It's Maris, she's been a terrible dietary influence; she's been insatiable, and just packing on the ounces. The other day I noticed an umbra in her shadow for the first time.

I guess what's interesting about Frasier is how it had to obscure the particulars of how labor relations and property ownership worked any time came up.

Like the episode where Frasier tries to take on his condo association and Roz relates by claiming that she hounded her COA into replacing her disposal. Most condo ownerships (certainly in the Seattle area) are studs-in ownership and I doubt a disposal would be eligible for replacement under protection of the condo association.

One of the few things I won't ever defend the series for is how loving hard they are on Roz. She's absolutely smarter than Frasier or Niles or perhaps even Martin. She's been through some real poo poo. She's good at her job. And goddamn they never let up on her for liking sex and living her life.

She kinda got caught in that weird, intermediary "women have equal rights, which is one more thing we can make fun of them for" period in the 90s.

Which ended up bubbling into the in-retrospect frothing misogyny of the 00s.

Given the executives literally mandated that Roz had to get pregnant from being sexually active, I imagine a lot of that was similarly enforced.

At the same time they sent Daphne to fat camp when her actual real life pregnancy got in the way.

I just noticed in the two parter episode where he lines up three dates in three days, he habitually pours drinks for his dates before they even arrive.

They spent so much time testing out "Frasier as a boyfriend" only to realize "Frasier an incel" is way way way funnier.

Very common sitcom thing where characters who complain the most about not being able to get laid get more dates than some shows' supposed Casanovas.

In this episode Niles has a cell phone with two lines for a visual gag with Frasier.

On the one hand, I don't like my Frasier Immersion being ruined by pesky technological facts but on the other hand, Frasier and Niles arguing over the phone 10' away from one another is funny.

Truly, what is a boy to do?

I enjoy how Frasier is simultaneously the most easily recognized celebrity in all of 1996 Seattle and also just Some Guy when it's convenient for the gag.

Came up in the Simpsons thread where Krusty the Clown varies from world-famous merchandising juggernaut to struggling local act depending on the episode, also somewhat canonically. (I remember an official guide book saying Krusty's career has seen 'very high highs and very low lows'.)

Gotta suspend some disbelief anyway, the kind of call-in talk radio that Frasier does was already an anachronism by the 90s.

It's sort of unbelievable that anyone would recognize an am talk radio host for a call-in psychiatry show based on his face alone.

I watched the Frasier Crane Day episode again today and reveled in the fact that even in painfully new loafers he could have just walked to his rally.

It's a job that gives him a well known reputation, good pay and lots of free time, of course. It does seem implied that he just does it as something to keep him active, as he and Niles are both shown to be some degree of independently wealthy and have investments outside of their day jobs; when Frasier gets laid off he doesn't seem to have any real trouble with money, just depression.

On the other hand, Niles and Maris have probably one of the most realistic divorces shown on TV, especially for a wealthy dysfunctional couple. (not that the whole relationship arc doesn't start to get ridiculous towards the end, I blame TV writers loving cheap drama)

I started to think about how if Frasier ever lost his spacious apartment that Marty would be in a tight spot but based on SPD pensions and 1990's rent he could live wherever he wanted.

I've never managed to make it beyond when Daphne and Niles get together, that's a big ole oof magoof for me.

Also Jane Leeves' schtick is wildly overrated, while Peri Gilpin is a total superstar.

That's usually when I tail off as well. Not that I haven't watched it to the end before, but episodes after this typically just feel very "early 2000s sitcom", for the obvious reason that it was an early 2000s sitcom at that point. What that means and why it puts me off is something I can't really easily articulate. Just the mood of the show feeling somewhat off, but also yeah -- Niles clumsily lusting after Daphne was much more entertaining than Niles being with Daphne.

There's a point where Daphne goes "HAH! IT'S YOUR FAULT IM A FAT PIG HOW COULD I EVER LIVE UP GO YOUR IDEAL IMAGE WHAT IF YOU LEAVE ME"

and Niles keeps badmouthing her shrink. That tanks the show for me
