Frasier Was Better Than Friends

Niles with baby the bird stuck on his head. Niles setting fire to Frasier's apartment. Niles scoring from the halfway line. Kelsey Grammer's wonderful overacting. The lovely autumnal colours. The clever dialogue. The list goes on

Niles and Daphne were better than Ross and Rachel.

Aibu? No I'm not 😀

I love it when Gil is dressed as the last Mohican

I love both of them! My fave frasier episode is where Martin pretends to be gay makes me laugh each time!

TheValeyard · 04/05/2019 15:27

There's very little in modern life that makes me happier than Niles' exclamations of 'Guy!' in the ski lodge episode.

Trying to think of my Top 10 Frasier episodes (don't know the actual episode titles), and have come up with:

  1. Radio Play
  2. Ski Lodge
  3. Frasier's Jingle
  4. Frasier and Niles solve a murder
  5. Russian Bear Clock
  6. Niles' costume party
  7. Frasier and Niles can't organise a dinner party

“I want those cherries to be jubilant!”

'None of us are being asked to do anything we haven't done in our own kitchens at home. Now Niles quick, kill 5 eels!'

This thread is hilarious Grin

Gil Chesterton : Dear God! I thought I'd never break free. I felt like a mongoose at the mercy of a chatty cobra.

Of course it is.

I thought AIBU was to discuss contentious issues, not to make straightforward statements of fact.

I'm watching this now all over again!

It's so wonderfully written I actually still laugh out loud.

“Don’t you believe in second chances Marty?”

“Well, I did, but then Niles came along....”

MyBlueMoonbeam · 04/05/2019 16:17

Friends is shockingly homophobic when watched now 😖

Frasier - pure comedy gold until Daphne's family ruined it completely - should have ended with the Winnebago Wedding escape IMO

TheValeyard · 04/05/2019 16:22

Kenny: I had to come over, Doc. Since we spoke I haven't been able to eat or sleep.

Frasier: Kenny, it's been 90 minutes.

Kenny: I'm a napper.

pure comedy gold until Daphne's family ruined it completely

I found Felicity Huffman's character to be much worse than Daphne's family. The episode with her and Elvis Costello is dire.

Frasier was brilliant, I love the reruns on around 9.am

Loved (and still do) Friends.

Never watched Frasier. I don’t know why? Perhaps it was on when I used to go out? Hmm.

flowery · 04/05/2019 16:35

Used to be on a Friday night at 10pm, so probably!
