Was that real sherry Frasier and Niles were drinking on set, or was it just apple juice?

It was actually a light Madeira, and every mention of it being Sherry was a joke at the expense of the déclassé viewers.

Focus on other things to distract yourself, like when patrons in Cheers come in, order a drink, don't pay, don't drink it, and leave.

Was a bar tab a thing back then? I know The Simpsons did a number of jokes about patrons having bar tabs, but I have no idea whether that was still a thing into the 80s or if those were throwback jokes.

Bar tabs are still a thing in 2019 if you're regular at the right bars.

I was reading a news story recently about a bar shooting and bar tabs are illegal in some state I can't recall.

You can take that fact to the bank.

Frasier and Niles go to Le Cigare Volant and get to meet with Mabel about their meeting with the ghost. Mabel is surprised at the attention they have received. She explains that everyone who is close to Niles has been affected by an incident on their homeworld, and some of them have become possessed. They are worried about the fate of their children

I'm ashamed to admit I haven't finished Frasier.

Ex and I were going through it and broke up about season 8.

I think I need a fresh start, some season 1 hair is just what I need to kickstart my life back up.

True story: circa 2003 my neighbors were two cute girls and I had the hots for both of them and they invited me over to watch Frasier once and instead of saying yes I barely hid my disgust and said no thanks

My apartment didn't even have cable.

Powerful.

I was working as a waiter and 2 hot as gently caress girls complimented my car and asked for a ride back to a local campsite to hang out after their dinner.

I said I was already done and went home to play everquest.

Frasier used to play b2b also, so I had that going for me.

I wish they had Frasier novels. There were Psych novels, so I don't see why there aren't Frasier novels.

I don't know if situational comedy translates well to book form. I'd also like to point out that because of your post I now know there is a Psych movie I have not seen with another one on the way. So thank you.

They could just use the existing characters and make them solve mysteries, duh. Crane Boys Mysteries all grown up.

A Frasier novel would have to be written above the actual vocabulary level of the show in order to not feel dumbed down. People think of Frasier as a “smart show” but it’s actually just a very silly show with big words and waistcoats.

I mean it's a smart show but so was Cheers; the veneer of sophistication is unrelated.

In the interest of discussion, what made Frasier a “smart” show? The wine? The fancy objet de artes

I watched S1-8 in like 3 weeks and dropped off as soon as Niles & Daphne ruin everyone’s lives and weddings. I love the show but never really got the impression is was “smart” over the sense that it was a show “about smart people”.

The best gags in the show are DHP physical acting and comedic timing, Frazier’s delivery, Martin’s ancient dad wisdom, and Daphne’s white trash upbringing stories. I guess if “well-written” is interchangeable with “smart” I’ll concede the point but I wanna know what you think makes Frasier a “smart” show and not just the 90’s Big Bang Theory (a show about Smart People).
