Today, May 1, HBO has added 15 Minutes, a shlocky 2001 thriller movie about fame and violence that actually was ahead of its time that features old Kelsey Grammer as a scumbag TV news man. Good Lord does he ever chew the scenery like it was so much tossed salad and scrambled eggs.

The most hosed up episode is the one where a series of awkward misunderstandings leads Niles and Frasier to kill and eat Eddie. Then they replace him with a new dog but Martin doesn't even notice.

Post from alt.tv.frasier from 1996:

Darlene Crandall

I bought a jack russell and named it Eddie. Then I took a picture of John Mahoney's face I cut out of a magazine and put it over my own face. "Jump, Eddie! Roll over Eddie!" I said from behind the paper. All he did was pee on the floor. So what I'm wondering is, does anyone have any recipes for jack russell ceviche? Thanks in advance!

I didn't have the reference in mind when I made the post but I immediately realized it afterwards and I've been thinking about that episode all day.

Yes, but it was basically David Hyde Pierce playing a psychotic murderer version of Niles Crane which isn't too much of a stretch for the original character. Niles always looked like he was about to snap.

This is why I think it's required viewing for Frasier fans.

st elmos fire was all the product of a delusional tard it had implications that a lot of broadcast sitcoms after 1980 were also the product of that kid staring at a snowglobe. iirc the connection to all this is that the docs from that hospital went to cheers once so transitively frasier is a construct of an autistic child

Frasier was basically Portlandia 15 years before Portlandia, with various traditional sitcom plots welded on, and a character from a really popular and iconic television show thrown into the gumbo.

The fabled lost last season of Frasier where the writers decided the premise was getting stale so they reset the show in the Jetsons universe without any explanations. It was very strange.

Frasier made bank working in private practice in Boston and he parleyed that into some high risk high yield investments which, even after a costly divorce, he was able to live comfortably off, combined with his various income streams from being a locally famous radio psychiatrist in Seattle, up till whenever the plot of the show needed him to need money.

That's the episode where the old family friend comes back and Martin wonders if he's really Frasier and Niles' biological father. One of the best later ones.
