The Frasier Rewatch

[Athena]

If you are interested in rewatching the original show, we can organize it in this thread. Please feel free to suggest possible schedules, must watch episodes, etc. I could also create Season threads if there is enough interest as well.

Back to my Season 9 rewatch.

Daphne's reverse proposal?  Re-proposal? back to Niles after Niles found her father was very sweet.

And I liked watching Cora and Frasier trick Martin and Cam, that was really fun, until Cora and Martin's kiss which unfortunately was made incredibly awkward by John Mahoney.  LOL.

Watching Frasier and Roz talk FOR AN ENTIRE EPISODE about how they had sex the previous one was so uncomfortable. I wonder if anyone on the planet was ever asking for the two of them to hook up.  It's not as bad as Rachel Green and Joey Tribbiani, but it's close.

I love that scene so much. The way Niles just wordlessly grabs Daphne's hand and leads her out of the apartment so they can go elope...<3.

Ha, eh, I've come across a few Frasier/Roz shippers out there, so yeah, they exist :D. I personally don't mind the idea, either, though I also totally understand and respect the show ultimately deciding not to go that route, for a whole host of reasons.

I do love Frasier working to make sure things between him and Roz are okay after all of that :). He's so worried that their friendship's been completely ruined and it's really touching to see how much he cares about her and doesn't want to risk losing that bond.

I noticed in a rerun tonight on COZI that the guest caller was Brooke Adams. Some years ago, that would have meant nothing to me, but since I've been binging on Monk, I know she is married to Tony Shaloub. She had a role in "Mr. Monk and the Kid".

Is this where we just talk about the show now? Because the algorithm did its job and served this up to me: 

It got me thinking about where I would want to eat in Frasier's Seattle. It would be hard to pass up the chance to have a dessert made by Faye, Fabulous Faye, so I'd probably go for Le Cigare Volant. But I'd hate to miss out on whatever the experience is at The Salad Experience, so it's a tough choice.

I'm a romantic and a dyed-in the wool shipper, but I never wanted Frasier and Roz to be a couple. To me they're not even compatible as opposites who complement each other. But (eventually) (and most of the time lol) they're great friends. But I can accept that the show had them sleep together once and talk it over so it never needed to come up again. Kind of like Lilith and Niles; they needed each other in that brief moment, but ultimately it didn't change their relationship.

If this is only on paramount, then I can't do a re-watch. I don't have cable.

I'd be willing to give Farmer Jack's Chicken Chicken Chicken a try (I think that's the name).

It’s also on Hulu and Peacock. But it is leaving Peacock in 5 days.

Don't overlook your library. Mine has all 11 seasons on DVD.

I'd grab a bite at The Timber Mill. I'll make sure to leave my tie at home, enjoy the salad bar (one trip only, please), and ask them to leave bacon bits off my baked potato (I don't eat bacon because of the nitrates).

That would be my pick, too. It just seems like the sort of restaurant I could see my family going to for dinner. I bet they'd have good French fries or burgers or something. 

Plus, I don't wear ties, so I wouldn't have to worry about anyone cutting mine off when I arrived :p.

I never got into into when it first came out, but now find myself watching it and liking it, on Cozi TV.  There was an eery coincidence in an episode I just saw.  In the episode where Frasier meets an unknown woman, who leaves voice mails, at the airport, the woman’s voice says she’s arriving on American Airline flight 11, which just a few years later was one of the planes/flights involved in 9/11.  Chilling.

My mom and I also caught the episode last week where they had Frasier Crane Day to celebrate Frasier's 1,000th radio broadcast. At the end of the episode, they showed clips from an actual Frasier Crane Day event that the cast held in Seattle. 

The date of that particular Frasier Crane Day celebration?

September 11th, 1997.

Another irony… the producer of the show was killed on the AA flight 11 on 9/11, heading to LAX that dreadful morning.  It was the Boston to LAX route.
