Season one of the Simpsons had Homer become national news for possibly being an ape-man, with scientists not entirely sure if he was human. No Frasier episode ever got that wacky

FilthyImp posted:There's this touch in some really simple scenes, like the mini-arc where one of the Crane boys' absurd coffee orders keeps being slightly off. The episode happens and as we reach a resolution with the characters and events, the barista finally gets the order right. This was My Coffee with Niles, the finale of the first season. It's not the first time the show got really good (I think it reached that point in Miracle on Third or Fourth Street), but it's the first truly great episode of Frasier.

The equivalent plot is that Frasier would be wandering around the desert of Eastern Washington and get picked up, mistaken for a gray, become national news, and get analyzed by scientists with the result that maybe he's an alien maybe not

FilthyImp posted:I finally remembered to show my wife that preview and she just said "oh no" at the end. Yeah the melancholy plotlines of the first ~4 seasons are really great, there's no way they could hold that emotional weight nowadays (though a lot of that is due to reduced runtime rather than a specific showrunner- there just isn't time to either tell the really good throwaway jokes or build tension properly with 19 instead of 23 minutes) I don't want to go off on a Simpsons tangent but I really, really hate the Al Jean style A plot and B plot where rather than running parallel to one another for the length of the episode, the "A plot" is a completely distinct, unrelated first act that is siloed off and has at best a tenuous connection to the second and third acts. Frasier never had this problem! e: Al Jean rules, "In the last episode, they’d be going back to the Christmas pageant from the first episode, so that the whole series was a continuous loop" - the best ending the series could possibly have and he just... tweeted it out.

Dokapon Findom posted:Frasier never had this problem! Some redditor once tweeted their version of a last Simpsons and it was a contest about writing the last Itchy and Scratchy episode. It would involve the Simpsons individually explaining their version, with the ending being them rushing off home to srr what the last episode was (mirroring the intro of the series). Last shot would be them gathered at the couch waiting to see what was chosen. POV of the TV as they gather happily. Homer clicks the remote and we cut to the end credits and music. I thought that was a good way to go!

Keep in mind there actually was a Blu-ray release about a year ago and apparently it's great. Still stewing about that since I finally bought the DVDs about a year prior.

I'd nearly get a copy if it's the original evening airings. The only place that has them here, the British Channel 4 streaming service, shows it in the early morning and afternoon on broadcast tv so all the episodes on their streams are also cut for a PG rating. The episode with the b-plot of Niles buying weed and Martin getting high, all references to drugs cut so Martin is just acting a bit silly for no reason and it has no resolution. The Carlos and the Chicken episode. They cut out the word rear end so it's the Fraiser Crane's Humongous ... Contest, with his neighbour now trying take a photo of his behind for seemingly no reason. And they cut the best line from it. The spliced audio the duo made of Frasier and Roz having sex is ruined with all risque lines deleted. 'Love does enter through the nose' made that scene and they cut it. I've rewatched bunch of my favourites and just keep noticing all the punchlines they've removed.

I watched all of Cheers and Frasier like a year back on 4OD and this wasn't cut for me, or if some of it was it was still clear Martin had a weed brownie or whatever.

I imported the Blu-Ray set to the UK (region free) and it was worth it as the picture quality is such an improvement on the Channel 4 SD quality broadcasts. Plus the lack of censorship - so many cut lines I've never heard (eg the first time I've ever heard Daphne say 'fellatio') and the weed episode just never gets aired in the 0830-0930 in the morning time slot. I'm sure they've played the "Frasier Crane's humongous rear end" jingle though.

I absolutely adore googling Frasier Blu Ray and not seeing a single result from Canada, consider ordering from Amazon US and then thinking about the process of having to insert a loving disc to watch it every time. How in motherfucking 2023 can they not release it on loving digital?

Yeah my eventual dream plan is to set up a Frasier Plex playlist that can be shuffled and serve up nothing but bangers in HD every time

Beyond the obvious plus of convenience, streaming kind of sucks anyway. Sound and picture quality is at the mercy of how well it's been compressed and varies wildly; some 4k streams look worse than 1080p. And recently we've seen certain platforms dropping large amounts of their libraries for supposed tax reasons. Hold onto your physical media!

Frasieroullete is a streaming service that's free but requires you to make an account. The interface consists of one button that plays a random episode of Frasier. The catch? You must watch the episode it plays you, in its entirety, before you are allowed to watch another.

I'm usually an HD snob but after watching Frasier as I have over the last 10 years, I'm more willing to concede for comfort. I didn't know Plex could do playlists, can you set it up to shuffle multiple shows? I've often considered setting up an always-on display for this purpose

I got my set from Movie Zyng who sell it on behalf of CBS. My one issue with the set is they replaced the old Paramount logo at the end of the credits with the much poorer, modern CBS one.
