I don't think I can pick just one!

Lilith is by far my favorite recurring character.

The whole scene when she shows up in her slinky little black dress in Room Service is great. Getting just the reaction she wanted out of Frasier. "Oh Baby!"

I also love some of the more tender moments between Frasier and Lilith. In The Show Where Lilith Comes Back after she breaks down and Frasier walks her over to the mirror and tells her what a strong, independent woman she is. In fact, her breakdown in that episode is perfect moment. When she tells Frasier that she's scared. It's part of what makes the episode one of my all time favorites.

Her scenes with Niles in The Apparent Trap are fun too.

She's just a fun character.

When she wakes up in bed with Niles in Room Service. The horrified looks on both their faces crack me up every time! :lol:

She's even great in the closing credits of that episode. Eating her breakfast in the bathroom!

Frasier: Why is the breakfast cart in the bathroom?
Lilith: I was going to take a bath while I eat my breakfast.
Frasier: But still! Food, in the bathroom?

The entire scene in Room Service after Frasier finds out. The way she delivers the "I have never been more in need of validation...." speech is excellent and I love the way she stands up to Frasier "what a crock!" and rebutts his argument. Polite sitcom speak for 'bullshit you egotistical bastard!'. Don't get me wrong I love Frasier (she says hurridley to avoid black eye from CNR) :) but I just think it's great at showing that Lilith unlike Niles has the power to really take him down a peg or two!

Oh must add the look on Niles' face after Frasier gives his interpretation of why it happened is perfect. Like totally confused, disagrees, but also like he actually consides it for a moment. Where as Lilith just walks up and calls him on it instantly Niles puts weight in it, could that be it? Is big brother right? Kinda thing. I think he does a little exhale of breath there too. Ah I'm not doing it justice but it's great acting and yes I maybe focus on DHP a bit too much and may have read too much into it but sorry its adorable!

That's one of my favorite things about Lilith! She puts Frasier in his place.

Congratulations Frasier! You've just led another unsuspecting person down one of your dark dead end Freudian hallways! :lol: :lol:

That and the line about hoping to hear him introduce Pearl Jams latest hits!

Ahh, it's good to be back, pc broke so had nowhere to post... :cry:

Anyway, fave Lilith moment...I love her quoting Maris' wedding vows:

The Show where Lilith comes back is hilarious, i love Lilith she is so funny and her stranglehold on the whole Crane family is brilliant..

My favourite moment of her in Frasier is in 'The show where lilith comes back'

Frasier- "Seattle, we have a celebrity in our studio, my ex wife Lilith Sternan"

Lilith Sternan- " What do you mean by celebrity?"

Frasier-"Oh they know you"

Brilliant, thats just off the top of my head, the show where Frasier and Lilith pull together to get Freddie into a distinguished prep school or pre school???? is brilliant too
mmmmmm...Whats that i smell? Probably Japan

A Lilith Thanksgiving

That episode actually has one of my favorite Niles bits in it. The whole thing with him and the turkey is funny. And the look on his face when the turkey disappears (as Frasier and Lilith have taken it to the headmaster's house) Great episode!

Room Service has a few but there's a lot in Cheers I like such as when she's on a chat show and practically mounts Mayday Malone. The ice queen she is.

That chat show episode of Cheers if funny. There's another one where she is climbing all over Sam as well. It's one where she's trying to make Frasier jealous but it takes him forever to show up (they're at the Cape or something). It's really funny.

And of course the whole Abnormal Psychology and Dinner at Eightish episodes of Cheers are great for Lilith moments.

For me, Lilith pretty much steals the show any time she's on the screen and I'm a fan of most of her moments!

I agree, Cat. One came to mind when Sam is giving her driving lessons and they come back with Mayday traumatised. Funny as hell.

Any moment where Lilith closes that one eye without even squinting witht the other one! Like where Martin was taking pictures with that old Russian camera during Freddie's ceremony. Lilith's left eye is wild!

Im not positive what episode this is from, but I'm thinking one of the earlier ones..

I just love this quote:
"I'm here for a convention and happened to hear your voice on the radio. I kept hoping you'd introduce Pearl Jam's latest hit, but much to my chagrin, you were doling out worthless little advice pellets from your psychiatric Pez dispenser."

the way she says those last three words make me laugh. oh, she's funny that Lilith.

That's from The Show Where Lilith Comes Back. And what follows is Frasier writing on a piece of paper to Roz, "You're FIRED!" And Roz writing back "Im Union!" Cracks me up!

Fantastic scene and one of my favs from the fist season!

Lillith: "Niles, I'm sorry to hear your marriage ended in a shambles."

Niles: "Ditto."
"Oh yes Niles, that's just what we need, a fourth language!"

I love Bebe Neuwirth's deadpan delivery of the following line in Season 1 Episode 16 - The Show Where Lilith Comes Back:

Lilith [to Martin]: Knowing as I do your relationship with Frasier, whe he informed me he had taken you in, I immediately flipped to the weather channel to see if hell had indeed frozen over.

In Lilith Needs a Favor when Brent Spiner tells her she should be a comedian she laughs and says "I've thought about it" - I love the way Bebe delivers that line (and the idea of Lilith actually doing stand up)
