Kelsey Grammar had raging problems with alcoholism while recording several seasons of this show.

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

At what point does the Fras' get a haircut and stop looking like a homeless former symphony conductor? I want to throw on the show while I'm working on some stuff but I don't want to have nightmares about how bad that hair was later

First episode of season 2, as I recall

"How long was I out?"

Mel was the best.

Mel was great. I hated how they had to make her a complete psycho just so the audience would feel OK about Niles leaving her, and how Niles and Daphne became blander characters just so their relationship would make any kind of sense.

cool new Polack jokes posted:

I think whatever gap in how much Frasier would realistically make and how opulent his 3.5 bath apartment is was explained away by him having some kind of side investment portfolio

He does very little private practice during the run of the show, whenever we see him doing it he's explicitly returning to it after an absence

Plus his agent is basically the devil incarnate, it stands to reason she'd be able to shower him with riches (or at least drive unrealistic pay rates with his bosses).

Frasier in an E65, this would be S10 or 11 most likely



My vote for worst loving episode of the whole series. Frasier had been getting really shouty and weird that whole season, but in this one he acted so hysterically stupid I wondered if they were building up to the big plot twist that he'd developed a brain tumor or a meth habit.

Daphne: Doing a bit of crank, eh? I had a boyfriend back in Manchester that used to snort lines off me backside.

Niles gazes longingly into the middle distance

Frasier, pouring sweat: Good heavens, Niles, this is the finest crystal since Waterford set up a little shop in Ireland.

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?

The Regan/Poppy episode was especially bad at this as I recall, to the point where Niles basically says, "You realize we're talking about different people, right?" and Frasier says, "NO WE'RE NOT, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU"

Cheers is really, really, really good for its first, like, six years. Those last five seasons, though ... oof. The finale was great, though.

There's a reason why "will they, won't they" relationships are still called "Sam and Diane". The first five seasons were awesome. (Coach > Woody)

It should have been Niles and Mel. She was never the raging bitch-goddess the show had to turn her into so the Niles/Daphne "magic" would look better in comparison.

That joke where she basically tells the old guy she'll sleep with him if he buys a ton of wrapping paper is a good example of when you've crossed the line from "this character really enjoys sex" to "this character is a prostitute". Kind of an uncomfortable moment.

Rewatching for the fifth time and I would like to know other bits of interesting trivia like how Kelsey Grammer was fighting some pretty bad addiction demons and how Niles lost his hair in a hurry

Neither Kelsey Grammer nor David Hyde Pierce cared for opera at all. John Mahoney had to give them pointers on the highlights of the genre.

Zore posted:

Fraiser's introduction on Cheers was as a therapist for her, the original female lead, after she had some kind of meltdown and ended up in a mental hospital. Then his first season arc was about them getting married and she left him at the altar since the show was really pushing a 'will they/won't they' thing with her and Ted Danson.

Fraiser ended up sticking around and becoming part of the cast.

Frasier kind of omits how much baggage there was between the two. Niles asks if Frasier had ever let her know how she made him feel, and he was like "well, kinda". But on Cheers, he made it extremely clear over several episodes that she had basically destroyed his well-being, if not his life. Actually if anyone likes Frasier I recommend they watch the first five seasons of Cheers. It's really good and holds up like a clever stage play (as do a lot of the best episodes of Frasier).

The joke would've worked a lot better without that long, climactic speech Martin did in the first season about how his chair was the one remnant of his old life, how it was tied up with the most precious memories a man could ever have, and how no god drat leather recliner could ever even come close.

Her psychic abilities let her know that the whole thing really was an understanding. She let Frasier think she was outraged so she could make out like a bandit later.

You can tell Frasier was written by white men because Marty said his black friend's wife had a big fat rear end and the guy responded by not talking to him for 30 years.

Or how Niles can't stop looking at Daphne's rear end despite the fact that there is essentially nothing there.
