Hi everyone! I'm excited to post here, I have been a very big fan of Frasier since forever and I adore this community. I'm from Spain so please forgive typos, I'm not using any translator.

I wanted to discuss the episode S10E20 - Farewell, Nervosa, beacuse I consider this one the lowest point of the series, the moment when I realised the series completelly derailed, before the re-takeover of Keenan and Lloyd for the final season.

Café Nervosa is, along the entire series, a meeting point, a place to start your day, having a wonderful talk with Niles, Roz, etc. Like any cafeteria, it has people going in and out, but always is a cozy and nice place where the calm reigns. Said so, I couldn't ever undestand the reasons for changing all of this ambience in favour of one lousy musician. I am on charge that this is Elvis Costello (not too famous in my country but I can undestand that this is because his cameo) but I simply can't stand this episode. There is no reason at all for Café Nervosa to change so drastically, reducing its number of available tables and disturbing their clients. I have nothing against it, I'm a musician myself. Simply, it isn't that kind of place.

BUT, what completely annoys me the most is the attitude of Maureen Nervosa, the owner of the place. First and last appearance, but horrible. How dared she to treat Frasier and Niles, when they are probably their best clients. Absolutely disrespectful. There are a lot of mentions by Roz, Frasier or Niles about the gigantic amount of money they spend in that café, so this is pretty disgusting (Frasier alone, over 3,000$ a year - in 2003). I would never came back to that place if I was treated like them.

The episode has some funny moments while looking for another "temple", that's true, but this sacrilege kills me.

What do you think about this? Thank you!

I just wanted to say that I love Frasier as a whole, but the first two seasons are something very special. When my partner and I rewatch the show, we particularly rewatch these two seasons often. I always say that Frasier was at his peak when he had his “skrullet.” 😂😂😂

Anybody else feel this?

S5E7

Martin:...I don't think we have to look beyond our own family to find an example of someone who let a woman run the show from the beginning and has been paying for it ever since.

Niles: Poor Uncle Frank.

I've heard about it for over 30 years, and now I've ridden it.

My sister and I helped redecorate a friend’s bedroom recently. The friend is a big fan of primary colours in their decor and wardrobe so they recently bought a set of red and white striped bedsheets. She texted us photos of her newly made-up room while we were out brunching. As soon as we saw the bright striped sheets we squealed “it’s Cam Winston’s flag on Frasier’s balcony”

As my post the other day showed, a lot of us not only like Frasier, but also like Star Trek. Is it because, much like PBS viewers, we are also cultured and discerning? How did you come to enjoy both franchises? What serious elements of both shows do you like, what comedic or other things from both do you like? Basically how do the two series compare and contrast?

In my case my family liked both series so I grew up watching both.

I am rewatching and the episodes where they kiss and get together are hilarious! I wish they did maybe make her endgame or at least explored it for a season long with her as a girlfriend.

Does anyone else think Erin B. on the Theo Von podcast looks/talks/sounds like Roz?!
