Which Frasier was that?
I liked the one where Frasier was afraid Niles was going to go "howling across the moors" over Daphne, "Wuthering Heights" references being fairly skimpy in modern sitcoms.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Anzac day for folks in Oz and New Zealand.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Which Frasier was that?
Frasier could be great farce. There was also a Valentine's Day ep in which David Hyde Pierce -- singlehandedly -- had me ROTFL in the last of the great silent one-reelers.
Though that's hardly in the "saying witty things to one another" category.

Frasier was funnier when Niles and Frasier were characters on The Simpsons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought Frasier was really funny, but avoid tired clichés? Perhaps in favour of creating its own.

They can be very funny, imo. That Simpsons is one of my faves. My stepfather was such a Niles, too.ETA: ita does have a point...sometimes it is like Three's Company read a lot of books, though.

Fred Pete -- that scene was one of the funniest on tv.

Exactly, sumi. The way it built and built and built....

David Hyde Pierce is freaking genius.
