Frasier’s back problems plague him in his twilight years so Freddy hires a live in male masseuse to help his father. One of Niles and Daphne’s kids ends up falling for him but they don’t act on their feelings because they’re already in a Maris-esque relationship.

The masseuse could have a lot of wacky stories because they are from a big family in a small town in rural Australia.

Old Frasier is retired from radio, but now does a podcast that is basically the exact same show.

Meanwhile Niles posts actually informative psychology videos to his YouTube channel but they do pitiful numbers compared to Frasier's podcast.

I always found it interesting that Niles is an actual respected psychiatrist that frequently publishes, presents at conferences, receives awards, etc but he still feels inferior to Frasier because of AM-radio “celebrity”

He was also attached to two crusty-rear end rich chicks so he should have had a bunch of access (but probably the New Money Working Money stink).

Funny thing is Niles is actually the go-to fill-in for Frasier when he's absent, to the point where the episode where Frasier is sick and gets hosed up on prescription pills have him have paranoid fantasies of being replaced. Niles is too neurotic to do the same job long-term though, I think.

Niles is pretty much the trophy husband that Frasier almost ended up being.

If Marty is out of the show I want it to be not because his character died, but because he eventually developed feelings for that lovely man from the opera and they're now living happily together in Florida.

If I'm remembering correctly, Niles was much better at the job than Frasier. From a therapy point of view, he was actually helping the couple he was talking to. From a radio point of view, listening to him counsel that couple would have been far more interesting than Frasier's normal "Oh, you don't like your husband? Maybe leave him, I dunno."

Niles was almost always shown to be more competent at nearly everything than Frasier.

- wine tasting
- psychology
- IQ tests
- bagging rich women

Dude just had Frasier's number and his inferiority complex is probably what drove him to be so accomplished.

Frasier would recommend counseling before divorce, unless it was an obviously toxic marriage. He does as much when that ultra conservative lady joins the station and starts giving advice to Frasier’s callers.

Also, in the Frasier reboot he has a cat named Marty.

Daphne is convinced she's getting messages from Martin on the other side in the reboot. Misfortune always befalls Frasier every time he tries to get rid of The Chair.

Holy poo poo this video interview with the Grams is way more in depth than what I posted recently and the dude says way more specific things about a reboot.

"Revelations" from the aging, drug-addled comedy star that should definitely be taken with a big grain of salt:

1. New Frasier series will start filming as early as next Spring
2. It will not take place in Seattle
3. Frasier is still trying to get laid

He would have been written into Cheers anyway, just the actor would have been different. The overall portrayal (stuffy intellectual) would have been largely the same.

But he would have been a guest star as originally intended instead of being added to the main cast and later given his own show off the strength of Kelsey's performances

Suddenly Chewbacca throws up his hands and lets out with one
of his ear-piercing howls. He grabs Han's laser rifle.

HAN
Look out! He's loose!

LUKE
He's going to pull us all apart.

HAN
Go get him!

The startled guards are momentarily dumbfounded. Luke and
Han have already pulled out their laser pistols and are
blasting away at the terrifying Wookiee. Their barrage of
laserfire misses Chewbacca, but hits the camera eyes, laser
gate controls, and the Imperial guards. The officer is the
last of the guards to fall under the laserfire just as he is
about to push the alarm system. Han rushes to the comlink
system, which is screeching questions about what is going
on. He quickly checks the computer readout.

HAN
We've got to find out which cell
this princess of yours is in. Here
it is... cell twenty-one-eight-seven.
You go get her. I'll hold them here.

Luke races down one of the cell corridors. Han speaks into
the buzzing comlink.

Ferguson was great but a part of that episode bloody infuriates me. When he and Daphne are having a chat in the kitchen and they both pronounce 'status' as 'stattus', I can promise that no british person has ever said that and wouldn't say it in a million years, why the gently caress the actors went through with it I don't know, surely they must have brought it up with the director? It's not as if the american audience would be confused by the word being pronounced like that, I'm sure millions of them say it like a normal loving person. :argh:

When British and American writing and acting get smooshed together, you get weird things like this, or people saying people or things are "meant to" be in one place or another instead of the American "supposed to," etc. I think I heard an American actor say the word "spinner" in GTA V once

It doesn't help that people do this in real life too, since you've got generations of people around the world raised on American pop culture.

I'm sorry to be terribly british here but absolutely nothing in this post makes sense to me? Brits always say "supposed to" and never "meant to" and "spinner"? idk. "car ports" are not common and usually consist of a sheet of corrugated plastic on top of a wood frame built by an old person who doesn't have a garage. I have no idea what you're trying to convey here. :shrug:
