Emmy consideration episodes - Season 1

Postby Whisper of cinnamon » Wed Jun 15, 2011 9:31 am

Hi! This is a great site! You guys have really good discussions!

I think I'm right in saying that 6 episodes are submitted for Emmy consideration for Outstanding Comedy Series. So my question is: if you were going to submit just 6 eps from season 1 for Emmy consideration, which would they be? You could choose your 6 favourite eps, but this is also about choosing 6 eps that you think best show off what the season can do, its different aspects.

Sorry if this idea has been done before, but I couldn't find it!

For me, for season 1 I would choose:

The Good Son - brilliant introduction to all the characters, and just a brilliant ep in its own right!

Here's Looking At You - a really underrated ep that is very funny and shows the warm feeling between the cast.

A Midwinter Night's Dream - this ep really shows how good the Niles/Daphne relationship can be, and it has a really great atmosphere!

Travels with Martin - this just has a really 'classic' feel to it, and shows the relationship between Frasier and Martin well.

Author, Author - this episode really shows the Frasier/Niles rivalry dynamic.

My Coffee with Niles - quite simply, the best comedy half hour I have ever seen! It really shows the sophistication of Frasier, as it's all based around witty dialogue and examination of the characters.

So, what would be your 6 'Emmy consideration' episodes, and why?

Thanks, tenpercenter! My Coffee... really is a special ep, nice to know you agree! :)

Great list, Moon-Crane! :) We have a lot of overlap. Give Him The Chair only just missed my list, too, a nice mix of humour with a touch of poignancy, and I can see how Dinner at Eight is really good for showing the dynamic between Martin and his sons, whilst Frasier Crane's Day Off really shows off Kelsey's comic abilities!

Are Frasier eps really being considered for Emmys? :)
Niles: As some illustrious person once said, popularity is the hallmark of mediocrity.

No, this is just a bit of fun, but Frasier did win a record 37 Emmy awards during it's run.
