Episode Synopsis |
Frasier is in two minds about whether to start doing on-air endorsements
of products that as Frasier turns down, Bulldog laps up. After speaking
with Martin and Daphne, he agrees to try out the product first before
endorsing it. Bulldog's agent, Bebe Glazer, then introduces herself and
starts finding him new products. He balks, though, at an advert for a
can of nuts but his mind is changed when he finds out it is for television.
Just before it is about to be filmed, Frasier is still in a moral quandry
and meets with Niles to talk about it. What will Frasier finally decide
to do?

Episode Highlights |
- A caller wants Frasier to help him decide whether he should
call his boat 'Lulubelle' or 'The Intrepid':
Frasier: Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible
piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope.
Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually
see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of
our universe. Roger, if I were using that microscope right now... I still
wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your problem. Thank you for
your call.
- After Bulldog does a Chinese restaurant advert:
Roz: We're gonna get sued this time for sure!
Frasier: How would you feel if I publicly endorsed a product?
Daphne: Oh, you mean like Cher does?
Frasier: Thank you Daphne - one against.
- Referring to 'Basic Instinct':
Niles: Have you seen that film? Maris and I rented it. I don't
mind telling you we pushed our beds together that night. And that was
no mean feat - as you know my bed is across the hall from hers.
Frasier Online Episode Review |
The introduction to the show of Bebe Glazer, and while it's not as good as some as some of the later Bebe episodes, they are some funny moments here - I liked the way she managed to convince Frasuer to do the advert for canned nuts despite Frasier's better instincts. Thankfully, Harriet Sansom Harris got a very favourable reaction to her perfomance in this episode and kick started her relationship with the show, so for that we should be grateful, but a sharper script would have helped make this a better episode

Reviewer: Sammy J from Canberra, Australia |
"Selling Out" has only one con: it's a bit predictable. But if you can |
