Frasier moved to Chicago in the last episode and then Kelsey played the mayor of Chicago years later in Boss. I like to pretend Frasier just changed his name so that Grammer still only gets to play one character ever.

no he moved to san francisco u loving MORON

NOPE! That's where you thought he was going, but he went to Chicago after that one girl he just started dating. I'm sure he will have screwed that up with in a couple weeks as well.

It's weird that I'm the only one I've ever heard of who liked Frasier but hated Cheers.

Cheers sucked rear end, hard. Every character is either bland or grating. The jokes suck. Ted Danson's face is punchable as gently caress, and I swear to god even just remembering that frizzy Italian bitch's voice makes me want to kill myself and everyone around me. The jokes sucked, the writing required you to invest yourself in boring, garbage people whom it is impossible to genuinely root for. The only good thing that came out of Cheers was Frasier, and even his character was boring and horrible in Cheers. I loving HATE CHEERS

First two seasons of Cheers were good, but the Sam and Diane romance was god awful and terrible. Whenever someone asks if they should watch Cheers I tell them to watch the first two seasons, then watch all the Gary's Olde Towne Tavern episodes, and then watch the last two episodes. You seriously won't be missing out on anything.

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

Now that's a pro!

Maris in David Hyde Pierce's mind was always Valerie Mahaffey, who played Frasier's secretary in Season 10 and played John Allen Hill's daughter whom Sam tried to seduce in Cheers.

Huh, I always imagined a bog mummy, since that's what they would always describe.

Leaving his child to go across the country was pretty drat selfish.

It's implied he didn't get custody of Freddy so staying wouldn't have mattered. He did have a suicide attempt on his resume at the time they were determining custody. But really they just didn't want to write a kid into the cast so they left him in Boston.

I've never heard him out of character: how smart is Grammer in real life?

I yelled "Hey Kelsey!" at him at a Cubs game in like 2012. He smiled and waved at me and yelled "Go Cubbies" back then gave me a thumbs up.

So, you know, pretty smart.

I like the episode where Frasier and Niles are hoping they are related to the Russian royal family, but then it turns out their great-grandmother was a literal thieving whore.

With her fetching little under bite and her blousing spandex?

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:

Mel was the best.

She really was until Niles left her for Daphne. then she was a little spiteful, but I think was justified in her anger abut the situation. The writers really didn't do a good job of making the audience think she wasn't right for Niles. All the other characters hated her and the most we see her doing is telling Niles he should run for Cork Master or being able to get into better places than Frasier or being slightly condescending to someone (but no worse than they are to every other non-starring character).

Also she appreciated Niles more and would have made him a better person. And her mother probably wouldn't have ruined every scene she was in for seasons upon seasons.

I actually say this sometimes. I also every now and then do the overly hammy "Fine! Fiiiiiiiiiine!" that Frasier did the episode when he got punched in the face by Maris' murdered husband. Frasier has wormed it's way into my parlance and will never truly be gone.

I guess my only lingering issue is the idea that he was allowed to walk in front of camera with that wet, bald mullet look. Possible contestant for worst media haircut of that decade?

It goes away in season 3 I think. And I think the "Worst Hair of the 90's" hands down goes to Elaine from Seinfeld.

Everyone I know who works in radio is dirt poor. Were things different twenty years ago? Did Frasiers fsmil have a lot of inherited wealth? Why was his dad a redneck?

His mom was a psychiatrist and his dad was a cop. Frasier had money from private practice and was one if the biggest radio stars in Seattle. This was also the time when bug radio stars were national phenomenons like Howard Stern and Mancow.

Yeah they brought up Niles' car somewhat often. It reinforced the "same but different" theme, e.g., BWM/Mercedes, Harvard/Yale, etc. Because there's no way they'd drive the same car make.

Also Frasier's piano teacher raped him when he was a teenager.

The blonde? Nice.

Le Cigar Volant!!

Remember when Frasier had sex with their pastry chef, but kept calling her another woman's name? Then Niles and him had to eat at other restaurants for awhile. I always liked it when the Crane men all cheered each other up when they were all having a bad day. Like the couple of times they all got broken up with on the same night, or when they all sat around watching home movies of their mother/wife on Martin's birthday.

The episode where Frasier buys an art and has a party but then the artist says the art isn't made by her.

Or the time he dates an artist, but then she cuts off all her hair and stuffs a pillow with it and then he keeps banging her as they both howl at the full moon.

There's a three legged greyhound and it's owner that comes into my bank sometimes and she is my absolute favorite. She's super old (like 13 or something). I jokingly asked her owner if she knew how to shake, and the owner told me "Oh she shakes a ton just trying to stand up now." They're both pretty cool. Think the dog is dying though.

Best dramatic scene in the whole series. I don't know what they had for breakfast that morning, but they didn't show acting chops like that before or after.

Someone's forgetting the scene where Frasier tells Niles to have a seat because he's panicking about his divorce and he asks Frasier "Where?" and goes into why each seat is special to him and Maris in someway...obviously that so sinks with in moments because we're not supposed to want them together, but still. Good scene.

was it?

I've given this advice over and over to anyone that asks, but watch the entire first 3 or 4 seasons and then just watch all the Gary's Olde Towne Tavern episodes and then the last four episodes of the series. You won't be missing much of anything. And if you feel like you are then just youtube "Norm Quips" to get the bits you skipped over.
