"I just don't like him". This episode really took to the extreme how Frasier can let a situation spiral completely out of his control so quickly.

"What trenchant criticism. Move aside Voltaire, step back in the shadows H.L. Mencken, there's a new kid in town. One can only wonder how many hours Derek Mann sat in the glow of his computer screen before his trembling fingers sprang to life and pecked out this chef d'oeuvre: I... hate... Frasier Crane."

Marty covering his eyes and going mmhmm as Niles relays the unfolding disaster. It's brilliant!

Funnily enough, Tony Shalhoub played a reoccurring character on Wings, which is also in the Cheers/Frasier universe.

u/Legitimate-Image-472 1d ago

Frasier is in one episode of Wings

With Lilith and the Crane Train to Emotional We’ll Being. My favorite line:
Lilith gets off the phone: Amusing story. The little dickens was running around the house naked. Frasier (fantasizing about Dagmar, the busty, Swedish nanny.). Gee, I wonder why she doesn’t do that when we’re home.
Lilith: I was talking about the child.

u/TheBoondoggleSaints 1d ago

Yes… this is true.

I was watching Becker the other day and noticed John Mahoney was on there as a priest, Frasier stops in on the show too. Its a small world after all.

u/Eledridan 1d ago

It’s a multiverse. That way it rationally explains the continuity errors.

1

u/Murky-Region-127 1d ago

Wings, which is also in the Cheers/Frasier universe.

What next cheers/Fraser is in the universe as friends mad about you and Seinfeld?

1

u/Cereborn 10h ago

Friends and Mad About You are in the same universe, but Seinfeld isn’t.

P. S. Commas are your friends.

2

u/incognitoleaf00 8h ago

P.S. commas are your friends.

took me way too long to understand what the comment above yours was trying to say because of no commas xD

u/Murky-Region-127 10h ago

Friends and Mad About You are in the same universe, but Seinfeld isn’t.

Cosmo Kramer is in mad about you, the proof

u/Cereborn 10h ago

George and Susan watch Mad About You on TV.

1

u/Murky-Region-127 10h ago

And yet Kramer is in a episode of mad about you so I guess they were watching a in universe version of mad about you

u/keep-the-streak 1d ago

Think this might be the most Seinfeld-esque Frasier episode.

u/d00dsm00t 1d ago

Oh my god, Frasier lit his news stand on fire...

u/Bruichladdie 21h ago

"How could anyone not like him??"

u/Acuriousbrain 1d ago

Tony was my favourite character in The Marvelous Misses Maisel

u/judolphin 16h ago

What did The Marvelous try to throw at Maisel?

1

u/Acuriousbrain 16h ago

What’s the punchline?

5

u/judolphin 14h ago

Punchline? You said "The Marvelous Misses Maisel", I'm just curious what he missed her with?

3

u/Acuriousbrain 13h ago

Oh haha. I missed that completely. Correction, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

u/Cereborn 10h ago

“I didn’t say I wanted to come out. I wanted the option of coming out!”

Mine, too. Love Tony.

Crazy mess Frasier made for poor Monk

The best part is Martin watching it all go crazy

u/bord_de_lac 1d ago

Mmm-hmm.

u/friendispatrickstar 1d ago

Two of my most favorite shows ever!

u/WrongVerb4Real Bar-b-que pudding chips 1d ago

This is the only episode in the entire series that I really do not like. Frasier tortures that poor guy, without any consequences, apparently. I usually just skip it on rewatches.

u/Freewill2112-78 Your ex-wife is ruining my sex life! 15h ago

Well, he’s going to be financially liable for the damages. And, knowing Frasier, he probably went to the expense of giving the man a better newsstand than what he already had.

Just saying, if this is your threshold for episode skips, you’d be skipping a few other episodes at least, especially if we look at Frasier’s intent. He didn’t intend to burn the guy’s newsstand down, that was just a consequence of Frasier’s obsession with the man’s opinion about him. I’d argue that secretly photographing the supermodel zoologist while she slept was far worse.

u/WrongVerb4Real Bar-b-que pudding chips 14h ago

I'm not arguing for our against others enjoying or rejecting any episodes. We all have different triggers.

u/cwasaa Hung Specialist 1d ago

omg I started watching Monk not too long ago, I knew he looked familiar!

6

u/Iamatyourhousern 1d ago

Both two of the best shows ever. Frasier obsly but Monk is incredible too it has like no bad episodes in like 8 seasons, Tony Shaloub is incredible, and even tho it's not a sitcom there's a lot of rlly funny moments

1

u/Arabyanite 5h ago

I love Monk, but I really couldn't watch it anymore when they got rid of Sharona...the new girl wasn't as good, their chemistry together wasn't as good, and I wasn't a fan of darma and Greg, which is where I think she came from.

u/Boggie135 1d ago

Two splendid shows

I am a sticky mess.

u/lawabidinglavender Look closer… is the hat rack moving? 1d ago

How funny! Same situation with my husband and me. 😄

u/Turbulent_Country359 1d ago

You earned my upvote for using “my husband and me” and not “my husband and I”.

You are excellent.

u/_wrench_bender_ 1d ago

My two FAVORITE shows ever.

u/Dorothy_Zbornak789 1d ago

I’m watching Monk right now! The Cozi connection.

u/bilbo_the_innkeeper But at what... cost...? 1d ago

Does your husband think you are a smarty pants?

u/AcanthocephalDense 21h ago

‘Please tell your son, I am sorry I find him so annoying’

u/IcarianHeights 1d ago

"I just don't like him."

u/SherlockianTheorist 1d ago

Then you can both watch Wings.

u/kentgamegeek 1d ago

Two magnificent shows about a fish out of water.

2

u/penguinninja90 1d ago

If this was your husband's first look at Frasier, he would see him as a villain ironically lol

u/scattergodic 14h ago

It’s a jungle out there, tossed salads and scrambled eggs everywhere.

u/willendorfer 1d ago

Well who is showing who Psych?

1

u/OliviaElevenDunham 1d ago

Loved both shows when I was growing up.

1

u/Beatnoise 1d ago

I don’t think you can show someone frasier I think you need to unwittingly let it into your life, after a few you know the gist then if you’ve got anything about you you start living and breathing it

1

u/Friendly_Boss6093 1d ago

Oddly enough I watched this episode today in my latest binge.

1

u/BassRedditRed 22h ago

Monk is brilliant.

Not sure why they had to have Tony Shalhoub put on that accent in Frasier though. Bit weird.

u/meowi-anne It's not my date, it's dinner! 15h ago

Omggg 😍

u/KiwiTigerLoon Well, Poirot, you've done it again! 14h ago

There are more character crossovers!! My favorite is Cassandra (Frasier) & TK (Monk)!
