Anytime Frasier "went to a conference" Kelsey was in rehab/detox

Supposedly Grammer would just be sitting down unresponsive and zonked out of his mind but as soon as they called action he'd immediately react and start acting only to shut down again after the scene ended

The episode where Frasier irreparably destroys or loses Martin's chair and he goes to great lengths and cost to replace it exactly as is leading to the punchline that it was now the most expensive piece of furniture in his apartment is still the best thing ever played on tv

Why are they always so mean to Lilith if she's nothing but cordial and polite to everybody I mean yeah she's cold and was kinda rude once or twice but that was only in response to the Crane boys attacking her first

I've always assumed she took Fraiser to the cleaners in the divorce.

Dude moved as cross country as you can possibly get to a swanky new apartment and pays for his dad and his dad's caretaker who he also paid for on the basis of an always shaky paycheck in a highly volatile industry

Frasier seems to love slutshamimg Roz

Do they ever hook up?

I'm 4 seasons in and wondering if this is some Donna and Josh Lyman style stuff or if she's gonna rage quit to work for Dan Savage once it hits the late 90s

They do once
Also I read Roz got pregnant not because Peri Giplin was too (she wasn't at that point irl) but because the producers decided there needed to be consequences to Roz always sleeping around so that was kinda lovely

That always seemed a bit out of character for me. Frasier is a colossal nerd in a lot of ways but he doesn't strike me as a Trekkie

He's tricked into it by his nerd coworker who is constantly sexually harassing Roz

In the episode where Nathan Lane steals Frasier's identity, a lot of people recognized Frasier as being on the radio, why did no one say hey this guy sounds just like Frasier while this other guy sounds like a pig that learned to speak english surely that's not Frasier

Cafe Nervosa wasn't totally just a plot device they had some continuity with the people who worked there.

Yeah, there was a waiter who had shown up in the background since like season 3 and by season 10 Niles and Frasier would try to stump him with their esoteric and exotic coffee choices and he'd prepare them without missing a beat

Also the gossipy waitress that by next season Niles was dating

People who dump on the episode in the parking garage screw you that ending with Roz accidentally revealing she slept with Frasier and the Fras unknowingly describing it as his adventure with the parking garage and Niles and Luith Guthman was the most Frasier thing ever

This show is good but it's tiring seeing the exact same plot devices in each and every show. How many times can frasier end up in a conversation that has two completely different meanings before it gets unbearable?

In my experience it still hasn't

Didn't it start a wave of people buying jack russels en mass and then it turns out it's a breed of dog that NEEDS tons of space otherwise they literally jump out of windows to their doggy deaths?

I never understood why dog actors are never named after their main dog character. Like why didn't they name Moose Eddie to make things easier for the trainer/off screen guy signaling instructions? And then I think Moose's dog son's name was like Enzo or something. If you're priming a replacement for your dog actor why not name it after the character

This is art reflecting life. Likewise, I wouldn't mind seeing a fraiser reboot set a few years down the road, fraiser's lost his show after some questionable public statements and most of his money in an all psychiatry radio channel also martys passed on and Niles has come out. Fraiser could "break bad" (I've never seen the show I hope I'm using that right), wear a dirty singlet, beat people up

Martin's still alive because he's tough as piss and now his constant companion is a fresh new russel terrier and Roz and Bulldog are divorced

In S11E21 I find the premise of Frasier and Charlotte having to ask for mechanical help from those dour yet friendly country people extremely unlikely, because despite Frasier knowing less than nothing about cars, he would most likely have his expensive german car inspected as soon as any warning light would pop on, if not because he very obviously meticulously takes care of his things, at least because his vehicle showing visible signs of wear and tear would present a great blow to his ego
