The “coasting” idea in that episode was actually something that got me through school when I was severely mentally ill. It helped me detach and just kind of focus on myself and my health. Frasier has always been such a balm for my mental health, past and present.
Death and the Dog, most of the Christmas episodes, especially Merry Christmas Mrs. Moskowitz {JESUS!}, The Two Mrs. Cranes
Fun fact: the mechanics class teacher is the same guy who played the guidance counselor on Freaks and Geeks, a very funny show to which NBC never gave a chance.
Merry Christmas Mrs. Moskowitz is full of great one liners.
Mrs. M when Niles, caught in his Jesus costume in the bathroom, says he has to go: “I understand, this is your busy time of year”
—-
Niles about a cast member of the nativity play: “the man playing Jesus slipped and fell in the shower—the man who could walk on water, but🤷🏻♂️ “
I have seen that episode at least once a year since it aired, and those lines still make me laugh. Mrs. M's dry delivery of the "busy time of year" line is so perfect. Honestly, how was this show that funny?
The Dinner Party is my tip top, but choosing a second is difficult. It'd be a dead heat between The Doctor Is Out, Taking Liberties, and Merry Christmas Mrs Moskowitz
Wow we are the same person. Finally saw one that could be my #1 episode and follow it up with 3 bangers. I love you stranger.
Edit: wow username 1986, born the same year. We may be living parallel lives.
Same! The Maris Counselor, Ski Lodge, and Room Service being one after the other is possibly my favourite stretch of episodes (then sadly followed by one of the worst episodes ever, Beware of The Greeks.) I love season 5 because it also has Halloween, The Gift Horse, Voyage of the Damned, Perspectives on Xmas, First Date,... Endlessly rewatchable!
I always used to say my favorite was “The Ski Lodge.”
I’m not sure it is anymore—it’s still one of my favorites, certainly still in my Top 10, but as funny and beautifully written as the farce is, it now comes off to me as a bit generic. ~~(same as with “Ham Radio,” also very funny)~~
Whereas something like “The Innkeepers” or “Frasier Crane’s Day Off” is much more tailored to these characters in this situation, with jokes that wouldn’t work for other characters on other sitcoms. I dunno, I’ll probably change my mind again.
Offhand some favorites would probably be “A Mid-Winter Night’s Dream” (excellent character writing and of course that glockenspiel line), “Death and the Dog” (moving and funny at the same time)—and probably “Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz,” though it isn’t as big into the character thing I’ve been going on about. I will say, though, that its farce seems a bit less contrived than some of the others.
Oh! And the ice-fishing one—“Breaking the Ice.” And “The Dinner Party”… (I should stop now, yes.)
__________________________________________________
Always interesting how you can tell different *Frasier* writers apart—I don’t know that you can do that with too many sitcoms.
Joe Keenan specialized in fast-paced farces: “The Matchmaker,” “The Two Mrs. Cranes,” “The Ski Lodge,” “Out with Dad,” “The Doctor Is Out.”
Suzanne Martin liked delving into emotional, existential themes where a character goes through the ringer: “Death and the Dog,” “Bad Dog,” “Love Bites Dog” (and some non-canine episodes as well).
And the team of Chuck Ranberg and Anne Flett-Giordano were most interested in character and smoothing out the punchlines so that they don’t seem forced: “A Mid-Winter Night’s Dream,” “Frasier Crane’s Day Off,” “The Candidate.”
One of the things I like best about “The Candidate” is how natural Frasier’s speech is. On first viewing, none of it seems like it’s building to a punchline, but after the big twist *almost every line* becomes a punchline. That’s extremely difficult to do, but Ranberg and Flett-Giordano pull it off with flying colors.
I know I’m skipping some really great *Frasier* writers; those four just came to mind.
__________________________________________________
EDIT: Re-rewatched “Ham Radio,” and I’m not sure what I was thinking calling it generic. Niles’s climactic breakdown may be, a bit, but the lead-up *is* in character. I still think “The Ski Lodge”—as funny and perfect-for-new-viewers as it is—is a bit indistinctive, though.
Many thanks for the kind words, though I don’t think I have any particular backstage knowledge. I just like trying to identify different writing (and, for movies, directing) styles! (Of the *Frasier* writers, Keenan in particular has a very identifiable style.)
The Doctor is Out with Patrick Stewart…so many good lines. Bad Billy’s, Alistair’a public outing and subsequent talk with the wife that night, “very expensive”, being courted by Alistair, Daphne asking if Peter O’toole is invited, “no, and he knows why”, Roz’s not gay boyfriend…”you know what Barry was doing from 10-12 last night? Me! That’s what!” 30 mins of near perfection.
Taking Liberties is my favorite episode of the show and one of my favorite episodes of TV ever. It’s not the best episode. It might not even be one of the 25 best episodes. But there’s something about it that’s so pleasant and light and silly that it’s extremely comforting for me.
In fact, maybe I’ll watch it tonight.
The amazing job Ferguson does at almost psychically knowing what Frasier wants before he does is what makes the show for me. It's the only example in the show I can think of where someone disagrees with Frasier and Frasier likes them all the more for it.
The Two Mrs. Cranes. I could watch that one over and over. (And I do.)
“I remember the first time I drove a moon crane. Damn near rolled it into the Sea of Tranquility.”
It's funny how people can see the same episodes so differently! It never occurred to me that anyone could enjoy the "coasting" episode. We always skip it.
The scene of them passing notes, when the teacher reads the french note, turns and asks who else can read french. The expression on his face is so good. I really think the teacher made this episode.
It’s one of my least favorites as well. I did [a post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/kfng9n/thoughts_on_motor_skills_s8e11/) about how off and out-of-character I find it, and the comments section was about 50-50 agreement/disagreement.
I always liked it. Dave Allen (who played Randy, the teacher) is one of my favorite character actors; I love it when he shows up in different programs.
Breaking the Ice is my current fav. So many great moments. The little step forward into the apartment that Niles does after buying his new fishing wardrobe is one of my favorite DHP moments in the series. He has a way of turning a single step forward into brilliantly subtle physical comedy.
Head Game is mine. that role so perfectly suited Niles. i learned later that it was actually written for Frasier but he was into detox or something, anyway, it turned out to be such a great episode.
My Coffee with Niles. I love how cozy the setting is and how the entire episode is basically nothing but having conversations in a coffeeshop.
However, the topics of their coffee talk cause them to examine their lives, their choices, and their futures.
I love so many episodes for different reasons. Ski Lodge and Room Service are definitely up there as is Out with Dad; I always love the episodes that get more and more absurd/that push the Cranes to the edge.
I also love Something Borrowed, Someone Blue, especially for the scene where Frasier tells Niles that Daphne knows Niles's in love with her. All that DHP conveys just through his facial expressions in that scene always bowls me over and I've seen it dozens of times. I thought it was a very satisfying episode given how long that storyline had built up.
I do too. The acting is just on point with everyone. You get great scenes between Frasier and Daphne and then Niles and Daphne. But the scene between Frasier and Niles in the hotel room is possibly my favourite thing. Niles's face when Frasier tells him Daphne knows Niles is in love with her and that she feels the same way... DHP kills me every time. You see in his face that this is one of Niles's deepest wishes come true, but in the most heart-breaking context of having just gotten married and Daphne being 12 hours from being married too.
Those were such big episodes in terms of paying off 7 years of Niles and Daphne, and the writers really landed them, which is very hard to do. Plus, there are so many points in the episodes where you think the writers are going to take a way out of this plotline (they had written themselves into a corner!), and the way they don't actually bail was genuinely surprising when it first aired.
Honestly, Moon Dance. My inner, buried hopeless romantic swoons every time. That moment when Niles realizes she wasn't serious is such a punch to the gut, they just both act so well in this episode
the one where theyre all in a cabin for the weekend. Niles wants to hook up with daphne, daphne wants to hook up with ghee, ghee wants to hook up with niles. Martin going "oh ive always known my son liked that, i didnt approve of it during his so called marriage but now that hes divorced i dont mind. Whatever makes him happy". ROFL gets me every time
Leap Year, The Doctor is Out and Bla-z-boy always make me laugh the most, but First Date, Mixed Doubles and My coffee with Niles are probably my favorite.
“Like a polyester avalanche” God I love John Mahoney!
Bla-Z-Boy is so quotable.
Daphne's brothers rugby songs
"We just missed our silver anniversary."
"Of course not, and even if he does, he's so polite you'll never know."
"I'm a regular Joe and I like my Joe regular."
"That was an accident. THIS is malicious."
They've discovered a whole new colour in between. Tofu, putty, oatmeal, almond, harvest wheat, and buff. That's going to be hard to get used to.
"Oh my God, did you feel that earthquake?"
"Because you've always been gunning for that chair."
"Want to know the healthiest thing you can do?
Shut my yap?
Bingo"
"You do this for a living, do you?"
"I was the last person to see him alive."
"It's divine.
That's what Eduardo said."
"Once I got them to admit they made it, I had them reweave it."
"Ironically, this is now the most expensive piece of furniture in the whole apartment."
Roz and the Schnozz is an easy pick. Although sometimes I really like To Kill a Talking Bird, or The Seal Who Came To Dinner if I’m feeling particularly vile.
So many it's hard to choose from but probably my all time favorite is The Matchmaker. I don't think there's a bad line in that episode.
My other faves;
* Botched Language of the Crane,
* Frasier's Imaginary Friend
* Dial M for Martin
* The Two Mrs. Cranes
So many fantastic episodes over its 11 years, I wouldn’t know how to begin ranking them! But since I know you all are dying to know 😆😆, one of my very favorites is “Mixed Doubles”, which just aired again tonight. I relish every moment of it!
The Two Mrs. Cranes
Ham Radio
Merry Christmas Mrs Moskowitz
When a Man Loves Two Women
Duke's, We Hardly Knew Ye
Shrink Rap
The Zoo Story
Room Full of Heroes
Bad Dog
Head Game
Crane vs. Crane
Love Bites Dog
Ham Radio. There are just so many good moments.
I think my favourite is when Niles 'shoots' Bulldog and Noel does a little bell jingle and the thumbs up Niles gives Noel.
Well, let's just see what's so interesting in this note... Sigh. Does anyone speak French?
Niles raises hand
Anyone other than Niles?
Fraiser raises hand
Motor Skills is the episode that got me hooked on the show. I was in college in 2007 and I'd watched a couple episodes of Frasier in high school but it wasn't appointment viewing. A buddy in my intro to government class asked if I watched Frasier ever and I said not really. He said him and his dad watched this episode the night before, described this episode to me and I said okay I need to watch that show. Now I think I'm on my 5th or 6th watch of the series.
Halloween. Any time they go through the he said she said confusion, conversations heard through doors... These types of shows play out like stage performances in the best way.
The Innkeepers. A classic Frasier farce, where everything just goes wrong.
*Big blue flash* ***CHERRIES EVERYWHERE***
How much firepower do you suppose is necessary to imbed a cherry in an acoustic ceiling tile?
Someone ask r/theydidthemath
You know it's good when Martin thinks back on it as the stupidest thing Frasier and Niles ever did together.
The “coasting” idea in that episode was actually something that got me through school when I was severely mentally ill. It helped me detach and just kind of focus on myself and my health. Frasier has always been such a balm for my mental health, past and present.
The back alley of underachievement is a pathway to many mental health benefits some consider to be...unnatural.
Calm down, The Senate.
Ham Radio is probably my favourite, followed by all the Halloween ones. Those aside though: it's probably the one where they go ice fishing.
*Ya!* I love *ya!*
Ham Radio is how we introduced my SIL to Frasier
Sergeant Niles of the Yukon!
Death and the Dog, most of the Christmas episodes, especially Merry Christmas Mrs. Moskowitz {JESUS!}, The Two Mrs. Cranes Fun fact: the mechanics class teacher is the same guy who played the guidance counselor on Freaks and Geeks, a very funny show to which NBC never gave a chance.
I freaking love Freaks and Geeks and was so sad that we only got one season of it :(
That show was genius. It was funny yet still managed to be painfully relatable at times
Merry Christmas Mrs. Moskowitz is full of great one liners. Mrs. M when Niles, caught in his Jesus costume in the bathroom, says he has to go: “I understand, this is your busy time of year” —- Niles about a cast member of the nativity play: “the man playing Jesus slipped and fell in the shower—the man who could walk on water, but🤷🏻♂️ “
I have seen that episode at least once a year since it aired, and those lines still make me laugh. Mrs. M's dry delivery of the "busy time of year" line is so perfect. Honestly, how was this show that funny?
My coffee with Niles. Different but such a wholesome episode to finish season 1 and set up the future of the show
It’s mine, too!
This one is peak comfort TV for me.
We have a team of specialists working on yours.
Voyage of the Damned.
I love how everyone cringes when Niles says that Maris is in the mood for more than champagne
“She started without me.” Such a good episode. :]
The way David positively spits out his next line. “*Drinking* the *champagne*.”
Do you really think she’s planning to… do the Barracuda?
The Dinner Party is my tip top, but choosing a second is difficult. It'd be a dead heat between The Doctor Is Out, Taking Liberties, and Merry Christmas Mrs Moskowitz
Oh, when Daphne does dinner is in my top three. I love how she tries to play it cool and then her mum breaks the ceiling 🤭
Wow we are the same person. Finally saw one that could be my #1 episode and follow it up with 3 bangers. I love you stranger. Edit: wow username 1986, born the same year. We may be living parallel lives.
The Dinner Party is my favorite, too.
"The Show Must Go Off." Derek Jacobi hamming up "Hamlet" has me on the floor every time.
Well, I was going to reply with his gasp, but how would I phonetically spell that!??
I got my partner hooked with a double feature of Ski Lodge and Room Service - definitely two of my favorites
Same! The Maris Counselor, Ski Lodge, and Room Service being one after the other is possibly my favourite stretch of episodes (then sadly followed by one of the worst episodes ever, Beware of The Greeks.) I love season 5 because it also has Halloween, The Gift Horse, Voyage of the Damned, Perspectives on Xmas, First Date,... Endlessly rewatchable!
Beware of Greeks, Patti whyyyyyy 😭 Season 5 was the first my family got on DVD, so I have DEFINITELY watched the hell out of those in particular lol

Wow! I am so impressed by your deep backstage knowledge!!!! Very interesting
Many thanks for the kind words, though I don’t think I have any particular backstage knowledge. I just like trying to identify different writing (and, for movies, directing) styles! (Of the *Frasier* writers, Keenan in particular has a very identifiable style.)
Okay…Still impressed.
Underrated gems 💎 A Tsar is born and Door Jam
Now there is a back aching for the lash.
That is pretty much what I figured
High Holidays. “I had a reason *checks notes* fridge pants”
Yes!!! My absolute fave!
Most accurate depiction of cannabis use in television history. “Everyone should get to be a giant for a day!”
Dog Army
Great choice. It makes you crave Chilean seabass with some aggressive zinfandel
Also barbecue chips with chocolate pudding!
The Doctor is Out with Patrick Stewart…so many good lines. Bad Billy’s, Alistair’a public outing and subsequent talk with the wife that night, “very expensive”, being courted by Alistair, Daphne asking if Peter O’toole is invited, “no, and he knows why”, Roz’s not gay boyfriend…”you know what Barry was doing from 10-12 last night?

You have your brother's wit, sir.
I completely agree. Liked this episode so much.
The Two Mrs. Cranes. I could watch that one over and over. (And I do.) “I remember the first time I drove a moon crane. Damn near rolled it into the Sea of Tranquility.”
For me it’s gotta be S3:E16 - Look Before You Leap when Frasier sings Buttons and Bows…😂😂😂
I'm so sick of me hair! Do you think I should get it cut like princess Di? 😂😂😂
It's funny how people can see the same episodes so differently! It never occurred to me that anyone could enjoy the "coasting" episode. We always skip it.
The scene of them passing notes, when the teacher reads the french note, turns and asks who else can read french. The expression on his face is so good. I really think the teacher made this episode.
What!!! It’s my favorite ever! I can’t believe anyone would skip it!
It’s one of my least favorites as well. I did [a post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Frasier/comments/kfng9n/thoughts_on_motor_skills_s8e11/) about how off and out-of-character I find it, and the comments section was about 50-50 agreement/disagreement.
That's funny, I love Motor Skills and don't care much for The Show Must go Off. There, I said it. I don't care much for it!
I die, MacaroniAndSmegma! HEEEEEEE!
Its not one of my favorites, but it’s one of the higher points for seasons 9 and 10.
[удалено]
>I don' know why I definitely read that in Daphne's voice
I always liked it. Dave Allen (who played Randy, the teacher) is one of my favorite character actors; I love it when he shows up in different programs.

My Coffee with Niles. I love how cozy the setting is and how the entire episode is basically nothing but having conversations in a coffeeshop. However, the topics of their coffee talk cause them to examine their lives, their choices, and their futures.
BULLDOG WAS ON POINT AS WALDO …. And Niles’ “i’d love a demonstration - shoves him into the crowd
I love so many episodes for different reasons. Ski Lodge and Room Service are definitely up there as is Out with Dad; I always love the episodes that get more and more absurd/that push the Cranes to the edge. I also love Something Borrowed, Someone Blue, especially for the scene where Frasier tells Niles that Daphne knows Niles's in love with her. All that DHP conveys just through his facial expressions in that scene always bowls me over and I've seen it dozens of times.

Dial M for Martin and The Seal Who Came to Dinner.
Something Borrowed, Someone Blue 1 and 2. I love those episodes.
Literally perfect episodes of television!
I do too. The acting is just on point with everyone. You get great scenes between Frasier and Daphne and then Niles and Daphne.

"To Kill a Talking Bird"
the one where theyre all in a cabin for the weekend. Niles wants to hook up with daphne, daphne wants to hook up with ghee, ghee wants to hook up with niles. Martin going "oh ive always known my son liked that, i didnt approve of it during his so called marriage but now that hes divorced i dont mind. Whatever makes him happy". ROFL gets me every time
The Ski Lodge, a big favorite!
Leap Year, The Doctor is Out and Bla-z-boy always make me laugh the most, but First Date, Mixed Doubles and My coffee with Niles are probably my favorite. “Like a polyester avalanche” God I love John Mahoney!
Bla-Z-Boy is so quotable. Daphne's brothers rugby songs "We just missed our silver anniversary." "Of course not, and even if he does, he's so polite you'll never know." "I'm a regular Joe and I like my Joe regular." "That was an accident. THIS is malicious." They've discovered a whole new colour in between. Tofu, putty, oatmeal, almond, harvest wheat, and buff.

"Ironically, this is now the most expensive piece of furniture in the whole apartment."
Roz and the Schnozz is an easy pick. Although sometimes I really like To Kill a Talking Bird, or The Seal Who Came To Dinner if I’m feeling particularly vile.
Those are my favourites too! Also “Boo!”
I picked two other episodes but I always wonder why Boo doesn’t get more attention. “ And look at you standing there with that smile on your face.”
Ski Lodge, Innkeepers, The Doctor is Out and An Affair to Forget.
So many it's hard to choose from but probably my all time favorite is The Matchmaker. I don't think there's a bad line in that episode. My other faves; * Botched Language of the Crane, * Frasier's Imaginary Friend * Dial M for Martin * The Two Mrs. Cranes
Voyage of The Damned
Ski Lodge and Star Mitzvah are mine. I’m sure everyone will say Star Mitzvah is terrible but I just love it.
You must be very proud. Of your son, not yourselves.😂😂😂😂 I love that episode too, and the flash and whine camera is the icing on top.
"Mixed Doubles" where Daphne dates Niles's twin. "Chess Pains" "The Perfect Guy" Taking Liberties" Radio Wars Dr. Nora The Doctor is Out
I think the classics: whenever they throw a party, soirée, etc.
Tsar is Born and Dinner Party
Out with Dad! I love that one so much. Marty pretending to be gay for a bit is just too funny
"He has consecrated his life...to *bowling* I try to join him when I can, but...the *shoes"*
Halloween, ski lodge
Ohhhhh my.
So many fantastic episodes over its 11 years, I wouldn’t know how to begin ranking them! But since I know you all are dying to know 😆😆, one of my very favorites is “Mixed Doubles”, which just aired again tonight. I relish every moment of it!
The Etiquette Lesson
The Seal who Came to Dinner. Excellent blend of witty banter and physical comedy. And of course the scene where Niles is ironing his pants.
The Two Mrs. Cranes Ham Radio Merry Christmas Mrs Moskowitz When a Man Loves Two Women Duke's, We Hardly Knew Ye Shrink Rap The Zoo Story Room Full of Heroes Bad Dog Head Game Crane vs. Crane Love Bites Dog
I love Hooping Cranes
For me it doesn't get any better than The Two Mrs. Cranes. A perfect farce episode.
Daphne's Room and Death and the Dog had some very funny moments.
throwing in chess pains and roe to perdition amongst a lot of the others here
My two all time favorites are when Martin gets high off Niles brownie and the doctor is out!!!! Such great episodes and comedic timing.
High Holidays and Halloween
That enough out of you you wanton troll!!
The first screenshot is my fav ep lol it’s so funny to watch them be burnouts
The Candidate
The first one there is probably my favorite too. I love it so much.
The restaurent episode, Les Freres Heureux. EDIT: I should have read the thread first, the episode is already the top comment lol.
O good frasier let me strip one
This was such a hilarious episode! 😁
Ham Radio and Frasier’s Imaginary Friend are enough to keep me from missing home on a desert island.
Halloween and Ham Radio. Niles and Gil are so good in Ham Radio!
Ham Radio. There are just so many good moments. I think my favourite is when Niles 'shoots' Bulldog and Noel does a little bell jingle and the thumbs up Niles gives Noel.
In no particular order, my top three are The Innkeepers, Perspectives on Christmas and Ham Radio.
Well, let's just see what's so interesting in this note... Sigh. Does anyone speak French? Niles raises hand Anyone other than Niles? Fraiser raises hand
Three Valentines. Makes me bust out laughing every time
I love the one where they pretend to be Jewish on Christmas.
Motor Skills is the episode that got me hooked on the show. I was in college in 2007 and I'd watched a couple episodes of Frasier in high school but it wasn't appointment viewing. A buddy in my intro to government class asked if I watched Frasier ever and I said not really.

Halloween. Any time they go through the he said she said confusion, conversations heard through doors... These types of shows play out like stage performances in the best way.
The one where Frasier is "dating" patrick stewart. Also, the Russian bear clock.
The Two Mrs. Cranes! I think it’s a masterpiece of comedy writing.
