Also they should never have said "she's from Manchester" and then proceed to have her played by a lady who couldn't do a Mancunian accent to save her goddamn life, and with family members whose own accents were like a migraine-inducing tour of the British Isles

Lilith is somehow the best character in both Cheers and Frasier.

Probably also helps that she's an occasional guest in Frasier, so she only shows up when they have an idea.

I love the episode where the private school principal lets Freddie in on condition that his parents never get anywhere near the school

Season 1 as background noise again, and I just noticed that in one episode there's a pretty weird scene. Niles brings a friend/relative (?) of Maris's to the apartment, and Daphne announces that there's just frozen pizza rolls but they're expired, "are we game?" I can buy this as a way of trying to get rid of the awful person, but this is followed by Daphne and Martin having a chat in the kitchen, where Daphne chops up a cucumber or something, picks up a folder as the conversation is ending, and leaves the kitchen, the chopped up vegetable bits left on the chopping board for no discernible reason. Obviously the conversation is the point of the scene, Martin is shy about his bum hip, but the actions don't make any god drat sense. :confused:

This kind of thing will drive you nuts if you let it. For example, start counting how many times in Cheers someone walks in, orders a drink, and then neither drinks it nor pays for it

That's basically every movie or show though. Usually the food is fake, cold, been sitting out since take 14, etc. At least in Frasier they play with the food and coffee.

I've seen some jarring cuts in movies where drinking coffee is picking up the cup and saucer (cut to other person, then back) and putting it back down. Nether sufficient time to drink nor any associated sounds. Sometimes the person cut off camera is still talking.

At least Cheers establishes that all the main characters have a (gigantic) tab
What you will forever notice if you let it is how many cups of coffee and club sodas Sam drinks throughout the show

I like how they kinda play off this in Arrested Development when someone grabs something from the kitchen cabinets, and they’re totally empty aside from the item they intended to grab.
