Speaking only of the Original 6:  choose any Shark or Sharks and their signature phrase, compliment or insult – they say over and over and over again – which you find annoying.

 

 

Elitist and lovable Frasier, so out of touch with the common way of life. 

How are you bribing a city bus driver to stop where YOU want him to?  “Perhaps if I just shove a little encouragement into this box.”   The disinterested look on the bus driver’s face is so real.  LOL!!   Love this scene! 

What is your favorite/memorable episode, scene, line or action that shows Frasier isn’t as “connected” as he thinks he is?

Mark Sullivan with the Sullivan Generator – classic ST pitch!  He started going on and on about “coriolis effect”, “precipitates”, “and gold . . . G O L D”. 

Love this pitch!  The Sharks were looking at him like who is this guy – Kevin even asked how long he was visiting earth.  They all lost it when he said he writes music, sews women clothing and handbags.  This guy was something else!

I admit, this is most times a “skip” episode for me, but I watched it last night (haven’t in a long time).  There are some funny lines and scenes that I enjoy: 

The hospital waiting room scene with the rolled-in lady patient.  I like to think the writers purposely staged it to float the idea this could be Maris as the Doctor walked right up to Niles with the lady patient – until he said “your wife is in recovery . . .” then walked off. 

Martin’s hospital reunion with Artie Walsh and the barbs they throw at each other. 

At 1901, Daphne trying to appeal to Martin to be nice to Artie.  Martin seems to relent and builds up how he is going to buy Artie a stuffed animal, hug him and never let him go – then blows a raspberry in Daphne’s face. 

The final scene where Martin and Artie are both trying to get in the last word – and old softy Martin let Artie have it.

Watching my nth series restart last night and during Dinner at Eight, I had a thought – when Frasier introduced Niles to Daphne (while she is fluffing his knickers):  what is the age difference there?  As we know, Frasier is 40? 41?, so Niles has to be two to three years younger, perhaps making him 37? 38?.  Daphne is clearly not that old.  Her flightiness and lilting demeanor can give the air of youthfulness, but she isn’t cast as a teen.

 What is your best guess of the age difference between Niles and Daphne?

Ah, Dr. MacLowery - Taps At The Montana!

Love this episode: has a quirky added character and one of the Crane boys' famous disastrous parties!

Post Ray Fleming’s next line (wrong/true/incorrect/funny) – your choice! 

Mine is  “Well, you’re alright, cute enough.  I just need you to help me get rid of my wife.  Oh and I will throw in a discounted therapy rate for you going forward.  How’s that?”

(And Woody isn't in it!)

Daphne is wonderfully soused in this scene and I love how Niles is bobbing his head to her off-key singing as if she is singing a sensational aria!!

"Who's that pretty girl in the mirror there?

What mirror, where?

Who could that attractive girl be?

Which, what, where, who, who, who, who?"

One of the great scenes in this magnificent episode!

"What is it that you feel . . . looooove

That fear which you conceal . . . looooove

That powers that you heal . . . looooove

Reveeeeeal . . . take me in your ARRRRRRMS!"

Martin had RDWRER. Pick a plate for any of our beloved cast members - main or supporting.
