I put season 1 on for background noise again, it seems so different to the later seasons episodes in that a lot of stuff just... Doesn't get resolved by the end of the episode in any real way. I guess the steak restaurant one is the best example, Martin just straight up tells the Crane Boys they're shitheads and their own mother would be ashamed were she alive. Not that they didn't deserve it, but it just basically ends there, like a lot of the early Martin plotlines. They do acknowledge this in the episode where Martin and Frasier actually have a conversation and Martin points out it takes time for people to establish a working relationship, which was a nice touch. Also not just letting David Hyde Pierce have 3 minutes of physical comedy every episode is a crime!

They show the teevee in the episode where Martin does a political ad. I think? Is that the same episode where they make Eddie "talk" with Frasier's voice on teevee too? Goddamn I need to rewatch this show

Probably something about Roz (who is along for some reason) finding this amazing bar full of hot guys and getting a surprise. Honey, it would be the hot guys getting a surprise

The episode of Modern Family where Roz is the hooker really threw me for a loop. She pretty much plays Roz, too.

Season 1 as background noise again, and I just noticed that in one episode there's a pretty weird scene. Niles brings a friend/relative (?) of Maris's to the apartment, and Daphne announces that there's just frozen pizza rolls but they're expired, "are we game?" I can buy this as a way of trying to get rid of the awful person, but this is followed by Daphne and Martin having a chat in the kitchen, where Daphne chops up a cucumber or something, picks up a folder as the conversation is ending, and leaves the kitchen, the chopped up vegetable bits left on the chopping board for no discernible reason. Obviously the conversation is the point of the scene, Martin is shy about his bum hip, but the actions don't make any god drat sense.

David Hyde Pierce is pretty good at physical comedy, I feel the show didn't utilize that enough instead of just having Kelsey yell NILES at him over and over.

Ghost Leviathan posted:You'd think Frasier would be a bit less approving of Niles and Daphne's ultimate elopement considering what Diane did to him, and how it's shown to be something that he's justifiably upset and traumatised over. Well, first of all, it's all Frasier's fault, in ways more than one. But he also watched Niles be very unhappy with Maris for a long time, and while obviously Niles's infatuation was played for laughs for years, Frasier does seem to care about his brother deeply and wants him to be happy. The exchange they have in the episode where Niles and Lilith (!) have a one-night stand is pretty good, Niles asks if they're "OK" and Frasier responds "No, but we will be." It's very ends justify the means, I guess, but that's not very out of character for Frasier, who does behave very self-centeredly a lot of the time.

Ghost Leviathan posted:The arc where Niles finds his own place once he has his finances in order is interesting, specifically highlighting the difference in tastes and preferred lifestyle to Frasier despite their similarities. Frasier's iconic apartment is high up, open and relatively modern, while I'm not sure if it's on purpose, but the set for Niles' place has a very cosy and... earthy feel to it, almost underground, on top of being specifically a historic building with very high standards for tenants. Frasier's apartment is quite large and has an unusual layout that's nonetheless practical and lends itself to several residents not treading on each others' toes too much, while Niles' is said to be larger than the set makes it look, but easy to get lost in. I felt the show did an okay job selling Niles's place being relatively large, there's that hallway next to the front door that leads to ????, there's an upstairs that I can't remember being directly shown, but Daphne's mother rather evocatively demonstrates some of its qualities in the famous painter episode, etc. We sort of see all of Frasier's place in some way, right? The hallway that leads to Frasier's and Marty's bedrooms is partially shown in a few episodes, and the other hallway to Daphne's room too.

I'm sure this isn't comprehensive, but it's a startquote:Among other problems, it is revealed during the series that Maris exhausts easily under the pressure to be interesting, cannot produce saliva, once had a $25,000 face lift and is allergic to roses. She also has abnormally rigid vertebrae, slightly webbed fingers and an underbite. Perfume gives her hives and her skin has no pigmentation. Getting angry causes one of her eyes to twitch.

PhantomOfTheCopier posted:The song opens with "I hear the blues a'callin", so the blues would be calling again. Though I personally always hear it as his callers calling again, the song says it's the psych issues, sigh. Frasier presumably feels like he can help his callers, hence his career and "I got you pegged". The unresolved issue must be something else. This post needs a closer where it turns out, somehow, the lyrics were about their mother's lab rats instead.

Variety posted:Lyndhurst will play Alan Cornwall, described as “Frasier’s old college buddy turned university professor. British, boozy and larger than life, Alan has an intellect on par with Frasier’s—if only he ever felt like using it. Alan’s mischievous streak might be just what Frasier could use to shake up his routine, while Frasier’s thoughtful guidance might help Alan find some of the direction he’s been missing in his own life.” No. No no no. gently caress off. Frasier was never the straight man of the outfit. He bumbled his way through to making some good things happen, yes, but they were always accidents to his hubris and played as such. If he's now the big bro to a college professor joker, just... What are you even doing?

The episode where Niles winds up with Lilith makes it sort of clear that Frasier and Lilith have a mutual attraction, but they also recognize that they are not compatible as a romantic couple. They both seem vested in Frederick's upbringing and development (Lilith slightly over-the-top as a joke in some cases). On paper Lilith is a better parent, and it would explain why a court would side with her. It's unclear how big of an effort Frasier would have made for custody at the time anyway, when would that have been, some time during Cheers?

Ghost Leviathan posted:Frasier's seemingly quite oversized apartment- which has enough room to make sure there's always a guest bedroom available. Is this true? We see in the fire alarm episode that the hallway that has bedrooms has Frasier's, Marty's and that's about it. I don't think they show the hallway around Daphne's room, but there is an episode centered around it, and it seems to be a room weirdly on its own. Now, Niles's apartment (can you believe he rents that thing?) has rooms a-plenty for guests, which is also the focus of a few episodes.

Niles has a very small speech about how he "walked past these apartments and thought what wonderful people must live there" or somesuch, it's a Thing. Of course the Shangri-la is a contrast to that, for laughs. Niles is very much Frasier turned up to 11.
