My dc think I am. They won't even sit in the room when it's on. They say urgh mum you and your bad TV shows and bugger off to their bedrooms. They hate everybody loves Raymond as well.

I'm getting my coffee and croissants ready for my favourite hour in the morning. Grin I love working term time and having enough mornings to waste watching crap TV.

It started before you were born?! Ye Gads!

I remember Frasier propping up the bar in Cheers..

Ellen yes and they forge the course certificates! So funny

YANBU, it's aces.

DD loves Frasier...almost as much as she loves Friends!

So many good episodes...like a pp...I loved Lilith and Bebe. Also can do a passable impersonation of Daphne, I don't know why ...I nearly died laughing in the car one day doing the voice over to the start of War of the Worlds in her voice....try it!

Some snippets, Peri Gilpin was going to be Maris, but the actress they had for Roz was Lisa Kudrow, which wasn't working, so they swapped and the rest is history.
Eddie was played by two dogs
and the episode where Niles irons his trousers and sets firs to Frasier's sofa was because Kelsey Grammer had been carted off checked into rehab.

YANBU! I love frasier and an currently working through the episodes with my hubby, we had forgotten just how funny it was, martin is my fave character, have just started series 7 so still a way to go, however your kids are BVVU! I recommend removing all tv privileges till they see the light Grin

Copernicus called and it turns out you aren't the centre of the universe.

Grin Grin Grin

Just painfully good.

MargotLovedTom · 02/08/2016 10:00

Kelsey Grammer had his troubles didn't he, which is weird because I can't imagine him as being anything other than Frasier-like in RL too.
Maris was never seen - was Peri Gilpin going to be Daphne originally? I knew about the Lisa Kudrow thing.

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 02/08/2016 10:00

and the bit about Niles having to stand up to Maris and not doing it....

I see you are STILL waiting for that spine donor

Turbinaria · 02/08/2016 10:03

Favourite Frasier episodes are: Going out with dad, Boo and Caught in the act
enjoy!

Destinysdaughter · 02/08/2016 10:10

Love it!

Love that episode where they go to that upmarket spa and are so desperate to be upgraded. Niles is hopping around in a body wrap, like a Mummy, desperate to get to the next level and they go through the mysterious door only to get locked outside by the trash cans!

Mouthfulofquiz · 02/08/2016 10:13

I've watched Frasier from start to finish on all three mat leaves! It's brilliant.

MrsJoeyMaynard · 02/08/2016 10:17

There was an episode where Frasier and Roz went to bed together and agreed it's been a terrible mistake, don't want to ruin our friendship, let's not tell anyone etc.
Followed by a radio show where Frasier got the wrong end of the stick about which way a conversation was going IIRC and accidentally told all of Seattle about it.

LemonRedwood · 02/08/2016 10:28

You're all wrong. The best best bit is the exploding shaving foam. It builds up over a long time without you even realising it. I still remember how hard I laughed when I saw that the first time and I still laugh out loud even now I know it's coming.

MrsJayy · 02/08/2016 10:34

I think ive missed a series who is Roz's Dds dad?

99GBPChargeToUseMyPostsJournos · 02/08/2016 10:35

I love the radio theme tune episode.

And the clip where they sing goldfinger.

EllaHen · 02/08/2016 10:36

Alice's Dad is a young uni student. He offers to marry her but she encourages him to stay at uni and get on with his life/go to Europe. His parents step up to help out I think.

EllaHen · 02/08/2016 10:36

Fucking love Goldfinger.

CaptainCrunch · 02/08/2016 10:41

Hahaha op yes!!! The Bishops lost at sea!!!! Grin

MrsJayy · 02/08/2016 10:41

I obviously missed those episodes ive seen it when she is pregnant/has Alice.

MachiKoro · 02/08/2016 10:44

I love Frasier! So, so funny.
I have never understood the lyrics of the theme song though Confused
It took me about twenty years to realise that was Kelsey Grammar singing!

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 02/08/2016 10:45

oh lemon ...that is good....who is it...in Frasier's "guestbath" and the bang

..is it Niles??? He was SUCH a good, deadpan but slapstick actor. so understated and smart!

I loved him in A Bug's Life as Slim :o

and look what you all made me do.... Wikiquotes!!

MrsJayy · 02/08/2016 10:47

As i said before Niles is hilarious really makes me laugh

NuckyT · 02/08/2016 10:55

I love Frasier - could watch it all day! My favourite is the ski-lodge episodes, if only for Niles exclamations of 'Guy!'

It's funny watching it now to see how many jokes are based on 'gay panic' as an easy laugh, but that said Patrick Stewart's guest appearance as a potential suitor of Frasier was brilliant.

lovelybangers · 02/08/2016 11:00

i used to love Frasier -it's very well written.

But since I read about Kelsey Grammar and his anti-abortion activism it's taken the shine off it for me.

molyholy · 02/08/2016 11:07

Love it. Loved the one where martin bought his fiancée her engagement ring from the police auction and it was a fat rappers toe ring, engraved with his rap name 'l'il cupid'. He kept trying to give her the nickname of 'l'il cupid'. Haha I am laughing my head off thinking about it.
