Frasier 05/04/04

Since it's the second-to-last episode, I thought this one deserved a mention here.

Just a great one last night. Not only plenty of good laughs, but a nice review of the last 11 seasons without retreading too much. The characters have changed, the relations have changed and the looks have changed, but they've stuck together. It did feel a little like a "what haven't we done in 11 years and would like to do" collection episode. I especially felt that when they got locked out. That balcony has been underused over the years!

Ironically, I just started to create a Frasier thread before I refreshed and saw this one. It's really sad how much NBC has their head up Friends's ass as it whimpers out on an unfunny and manipulatingly ineffective sentimental note ... meanwhile, Frasier's sharp wit is as strong as its ever been, and no one -- including NBC -- seems to notice.

As for last night, I thought it was a cute way to do the penultimate episode. Although it's way past time for this series to end, I'm really going to miss its brand of comedy.

Agreed with das here. Haven't seen this particular episode yet, but folks who tuned out of Frasier after the past few seasons have missed out on a nice rebirth for the final season.

It's time to go, but it's ending on a high note. Kudos to them for that. In its prime, Frasier was the best sitcom on TV.

I read an article the other day saying Grammer wanted to continue. There were some talks about another spin-off moving Frasier to a different city, without his family. NBC sounds like they passed, but it could be shopped elsewhere. Although I would like to see Frasier Crane take over sole possession of the longest running primetime character, that's about the only reason to continue.

I wouldn't mind seeing Frasier and Joey though.

I liked this episode. I too am going to miss this series. I hope that all of them land big again somewhere else.
