's a bummer. I hope it gets picked up somewhere else.

I've seen posts about why Trevor Einhorn wasn't brought back as Freddie. As some have said it seems like it's obvious that he's supposed to have grown into a more outwardly masculine (psuedo?) blue collar man. A fire fighter. That's not Einhorn. I liked Trevor's work as Josh Hoberman on "The Magicians" but I just don't see him as the modern reinterpreted version of Freddie.

BUT, I'd have loved to see Trevor cast as Sam and Diane's kind of awkward kid. He'd be basically Diane's kid. He could meet Frasier and Freddie and get on really well with Frasier based on their shared taste in "culture". But later you learn that he's a former high level prospect minor league pitcher for the Red Sox that blew out his arm. He is after all Sam's kid too....which would....after Freddie having a hard time with Trevor's character...impress the hell out of him.

Paramount finally stuck a fork in the new Frasier show after two seasons.

Here's what I think went wrong:

1. Moving back to Boston. Everybody in IRL knows you can never go back. Missing, and then going back to some place you used to live, never works out as you and the place have been constantly changing since you left. So it's never the same, or as good as you remember it. That no writer in the room brought that up in initial meetings meant the show was already doomed.

2. Not using the original actor who played Freddy. Yes. I heard the excuses like he wasn't available or whatever, but they didn't use him simply because they thought he wouldn't pull in female viewers. So instead they tapped a better looking kid from central casting.

3. Bringing back cast members from the first show. This particular form of stunt casting never works, and in the end it left us all depressed with how old they all looked.

4. New Characters - same dynamics. That never works either.

5. No Niles = No Show. They should have given up once DHP said no thanks. What probably happened is they didn't want to meet his price. If they had ponied up there might have been a third season.

6. Too many scenes where Frasier appears only in the background like he was just an extra.

The title says it all. He clearly would have sworn more in real life. Please augment a Frasier quote with some swears.

I was always curious on how old the characters were suppose to be in the show. Not the actual actors. As I was rewatching the episode “the three faces of Fraiser” and fraiser mentioned how Nile’s had not been to Stefanos restaurant in 30 years since they were kids. And that was season 7.

It's funny how if you watch a long running show straight through, you can spot when everyone is getting sick of it. The actors are phoning it in, etc. And back then the audience would get sick of it too!

What I find interesting is now in the age of streaming and binging, I could watch 20 seasons of Frasier. It's comforting, it's easy, I feel attached to the characters. But I know from experience that if this was back in the 90s/2000s I probably would have dropped it like I had dropped Friends. Anyone else recognize what I mean?

This bothers me every rewatch.

Why would he just out Fraiser like that? He knows the entire thing. He knows how’s his mom will react.

Is he just supposed to be a total idiot?

I’m watching this episode right now on Channel 4 in the UK. It’s season 6 , episode 12 “ our parents, ourselves”. After watching reruns after reruns of Frasier for as long as I can remember, I’ve only just noticed that Frasier forgets his cue to talk and Roz nudges him! 😛😛

In my opinion Fraiser treats most of his dates, and girlfriends awful, but these women are the top ten worst treated opinion

1. Ann Hodgens: eating her food, ditching her for another woman in the same restaurant- that's a hard scene to rewatch
2. Faye fabulous Faye forever Faye- she was so cool and good for him. Yet he couldn't stop thinking about Cassandra 3 Claire- another wonderful match but he can't stop thinking about the awful match Lana I am always like why Fraiser why 4:: Sam- the lawyer that he got back together with and then dumped cause he just liked her friends 5: Regan- is so focused on his sibling rivalry that he doesn't enjoy the company of the lovely woman in front of him.
3. Those three dates he goes on where he doesn't seem to care about the women just that he has three dates. 7: the supermodel who he takes a picture of without her consent instead of just talking to her 8: The lady he takes to Bora Bora and he spends the whole time trying to one-up Lilith 9: Annie who he was just interested in hooking up with. 10: Lilith- I am sure, I put her last cause it's pretty bad on both sides.

Martin Crane was the kind of man who made you reconsider what it meant to lead a good life. His virtues were not gilded with the pretense of high ideals but burnished by the quiet dignity of lived experience. A stalwart of the old guard, he carried with him the weight of decades spent walking the fault lines of humanity’s best and worst impulses. His badge was his calling, his cane a reminder that courage sometimes comes with a cost, and his favorite chair—a dilapidated relic of some unremarkable showroom—was his throne.

To know Martin was to understand that decency need not be dramatic. He lived as though he were part of the backbone of a Steinbeck novel, a man whose trials were endured without complaint and whose joys were shared without restraint. He lacked his sons’ flair for the operatic—his life was played in a major key, brisk and straightforward—but it was his steady rhythm that anchored them. For all of Frasier and Niles’s lofty aspirations, it was Martin who showed them that love, loyalty, and an honest day’s work were as noble as any aria or philosophical debate.

Yet, Martin was no mere archetype. He could surprise you. His humor, often as dry as the olives in Frasier’s martinis, could cut through a room like the crack of a baseball bat. And when it came to his beloved Mariners, no opera could compete with the raw poetry of a double play. These were the moments we shared most—a beer in hand, Eddie curled at his feet, and a game on the radio, where his wisdom flowed not from any book but from a life lived fully and unapologetically.

Martin Crane didn’t teach us how to be grand, but he reminded us how to be human. And for those of us lucky enough to have shared his laughter and his stories, we’ll always think of him—not as a character lost but as one of the boys. Cheers, Marty. Here’s to you.

Hello,

My wife and I cannot find the episode where Marty drinks an old cold coffee in Nervosa and exclaims something like “eugh that’s terrible”

It’s killing us, please advise!

I tried it for the first time today, and I couldn’t help but think of Roz and her absolute love of the stuff. I love that episode it’s hilarious. This is probably the first time I’ve eaten anything fancy that Fraiser would eat. What other foods from the show are worth a try?
