I have to say I quite enjoyed this episode. All I read in the newspaper was "Frasier takes on and replaces a previous station announcer". I didn't know what to expect and I thought it was quite clever how he got Roz to open up on the air in order to encourage more callers to phone in and chat.
Frasier giving Roz that hug of encouragement and reassurance just showed what a true and loyal supporter he is to her, the closeness between the two of them as colleagues, and as best friends.
I love Peri Gilpin as Roz and as always Kelsey Grammar never fails to deliver as Dr Frasier Crane |

Poor Peri Gilpin! Reading the script for this rare Roz-centred episode must have had the talented actress in tears. Her chance to shine is completely ambushed by a dire script with cringeworthy dialogue. The only source of amusement is provided by Spokane broadcasting legend ‘Sully’, whose timeslot Frasier has just inherited. The scene where Frasier is introduced to the Spokane media is the one true highlight of an otherwise dire episode. |

'Frasier Has Spokane' review, Sep 23, 2005 |

A pedestrian and at times rather boring episode, which sees Frasier's radio show being picked up in Spokane, with he and Roz being invited to host a one-off show there. What few laughs are on offer here centre around the locals' disgust at Frasier replacing broadcasting institution Neil 'Sully' Sullivan, with the subplot of Daphne bossing around Niles and Martin when the trio attempt to put together a table amounting to little more than tolerable filler. What sinks this episode though is the unwelcome return of the tedious Roz/Roger storyline. Quite why the producers thought this was an interesting or engaging enough plot to drag on throughout the season is hard to fathom, with the sequence towards the end of Roz lamenting her break-up with Roger when pretending to be a caller on the radio show coming across as horribly leaden and sentimental, while it's hard to care about Roz's relationship with a rather bland character who had previously appeared in just one episode. Not much fun at all. |

Whenever I watch this episode it always seems to drag, yet whenever that episode comes to mind, I have nothing but praise for it. This is largely due to the wondefully written and acted second last scene.
I quite enjoyed the sub-plot, as well. And I was quite suprised to learn that Martin isn't a very good tradesman. Seeing Daphne decked out in her old concert-going clothes was a laugh, too. |
