Wow what a cast. Frasier had one of the most elite main casts and recurring casts in television history. I still have yet to find a show today that is able to blend high brow\sophisticated humor with slapstick and farce. I know people besides sophisticated intellectuals who LOVE this show! I mean beer and chips regular joe types. All types watch and love the show equally. Cheers was like this as well. Haven't seen this type of show since

That's an example of ensemble acting at it's finest. it comes from these people having worked together 6 years at that point. naturally and effortlessly playing off each other. this scene wouldn't have been the same the first couple seasons. other great examples are the hot and foamy scene and the wonderful Death and The Dog where they all talk about depression and then death.

Even the dog feels like one of the main characters it's such a well trained actor. I definitely feel like all the Cheers shows do ensemble casts splendidly, though I think the 90s Frasier series sticks out best by managing to keep a consistent set of characters to grow attached to, which is impressive given Frasier lasted just as long as Cheers did. Even drop-in characters like Lilith stayed such the whole series.

Something special about the writers involved throughout these episodes. Not to mention the personality of the actors. Amazing show, here's to a reboot! Professor or Artist, either sounds great. I'm leaning on Professor though. Now to garner the writers. I doubt their would be any lack for those these coming years. It's really due season for this. Though I've seen the show years ago, you can always sense these things.

Frasiers love life is such a mess 🤣

Faye was perfect for Frasier - it’s like they were afraid of breaking up the household so they made up a reason for him to find fault in her. Which I guess, is classic Frasier for you.

Marty's got a smug look on his face like he's proud of his son.

If i remember correctly, I preferred Cassandra, but Faye was probably the better choice. A wild woman hidden in that reserved demeanor.

Yes, I remeber juggling two girlfriends at once. I ended up getting kneed in the groin.

When I was in my mid-30s, I had an ex-girlfriend that was trying to rekindle things. I also had a very nice ongoing girlfriend. And I had just met a beautiful, new, exciting girl with whom I was quite taken. It was the most stressful time of my life! I juggled things for about three months, then of course it all fell apart.

Anyone else when they saw the black and white dress thought Seinfeld

It makes it possible to include "toilet humor" in episodes now and then. (High-rise apartments can also be a little odd with their floorplans, due to various construction factors (columns, which rooms get the windows, etc). E.g., I lived in a high-rise Seattle apartment - location can be seen from Frasier's balcony - for several years, and my guest bath door was right next to my front door. Create a guest entrance to either of my bathrooms, and that entrance would have had to be in the great room.)
