Just got to the episode where Martin pretends to be gay to avoid being courted by a woman at the opera. This show is so blessed.

The Frasier episode that dealt with gay stuff that I most remember is when there is a new handsome Station Manager(?) at the radio station, and Frasier invites him back to his house to set him up with Daphne, but the bloke is gay and thinks that he is on a date with Frasier. Hilarity ensues. I always felt bad for that bloke, because over the course of the evening Frasier leads him on pretty hard, (for a 90s show where the gag was "haha two men being flirty with one another is hilarious"), and the punchline is Daphne comes in all dolled up just when the guy finally says the magic words "I. Am. Gay.", so turns around and runs away in humiliation. And then Frasier just goes "sorry mate, not into dudes. I was trying to pimp you off to my housecleaner, heh." And this poor handsome man takes it all with far more grace and dignity than I would have. I don't think he was ever seen again either.

He pops up again in a Bebe episode where she is negotiating Frasier’s contract with the station and subsequently threatens to jump off the tower which Fraiser talks her down. Not too long after he’s written out when they introduce the new manager of the station, which I think was Kate “Dirty Girl.”

This show is constantly unclear on the labor situation at KACL. Like the contracts for the on-air personalities are negotiated individually but all the producers and techs have a separate combined contract? And sometimes Roz calls Frasier her boss which... yeah I guess? It's not like Frasier could run the show without her though.

Doesn't sound entirely ridiculous coming from a showbiz background, maybe. Most TV shows are after all, made by show business people, which is one of the most heavily unionised remaining industries in the US, but at the same time famously has individual actors and performers who have their own contracts. You see a lot of those dynamics in TV depictions of labour disputes.

When you're watching Frasier and the analytical part of your brain objects to something not making perfect sense just say out loud "Oh really, Niles!" Or shout "Veneer!" And chug more of your beverage of choice.

Said before, but KACL was probably already an anachronism when the show started, non-political talk radio wasn't really a thing anymore. They had the right idea and didn't let that get in the way.

I listened to non-political talk radio until around 2010 when the show had to turn into a podcast, but that was in the Bay Area and may have lasted longer than elsewhere.

Stumbled into a Twitter thread of people arguing how Marty as a former cop would’ve voted. These zoomers must not have actually watched the show because there was already one where Marty endorses a fascist

Think about the fact that Marty owns a Winnebago that he parks in a secure underground parking garage and then realize how many people in Seattle live in RVs on the side of the road. I mean, it wasn't like that in 1998 but Marty is a prime target for the Seattle Is Dying rhetoric.

If I were rich I'd fund that project in a heartbeat. Collect powerups to transform into Super Frasier (black silk bathrobe) and Island Niles (tiki-torch escrima sticks), American Daph (guns) and RoboMarty. Give it the CPS2 AvP battle system. Continue screen would be Frasier in the studio going "Caller.... I'm here Caller..." while a timer counts down and ROZ pounds on the glass increasingly agitated. Get to Zero and the screen turns grey with only a VO of "Caller.... I'm *not* listening..." Gil and Bulldog stand over a broken Frasier with "YOU LOST YOUR TIMESLOT. GAME OVER!" and a hi-score list.
