Frasier (1993) commentary: S11E22 Crock Tales

Watch along with us as we go back in time exactly 21 years to the penultimate Frasier (1993) episode. What a crock! What's a crock?

S2E9: Murder Most Finch (with Marlessa from Sitcom Studies)

Holly catches up on the events of the season. Disaster strikes when a perfectly good olive oil tasting party turns out to be a murder mystery game night. Frasier is visited by ten plagues. Hosts Leila and Lucas get an Everybody Loves Raymond lesson.

S1E8: Thank You, Dr. Crane

(Some of) the old supporting cast returns to justify one of them staying on this show. Is 23 too young to be a married magician with multiple children? Is this episode a moving reflection of the twisted paths of our own lives? Is it a cynical story contrivance that loses momentum just when FRASIER (2023) needs it most? Is it both? Leila and Lucas investigate.

Talk with Frasier On Film

Ben Murray from the Frasier On Film podcast joins Leila and Lucas for a discussion of all things Frasier. Listen to Frasier On Film wherever you listen to us, starting right here.

CHEERS commentary: Bar Wars VII: The Naked Prey

Time-travel with us to St. Patrick's Day 1993 for the final installment of Bar Wars (we haven't seen any of the earlier ones).

S2E7: My Brilliant Sister

Frasier and guest star Yvette Nicole Brown see eye to eye on pizza bagels. An improv teams forms spontaneously. Your hosts talk I Love Lucy, Gilmore Girls, and occasionally Frasier (2023). The Star Trek Hour returns.

S2E6: Cape Cod

You'll never guess where this one takes place. Everyone tries to pair off for that famous romantic holiday, July 4th. Your hosts Leila and Lucas talk Felix Mendelssohn and fridge pants.

Anders Keith interview

We talk to Anders Keith (David (no relation to Keith David)) about his influences, his colleagues, himself, and video games both real and fictitious. Recorded prior to Paramount+’s latest rash and bloody deed.

Mid-season debrief

Your hosts go to an experimental New York theater piece, acknowledge the apparent but not definite end of Frasier (2023-), and update you on the schedule for the near future of this podcast. Is this the shape of things to come? Yeah, it is.

S2E5: The Squash Courtship of Freddy's Father

Frasier revisits a torrid affair and his horrid short shorts. Harriet Sansom Harris (returning from the original) and Rachel Bloom (promoted from super-fan) have a talking-like-this contest. Your hosts Lucas and Leila demand that someone pay attention to David.
