I watched some episodes because of this thread and I wanted to mention how weird the live in English health professional who makes breakfast and does laundry is. I don't have any comments related to reptile eggs.

The Wonder Weapon posted:Finding this thread (about Frasier, not Gilmore Girls, wtf) is giving me life. I watched it on a lark while I like the Niles and Daphne stuff but I binge watched it all for the first time quite recently. I can imagine it being annoying to wait a week for new chuckles only to get a subplot you didn't care for in the first place. There was a lot of it too.

Solice Kirsk posted:Frasier speaks Klingon at Freddy's bar mitzvah which is what I was responding to. I think everyone else is talking about when he first meets Fay and they dump sugar into the wine to make it Jewish and Niles just lights it up with Yiddish. I must have slept through that one. I'll have to go back for the Niles Yiddish Explosion.

Sir Lemming posted:It definitely went downhill after they got together, but it was still such a great moment. They just had to write around it better. They basically dumped all the Standard Sitcom Couple plots on them and it wasn't a good fit. Yeah 100%. The writers had a lot of different ideas and all of them weren't great.

The Wonder Weapon posted:Overall I think the best character is Martin. John Mahoney nails it so perfectly in so many scenes. "Ooh, HAM!", telling the ex-fiancee he was an astronaut, etc. It's just his small quips and interjections that are A super cute moment is when Marty sits in the chair Frasier replaces his lounger with and goes "oh boy, I could have lived with this just fine".

Like that episode with the parking garage. Completely unreasonable response to something he had to have run in to before but his principles. Still, I love Luis Guzman so I'm conflicted.
