What's new? I'm listening. Feeling blue? I'm listening. Feeling mad, feeling sad, feeling bad, feeling glad, I'm listening!

Frasier and Everybody Loves Raymond were two of my all time favorites. And I liked Niles and Robert better than Frasier and Raymond.

I never liked it quite as much after Niles and Maris split up. My favourite parts were when Niles came in and talked about the latest preposterous thing she had been saying or doing.

Nightmare Inn has to be about the best segment in the whole series.
"Look out, he's got a nug!"
"The final bullet BLEW his head clean off his shoulders!"
"Hi ho, I'm the ice cream man!"

I always remember the episode where Frasier changed out his Dad's favourite old chair and got him some new fangled high-end job. What a disaster!
I related to that only too well!

I just re-watched "The Ski Lodge." Marvellous episode--it has to be one of the greatest episodes in comedy TV history. Beautifully done, beautifully acted, beautifully timed--and hilarious. What a great show.

That’s one of the episodes I thought of when I mentioned (somewhere on here) that at least one of the writers for Frasier had to be interested in golden-age detective stories. The play in which the teacher makes him act is Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians; in “Ham Radio,” mentioned before, “Nightmare Inn” is a parody of ‘40s radio mysteries; “Retirement is Murder” is a full-on, fair-play detective story with a false solution (the monkey!) and an ingenious dying clue (“HELP”); the one where Frasier dreams himself in a hotel room with Gil Chesterton also functions as a mystery, as they work through every possible interpretation and use logical reasoning to come up with an unexpected-but-inevitable solution. And then, of course, the very concept (snobbish son in city fancy apartment with working-class cop father) seems to come directly from Ellery Queen (John Mahoney would have been a superb Richard Queen), and the style of humor (in which incident builds on incident to end up with a surprise conclusion) is similar to detective stories. EDIT: Another one, in which they all play the “Murder” game and Frasier plays detective.

I don’t know if I’m the only one who’s interested, but another piece of evidence for my theory: “Deathtrap” (Season 9, Episode 19).

And another one: in the episode “I’m Listening,” one of the writer’s titles makes reference to one of my longtime favorite cinematic whodunits, The Last of Sheila. EDIT: And I just remembered another: in “The Placeholder,” there’s an utterly brilliant brick joke based on wordplay that is akin to so many Ellery Queen mysteries (used there as a clue instead of a joke).

Frasier was a great show.
I think season 1-5 of Cheers was better than Frasier. But i think Frasier is better than season 6-10 of Cheers.

Thank you for letting us know, NewtJorden , and I’m so sorry to hear it. It’s a bit of a shock; I was just watching Frasier last night, for the first time in ages, and enjoying it so much. I can’t believe how coincidental and how sad it is. And I recently read an interview in which Grammer said he wanted a Frasier reunion show and had to coordinate it with Hyde-Pierce, Mahoney, and all of them. Dear God. RIP John Mahoney.
