And the episode where Niles tried to give a dinner party and ended up with a bird on his head.

Or the other episode where Niles tried to give a dinner party, and he and Frasier had to get rid of a dead seal on the beach outside the house, and everyone thought Niles had killed Maris.

I remember Niles doing a tango with Daphne in some very farcical episode, but I do not remember the circumstances at all

I think that Maris and he had some big fight, she went off to have plastic surgery, and he had some event he didn't want to go to alone. I know it was before the Niles/ Maris divorce, because later Maris mentioned it in the divorce paperwork.

Really? Not Cosby? Or Cheers? They made NBC kings of Thursday nights. (I preferred Night Court, but I realize that's a minority view.)

I agree with this completely, especially the Night Court part.

I also loved Fraiser, mainly for Niles. Fraiser's character got annoying toward the end, but Niles and Daphne were wonderful.

Best sitcom of all time for me, would probably go to All in the Family. I hate Seinfeld with a passion, but I know that most people wouldn't agree with me.

Niles-fencing for his wife's honor

With three different languages! And whaddayaknow? Youtube has the scene: [link]

He looks so young! Also, Ffarfignugen!

And the episode where they try to put on a radio play.

I hate Seinfeld with a passion, but I know that most people wouldn't agree with me.

Oh my god, seriously. Every character (except, *maybe*, Kramer) was so loathesome.

They are mean, mean people (I never liked Seinfeld either)

I do like Seinfeld. But I'm fairly comfortable with the darker facets of my personality. (pause for "Duh, we noticed," And I'm thinking how little y'all would like "Curb your Enthusiasm" which is like, so, less cheerful than Seinfeld. It's brilliant, though.
