Now that I'm up to speed on David Angell's backstory, the Cam Winston episode with the gigantic US flag makes way more sense as to why it was written.

My read is his wife died in 9/11 and he was fed up with the ultra patriotic climate that arose after it. The whole episode is a send-up of lame patriotic sentiments.

January 8, 2002, I believe: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0582460/ Obviously written a bit before that. Arguably Frasier is pro-America in his speech, albeit with ulterior motive: Frasier posted:Mrs. Moon: Oh, what's left for me there? An empty house full of memories? No, I'd rather stay right here, in the company of my babies. Thank goodness I have my children to lean upon.

Little known fact: the production of Frasier was initially sponsored by the Tourism Board of Palau, who planned a concomitant series of television spots highlighting Palau as the farthest place on Earth you could get from the main characters of Frasier

“I am wooooounded”: A jaunty stroll through the official Frasier cookbook Here's my favorite part of this article quote:And man, for us fully grown anxious dinguses, Frasier hits as true now as it ever has. Seinfeld remains good, but fairly fixed in a moment. Friends is, was, and will always be a stupid trash fire. But Frasier, especially in present day, is 20-some-odd minutes of hilarious Xanax for a troubled mind. It’s just a good-rear end show written by hilarious people and acted by the best ensemble of its era.

 Completely forgot about this, despite this being the episode where "that dingo has your baby". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puJjkuQQF9M I'm gonna choose to believe this Nguy who shined the car is Guy from the cabin and Niles had a little secret thing going on.

DR FRASIER KRANG posted:For how much gay panic Frasier had, Friends is on another level (along with the fat phobia). Sure, those parts suck. But it's also a show that I remember fondly and makes me think of the good time of my life when it was on the air. So I forgive the mean jokes and enjoy the nostalgia trip and good laughs. Plus I have an incredible crush on 90s Lisa Kudrow.

Friends is mean spirited poo poo that reflects all the bad stuff of the 1990's which were the 50's part two, and also it had a lot of lazy writing and bad acting. It's loving garbage. Or, like that article said, "a stupid trash fire". I don't want to be too horribly mean I watched it all too, I used to watch a block of Friends reruns with my early high school crush on the phone. I enjoyed those times. I enjoy the nostalgia feelings. But the show loving sucks. I want Friends to never live in the canon. It was hateful, it was stupid, it deserves to be put in the culture incinerator. Frasier should live, though.

That said, there is a lot of bad Friends eps, i agree. Whenever it got into Ross and Rachel melodrama it was horribly uninteresting, and the show ran out of steam and made caricatures of its characters long before the last season. But it was also nominated for (and won) a boatload of awards (including one from GLAAD somehow) and became a cultural touchstone for a reason. It isn't getting memoryholed anytime soon. Anyway, this is a dumb thing to get into an argument over. Sherry, Niles?

I think the best part of binging Frasier is that it doesn't break itself up. The theme song is at the very end (it owns) and always has something to watch while it's happening and then it just launches into the next episode with a little visual glyph of the Seattle skyline. Just perfect.

Just perfect. There's something almost relaxed and even dignified about the presentation, which is probably meant to be ironic, but still. It's not a show that's desperately trying to blast things in your face and remind you who the characters are every five minutes in case you forgot.

The Frasier intro is perfect, just a classy as hell jazzy piece and the skyline and on to the Crane boys' latest scheme. Like imagine if it had a big overpowering theme song with a montage of Frasier prat falling and Niles mooning over Daphne and Martin farting on things

Was watching the fencing instructor episode last night ("An Affair To Forget") and it just has so many layers of brilliance. What I appreciated this time around was how the building of the model ship is used to tie together so many seemingly unrelated gags in that one scene.
