I mentioned that earlier in the thread. I put that down to it being the pilot episode, and them not having the set's geography completely worked out yet.


Indeed you did. Sorry. I didn't go back up to the top of the thread.

1 episode, I think the one where Niles in season 6 invites her to his new cabin:

Roz: I'm not that refined.

Season 6, Episode 17

Roz: I'm just as refined as you are Frasier.

She's being sarcastic when she says that. And in the second instance, she's mad because she was just dissed by Frasier and Niles regarding the dinner party. If you ever get that chance to the outtakes from that episodes, it's one of my favorites. Peri cannot say that line correctly and when she screws it up she starts laughing and says "F..k me!" It's hysterical.

Frasier: I'm a one woman man
~ Ssn 6, Ep 21

Frasier is constantly chasing many women at the same time and saying how it's the greatest thing to have multiple women after him.
He also can sleep with one woman, and when she's out of sight meet another woman and completely forget about the first woman.

Frasier's personality doesn't even make sense.

For a man with such scrutinous ethics, Frasier is never ever honest with a woman.

Yeah, he has a few ethical lapses for comical effect. I just watched The Unkindest Cut of All fromS2 and he tries to persuade a caller on the verge of a nervous breakdown to take one of Eddie's 'Mongrel Seed' off his hands.

That cracks me up and for some reason it seems to work better because the caller's voice is Lily Tomlin.

The business of Gertrude assuming Daphne is a virgin is absurd. Firstly, given the amount of dating on Frasier, virginity isn't that common in their work and social circles. Secondly, Daphne is hardly a teenager. Thirdly, and at the risk of slagging off my own country, the UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe. Partly, it's because of the drinking culture that starts when most kids are in their mid teens. As we know, Gertrude likes a drink herself and her husband is an habitual boozer. All of this makes it unlikely that Daphe would be a virgin. Finally, there is no cultural equivalent amongst our teenagers of that whole purity/no sex before marriage vow that some US teens make.

I agree with you. That sub-plot/story has always got on my nerves.

Now, this morning, I'm going to be making my signature breakfast for you-- that's eggs palermo fontana

Eggs Polermo Fontana? Pretty sure that doesn't exist.

Probably because Simon didn't care about or listen to anything anybody said to him, because he was drunk. :lol:

True, I suppose Frasier just knew better than to ask a futile question.

In Season 9 Episode 8, concerning the lost show #897.

If Daphne had been honest, even if the tape was broken, you can splice tape, and even fit the tap wheels into a new cassette
chassis.

Tapes that have been chewed up by the players are pretty damn difficult to fix.

No. I've attempted exactly what you've said many, many, many times over the years. The tapes are never the same again.

A chewed time generally only kills a few seconds, which you can splice :P
Then the rest is just fine. Unless your tape player is a dog...

Obviously you've not experienced a true tape eating tape player. They are not salvagable.

This is really a ridiculous debate! :lol:

Hehe, I've definitely experienced that unsalvageable tape moment. Whether or not Daphne really got to that stage is unknown, but i can believe it could well have, so i'm happy to give her the benfit of the doubt :lol:
