Episode Synopsis |
Kenny hands Frasier some research the station has had commissioned into each show, which finds that Frasier's average listener is an elderly gentlemen that finds comfort in his radio. Frasier brushes off the research, but Kenny wants him to improve his demographic with the younger listeners by appearing on KACL's show for teenagers - 'Teen Scene'. Frasier is somewhat reluctant having had a bad experience once before, but when he meets one of the presenters (and a big fan of his show) Emily, he changes his mind.
Just before he is due to go on, Frasier and Emily are talking when Kirby (interning at the station) come by. It transipres they went to the same school together, but each despises the other. Unpeterburbed by this, the show begins but if Frasier thinks he is in for an easy ride, he is sadly mistaken. Instead, the three presenters use it as a platform to dredge up all the bad things that have happened in Frasier's life (such as his attempted suicide) and force Frasier to explain his actions on air. Luckily, Kirby is listening to all this and provides Frasier in a break with a plethora of information about the presenters background, including who has been cheating on whom.....Also, Niles turns to Roz for advice when he wants to show his love for Daphne in a more exciting way.

Frasier Online Episode Review |
An amiable if rather uninspired episode that has 3 stories, none of which contained many great scenes or lines. My favourite scene is Niles and Eddie trying to steal a street sign, while the best line goes to Niles wondering if wearing scarves is doing something crazy. The rest of the episode seemed rather dull by comparison resulting in a rather run-of-the-mill episode.

Reviewer: Sammy J from Melbourne, Australia |
"Juvenilia" is an average episode of the series with the most bizarre laugh track in the show's eleven-year history. |
