Actual Season 1 Frasier isn't a wig. Its called a Natural Skullet since he's advanced balding and the remaining hair forms a mullet without the front. Thus, Skullet.
honestly he doesn't pull it off, the long hair looks stupid on him. I will however say that frasier looks great despite balding. In fact, I wouldn't even call him balding. He's a frickin norwood enjoyer.
I mean I'd just serve a fino/manzanilla sherry in little 3oz aperitif glasses from a bottle in the fridge, along with some salty curred meats/cheese before dinner
If it was me
If it *were* you.
Why did Niles always look like this? Even then an ill fitting suit was a faux pas
But Niles looked great especially in that one grey power suit. I think it was Armani but I'm not sure. I mean it still looked a bit off on him but for some reason I think it worked.
frasier, mix all your drinks together into one mega-maxi-wienertail. get the big punchbowl. we're going to drink until we can't tell the difference between rigoletto and risotto.
>can't tell the difference between rigoletto and risotto. >But Fraser, one is a pathetic clown and the other a tepid, bland dish >Please Niles, were not talking about your marriage
As a bachelor, the Shangri La seems like a pretty cool place to live >fun neighbors who bring you a welcome basket with wine coolers >rec room with pinball machine (rigged for free play all night) >murphy bed for maximum space saving >free aloha shirts when moving in
The last season is good. There are some good episodes but the dip is noticeable enough that I remembered being bored fairly consistently.
For the final season they lured back their two top writers who left after season 7 and after some seasons with too many bad storylines and characters, deliberately tried to do a back-to-basics season with a lot of classic Frasier episode formulas (the third episode is a farce about Frasier being mistaken for gay), and it worked. I'm still glad they ended it there, though.
No, that's season 7 ("Out With Dad"). Same writer, though, Joe Keenan. When he first joined the staff he wrote the episode where Frasier's boss thinks he's dating Frasier while Frasier thinks he's dating Daphne, and "mistaken identity gay farce" became enough of his trademark that it was the frist thing he wrote on coming back to the show in the last season.

Ah, I really should brush up on the behind-the-scenes production lore. That's interesting how a writer could define himself by such a narrow trademark yet knock it out of the park.

His other niche was Bebe. She was there before he arrived but in seasons 2-5 Keenan wrote a Bebe episode every year.

Hm, the Bebe episodes that I remember don't stick out in terms of their quality (or I might be conflating them with Frederick episodes). The first ever episode I watched was "My Coffee with Niles" which, in retrospect, seemed tailor-made for new viewers — though I believe it was a season finale. Funny how such interests begin...
You’re insane. The overall arc of the show kinda shits the bed once daphne and Niles hook up but they’re still a good amount of great episodes. “ The Doctor is Out” definitely comes to mind.
So not worth to finish? Do the late seasons have any good episodes at all? I stopped watching Frasier around season 4
They sherry on this show is for the most part bullshit
Frasier talks about amontillado, but they are never drinking that in the show, which is a more amber colored liquid
There's the other scene where you see Fraiser filling his decanter with a bottle of HaRvEY's BRisToL CrEAm which is fricking unconscionable
Most of the time, it looks like their drink a dry fino sherry (pale yellow), which theoretically could be kept for a few days in a cool room-temperature decanter, but it would need to be replaced frequently, which I guess it could be
Overall, the show handles sherry abysmally
It should probably be little snifter glasses of a high quality brandy (the brand/vintage could be off-handedly mentioned in some episode, for style points)
It could sit in an air-tight container on a shelf like Fraiser keeps his sherry plausibly, and be a good apertif for dine in guests or pre-concert soirees
I mean I'd just serve a fino/manzanilla sherry in little 3oz aperitif glasses from a bottle in the fridge, along with some salty curred meats/cheese before dinner
If it was me
Yea I guess not, beer wine or spirits, those weird gay drinks like brandy sherry port etc. I really havent encountered anyone under the age of 60 who drinks them
Hoesntly wienertails are the best drinks, but it’s impossible to get a good basic one.
Either it’s made with well quality spirits, or they try to make it so hipster it has 12 ingredients.
A foamy shaken poured drink with tangerine liquor and some gin and orange liquor is an amazing little thing.
Yea I hate that shit really I always try them but it's not for me, my wife drinks them I just drink beer or bourbon whiskey scotch on the rocks or with coke coz I like coke or red wine, tho that said I have an alcohol problem anyway so I hardly drink anymore anon

I was alive and even then it was a bit odd. I guess not so odd as it'd be now. Maybe the baggy style of casual clothing had to do with it but we had tailors
Can tell by the lapels in one of the above pictures they were, as was de rigeur, wearing Armani (or Armani-style) suits, which were a reaction against the flared or close fitting lines of suits of the 70s and 60s respectively. They were loose, drape style cuts often double breasted. They suited a larger frame, less so a thin one like Niles (much how slim fitting suits of the recent generation didn't suit big guys.) Niles did himself no favors by choosing the more fastidious double-breasted suits as opposed to frasier's single.The nature of style, especially for men's business casual-to-formal wear, is that of a generational trend rather than one that each individual decides suits themselves, pardon the pun. Sometimes one suits the prevailing style, sometimes not, but they had quality suits that were the best of that generation.
I recall him looking very smart most of the time.
I think the style of the ti- well, of the time they wanted to look like, was to look big and wide or something.
I sincerely hope you're intoxicated because if you weren't your post would be extremely embarrasing (and if you are drunk, then it's based). So, which is it?
>its another "niles bes an incel as frasier consoles him even though he's an incel too and daphne says oi mate, fancy taking of my knickers and havin a shag or not" episode
Sherry sucks, but the giant barrels they age sherry in are used in the production of Scotch whisky. Sherry has been dropping in popularity for decades, which makes good sherry casks harder to find and more expensive for scotch distillers. I admire that Frasier tried to bring sherry back, also that Frasier had a Glenfarclas 25 year.
Sherry barrels are often just seasoned with sherry destined for vinegar. Some bodegas' business is basically seasoning barrels for a short time with cheap sherry for whiskey distillers to reuse. Even big name brands that charge a premium for their barrel aging were just seasoned with immature sherry that was never bottled. The reason sherry casks are scarce whereas they once were plentiful is simply a matter of barrels no longer being used for transport. That was why there were so many decent barrels floating around 100 years ago, though they were just used for economic reasons--they weren't very expensive to buy used. Today and in the past, almost all sherry bodegas reuse and recondition their aging barrels over and over again. The reconditioning involves sterilising the barrels with a sulfur candle; when those barrels are spent they fricking reek but they're nonetheless sold off the distillers---in fact, almost all barrels, real barrels used for aging or merely seasoned barrels purchased from vinegar distillers by big brands, are sterilised with sulfur before shipping to prevent mold and whatever. It's a disgusting thing all around and sherry barrel aging is almost always some bullshit marketing; if not that, they're extremely expensive when someone can find legit casks that were truly used for aging a quality spirit/wine for a productive length of time, or Bourbon barrel aged which is legit because they're the only distilleries that have a surplus of quality barrels as they are only allowed to use them once for Bourbon so produce a huge supply.
Yeah it does. It is one very small step above a dessert wine. Always struck me as weird that Frasier had this thing with sherry because it is weak and overly sweet and really not something you would ever offer a guest.
They are really going to miss out on plot points in the renewed series if it doesnt have frasier open a cabinet and pull out a cassette and start listening to one of his out broadcasts as a sad ending to episode

DON'T MIND IF I DO
What do you need to pull off that hairstyle? Be over 6´4?
If not you just look like that fat goblin Wallace Shawn in My Dinner with Andre.
You think he looks good there? How jacked up are you?
It's a wig
is that from the fake flashback episode?
Probably, the lighting's different and he looks older.
Yes
yeah, It's from the cheese jar episode

i just torrented this show last night
gonna rewatch
Make sure it's the blu ray
it is, here's a screenshot
Why isn't Frasier more regarded? people seem to talk about Seinfeld more
Where have you been? Frasier stock mooned 2021/2022.
Not sure about Seinfeld, but Frasier is only really great for the first 6 seasons, after that the quality starts to drop
So not worth to finish? Do the late seasons have any good episodes at all? I stopped watching Frasier around season 4
Seasons 7 and 11 are alright, season 8 has a few good episodes, and seasons 9 and especially 10 are the worst
The last season is good. There are some good episodes but the dip is noticeable enough that I remembered being bored fairly consistently.
For the final season they lured back their two top writers who left after season 7 and after some seasons with too many bad storylines and characters, deliberately tried to do a back-to-basics season with a lot of classic Frasier episode formulas (the third episode is a farce about Frasier being mistaken for gay), and it worked. I'm still glad they ended it there, though.
>Frasier being gay
Is that the gay opera episode? If so, that's a remarkably great episode for such a late season.
>She's no Renata Tebaldi
No, that's season 7 ("Out With Dad"). Same writer, though, Joe Keenan.

Why did Niles always look like this? Even then an ill fitting suit was a faux pas
It was the 90s/early 00s, people liked wearing oversized suits for some reason
I was alive and even then it was a bit odd. I guess not so odd as it'd be now. Maybe the baggy style of casual clothing had to do with it but we had tailors
That's what's known as a knee-length easter suit in the black community. Also, informally, as a Steve Harvey suit.
Can tell by the lapels in one of the above pictures they were, as was de rigeur, wearing Armani (or Armani-style) suits, which were a reaction against the flared or close fitting lines of suits of the 70s and 60s respectively.

Yeah it does. It is one very small step above a dessert wine. Always struck me as weird that Frasier had this thing with sherry because it is weak and overly sweet and really not something you would ever offer a guest.
At what point does the super sweetness of sherry start tasting nice?
Not all sherry is sweet. I'd say it never gets all that pleasant on the sweet end, and it's better dry or off-dry.
I want to try cream sherry, got a medium-dry a while back and it was like drinking liquid raisins
Cream is sweet, too. My favorite is a good Amontillado, as it has a definite sherry character but is drinkable almost like white wine.
What a terrible chart. "Frasier Crane enormous ass contest" is only OK?!
holy frick
Worth the read. Even if you've already read it.
i want this to be true so badly
even if it's not what a fun believable story. my fav greentext ever i think
>no Niles in the new Frasier show
Why even bother?
We just got to be satisfied with Niles's final outing.
what's that episode about the comical misunderstanding
For me it's the episode where Frasier completes his NA SNES collection by selling his prizes bottle of sherry.
They are really going to miss out on plot points in the renewed series if it doesnt have frasier open a cabinet and pull out a cassette and start listening to one of his out broadcasts as a sad ending to episode

Garbage show for pretentious midwits.
Frasier and Niles's pretention is the butt of the joke. If you really think the show itself is pretentious your IQ has never surpassed the temperature
